As title after discovering recently that planned upgrdes to water-cooling wasn't going to happen iv decided to revisit my silver arrow on a phenom x6 1055t 95w, it's always hit high temps of 71load and been annoying me for ages.
Turns out my silver arrow is as bowed as a rainbow while the CPU is razor blade flat, rubbish!! So the task tonight has begun of lapping the silver arrow, I'll add pics once my main pc is built again but 30mins lapping on 200grit and only 55% of its gone copper, it just shows how uneven it was, 2 more days I think working down to around 1200-1600 grit for a mirror shine and I'll reattach see what diffence is makes.
