Anyone lapped their CPU heatspreader?

Just wondering if anyone had lapped their P4 heatspreader?

It seems like with these shiney copper heatskinks and thermal compound that contains pure silver, that a P4 heatspreader (made out of some cheap low conductivity metal) would be the weakest link.

Hi XMS

Yep I lapped my XP-90, it has a Nickel base with a copper core underneath. Copper definitely conducts better than Nickel, and around 2-3 deg C difference in temp.

Yeah i've lapped my wateblock too, because i accidentally made a small dent in it (oops).

But i'm just wondering if anyone has actually lapped the top of their processor? I can't imagine intel taking much time to ensure the top of the cpu is totally flat.

if intel were having problems keeping the temps of their 4Ghz chip down then I imagined they would have upgraded their heatspreader but it seems not

I lapped my Winnie's IHS and it turned out sooooo nice...

www.easypckits.com has good priced lapping kits!
