Lapping Q9550

Sayso · 7 Oct 2008 at 15:08

Im going to lap my Q9550 this weekend, has anyone got any tips not covered by the guide?
Im mostly trying to even out the temps across all cores as one is consistantly 10C higher than the others..can lapping cure this or am i just going to make things worse?
Also going to do a "minor" lap on my cooler (not mirror finish !!) as i think this is going to be very awkward considering the size and shape of it, has anyone got any tips for lapping a Fan base as most of the guides ive seen only seem to be about CPUs.

thanks

On a side note how many fan clips does the TRUE come with?

so push or pull with a 1 fan set up?

had a nightmare getting the fan on with the clips provided is there an easy way to do it?

also where can i get some more clips so i can get another fan on there?
