Guide to Lapping an Intel LGA 775 Processor

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

It does have copper and can guarantee it.. Check this page out of Webbo's

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?
 
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. :p

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

Chuck in some 3000 grit for extra smoothness with some liquid paste and your sorted for low temps before any wc block or HFC has even touched it ...
 
To get it right though takes alot of patience. I would not start with 200 grit. You may only need to lap it down a few u. I usually just used 1000 grit for the whole thing. Took about 10 to 20 minutes using 1000 grit. I used to have threads on this around here.

The 1.4GHz PIII I traded with wrathchild was lapped a little wasn't it.:D

I never lapped any of my PIV's. Dropping temps just a few degree's is not enough of a cause for me to do it. I better be dropping load temps more like 10~15 degree's for it to be worth it. I have never seen this kind of drop. Does anyone have any links besides the one above. He didn't seem too sure that it was working as well as it could have. We should go back through some of my threads here and see what I say how much it dropped my loads temps.
