Hi guy's and girl's,

This weekend I will be putting my i5 760 back under water again.
When I had it under water a few weeks ago temps was 30'c idle and 50'c fully load.
I've been thinking of lapping my cpu to see if I can shave more off my temps.
But Is it really worth it or not?.
What harm could I do to my cpu?.

Thanks
 
thanks guy's for more info :).

Get your voltages down a bit! 1.35v is an insane amount for 4ghz, try 1.3v mine only needs 1.27v for 4Ghz, but needs 1.38 for 4.3Ghz.

I did post in the overclocking section about this. I use to able to run at 4ghz with 1.26volts then one day i switch my pc on and it would not boot and kept on saying overclock profile failed, so i upped to volts to 1.35 and now it's been stable. I have been told to update my bios as that mite help.
