Guide to Lapping an Intel LGA 775 Processor

[rrjwilson]

I have a Q6600 i know i can lap using the techniques in this tutorial (very good too) but does the Q6600 G0 have a copper section like this or do i just lap for a silvery shine instead?

Anyone done an updated version or want to show their accomplishments?

Pretty sure it will have copper.. with a nickle coating.

[rrjwilson]

Pretty sure Has anyone actually done this as £150 is a fair bit for a really small coaster if it has no coating

Had a google for "Q6600 lapped" and all the logs with pics show a copper undercoat. Now, go forth and sand.

Now thats a good link. Not even a full day in and BAM some perfect replies to my boob questions. Thanks guys i'll do my best to supply none rubbish photos when i lap the CPU. If i'm doing the CPU should i also try to do the HSF also? Surely it will help even if it isn't to the same degree as the CPU?

Yep, the flatter the surfaces the better contact you will get.

Hokily doke i'll be doing that soon then.

I have up to 2500 grit paper as I have repaired my cars and others a few times.

Nice guide, always been tempted to give some sanding love to my E6400 would it be worth lapping the coolermaster geminii cooler I'm using as well?

If I can afford the sand paper, next weekend I'll Lap my Pentium 4 1.4 GHz from 2000, I can't overclock it, but I'll just do it to feel 1337er.

Anyways, I'll post a reply with my progress of it.
