oxydation doesn't affect anything... don't care too much about it...

eh sean where u got 2500grit in SP?which shop ek?u know the price?

very hard to find 2k above grit leh i only can get the most 1.5k grit

shops in KJ stock 2000 grit, ace hardware do stock too, but kind of pricey IMHO

if its good quality type then i think it should be worth it as u dont need to buy so many sheets of low quality sand paper... lagi have to change it every now and then when lapping like i did....

You can sandpaper your CPU???

Wont it spoil?

actually it wont if u dont over do it... but it will void the warranty of the cpu...

u can check the front post.. i lapped my e6600... and it still works like new after half a year...

Who wanna make money with their lapping skills? Strictly from KL...
Lapping my E8200 and DC Ice Tower for $$$

dude don't b lazy la.. Get some sandpaper and lap it.. Its really easy.. Exercise ur hand.. Haha..

hehe yeah true..but not all ppl got leisure time dats y will got ppl offer for srvice

but it only took me like around 2 hours to do everything... so its actually not very long also... cannot be 2 hours in a week also dont have time what....

kekeke no comment on dat..but its good oso got ppl like this..so who got extra leisure time can make pocket money with providing these ppl lapping service

thats just the lapping process lol. then need to put the thing back to mobo and back to casing.... woah lotsa work already T^T

then maybe i also wanna provide lapping service too... im quite free though

Here the gap temp between those 2 cores. Is it a bit abnormal high in gap? If ~3-5C gap it wont matter but the gap always >10C. Make me kinda want to lap...I think I'll lap it this Saturday myself. Not looking for mirror finish juz want a flat and not so high in gap between cores. Please support me guys....

i'll support u all the way....

but imo the temp is quite normal.... it could be inaccuracy of the sensor or due to ur un-flatness of ur heatsink base.... if the difference is >20c then thats something wrong but the most important thing is that ur temp is not above 70c....

anyways what cooler are u using?

he's using deep cooler ice tower if im not mistaken

Using This Cooler

@ham_revilo

I'm pretty sure it the IHS that no flat enuff coz before this using CM GeminII but the temp are the same gap as this one. That make me conclude that this caused by uneven IHS. I already spread the AC MX-2 evenly and not use the rice or line method. BTW my hand already itchy to lap and see my IHS copper...WARRANTY? Nah...forget those warranty, if my E8200 dead, you think Intel will easily RMA the chip? They will find thousands of caused....Hahaha...Hope it will run smoothly...

huh?izzit bro?intel wont replace the unit ah if dead proc?erm btw y not try lap tu hsf base 1st..then try it out..perhaps cause not by uneven ihs..but the hsf base
