Lapping...worth it?

[Sayso]

Damn you, before I saw this thread I didn't know what lapping was! Now I have read lots of guides, tutorials and blogs; I cannot help but want to do it to my processor.

I was also wondering what are the main considerations and possible problems that can occur with lapping? I can think of, other than the warranty (Which it is out of now):

- Short curcuiting the processor: Either from dust, water or not grounding properly (Depending on how you lap your CPU).use a ir duster
- Lapping too hard and possibly crushing the CPU?not unless your superman
- Lapping too much into the heart of the processormmm you can notice when its even, but could be done if your stupid
- Improper lapping causing worse uneven top than you start withyep this could happen

That is about all I can think of, are there any more considerations? Also how do I minimise these risks?

minimise the risks by reading a good guide, getting a piece of glass to lap on, and take your time..it can take a few hours to get a perfect finish.
