Tutorial: Lapping your CPU @ Metku.net - 01/14/09 11:42 PM

Hi!

We just finished our latest modding article. This time we wrote a tutorial on how to
lap a heat spreader of an Intel CPU.

From the article:

"IHS or Integrated Heat Spreader is the visible top of a CPU that features the prints for
processor type and manufacturing date. Usually this copper plate is more or less crooked
when the processor leaves the factory and this leads to a bad contact between the CPU and
the cooler. This, again, causes the CPU core temperature to rise with any cooler. This is
the issue that the CPU lapping tries to overcome. In this article we'll show you updated
instructions to lapping your heat spreader."

It would be great if you could post news about this. Thanks.
