what do you mean? thats my processor, i lapped it down to a mirrored finish... 2000grit sandpaper, its probably around 2500-3000grit though just cause i kept at it for so long.

i hope to hit 3.4ghz with my freezer 7. it should do just fine.
this cpu is so tiny, its like 3/4 the size of my athlon 64 X2...

You should be more careful when you do that.

Otherwise, great work! Did the temps drop much?

Its small, but i dont bout 3/4 smaller. It hardly looks smaller to me. But anyway, thats awsome dude, i wanna do that to my X2 and P4, would explain to me how its done and the tools i need? Do you just grind it down with a normal sandpaper grinder? And also, wont that heat up the cpu extremely doing it for a period of time?

i was thinking of doing that with my new fx-60 that's coming in a few days. would it be a good idea to use a buffing wheel? or should i do it by hand?

Why do you want to do it in the first place?

fade2green514 · 09-28-2006, 01:34 AM

you need:
sharpie marker
sandpaper, low grit, medium grit and extremely fine grit (i used 2000grit as my finest)
piece of glass (or any extremely flat surface will do)
neoprene, i used a napkin lol

what you do is you mark an X with the sharpie from corner to corner, and then you sand it with the roughest until the X is completely gone, use the sharpie to place the X back where it was, then use the next finest grit, and repeat until you get it to the FINEST grit that you've got.
what i did was i taped the sandpaper down to the piece of glass, otherwise you get an uneven surface on the cpu, and thats not good. you're looking for the most contact possible.

when i did it to my athlon 64 X2 it actually dropped temps around 7C though.

btw omega, i didnt test temps before i lapped it... and i cant test temps now. my mobo is DOA im waiting for a replacement.

Ohhh, you added a second pic and now I can see what you mean

I just couldn't get my head round that first pic, so many reflections going on

Good job
