Of all the incredibly stupid things people do to their CPUs, including overclocking them until they are hot enough to melt steel, the single most imbecilic modification has to be lapping. Using absurdly skewed logic and completely unsupported data, lappers believe that by physically grinding down the surfaces of their CPUs to make them flatter and gain better contact with the similarly lapped surfaces of their heatsink fan cooler assembly they will lower their operating temperatures up to 20 degrees C.

This guys an idiot, in short he claims lapping destroys the cpu with no proven benefits lol

I've just lapped a server heatsink and it was pretty flat already but to stay its dangerous, stupid and a waste of time he's completely wrong - I've always seen lower temps after lapping
