| I'm Diggin it!  |  Re: Lapping the GeminII? By all means, lap to your hearts content. Just be sure you can afford to throw a brand new CPU out the window. I'm NOT saying this is what you'll end up doing, I just don't recommend it on a regular basis. If you were getting into phase change cooling setups and reaching for some very high overclocks, I could see lapping a CPU's IHS. At the level we normally run our overclocks, no reason for it except for your own enjoyment. Halut, the second you said you took a dremel to yours was all the proof I needed to conclude that you should never try lapping anything ever again.

| HL's Technomancer  | Re: Lapping the GeminII? If your not sure on your heatsink's contact, look it up on Frostytech. They review coolers and list the contact roughness and how good or bad it is. That should give you an idea of if you need to lap your cooler; more often then not theres no need.  |
