I was just checking out your temps and noticed the huge temp spread between your 4 cores.

Before lapping, there is a 21 deg difference core 0 and core 3.

After lapping, the difference is 24 deg.

Shouldn't this be a cause of concern?

On my pc's I get at the most 7 deg spread.

I tried lapping(1500grit adhesive paper) Intel stock heatsink just now. No special method used, I just applied some water and lap it... Surface wasn't as reflective as imagined.
