CPU Lapping

Just got a 6400 with a bit of a 'raised edge' just thought i'd add a photo for the heck of it.
I could be a bit late mentioning this but anyways i can understand why intel let it go, looking at the base of their HSF the circular copper slug fits nicely inside the slightly raised edges so it doesnt have a problem until
you overclock its butt off and need a bigger hs.

Scuse the dark pic, was a tad awkward getting the light right so it could be seen.

Oh and its a 29B so hoping for a decent oc :)

I have finished a cooler on 1200 grit and still got a mirror finish. You don't really need to go all the way up unless you are a bit of a perfectionist.
 
Hi,don't know if this as been mentioned but another thing to test the contact area/interface between the heatsink & the CPU's heatspreader,is to use Engineers Blue.Put it on the surfaces(test one surface at a time) & assemble together(maybe sligthly twist),remove & you should see you points of contact & points of no contact etc.
Another way might be to put a very very small amount of thermal compound(small amount just in centre of heatspreader) ,assemble,then remove & check its spread all over the CPU heatspreader.

Cheers BOB
