Well both the cpu and the cooler were concave. :( After a good lapping of both I have lost about 5 degrees...Not ground breaking.

Need to pick the new G card cooler up today hopefully that will lake it a little cooler in there too. :)

Edit: Ok with my little reduction in temps I have bumped it upto 4Ghz with 1.4v under load. 84 degrees under load. That'll do. :hehe:

Thanks. :) I have done heat sinks before but not a cpu. In the old days people used to lap socket A cpu dies!!!

Here's a good guide. :)

Get some 1500 and 2000 grit too...

Who needs a shaving mirror when you have a lapped CPU and heatsink eh?

Well I have a range of sand papers the most important ones being the 600 and 1200 grit. I am going to lap both the IHS of the e7200 and the cooler. I'll try and post some pics as it goes and see what the result is after. :)

Base temps under load (Gaming) have been around 78 degrees. (One core is always a few degrees cooler due to airflow too).

Hope to loose about 10 degrees...And not trash a PC...
