Lapped my E6750

[Wastedslayer]

So i got the balls to finally lap my CPU and the results were pretty well, it was my first time doing anything like this so i read quite a few reviews. I started with 220 grit then to 400 then to 600 (for a while) then jumped to 1500 for a nice finish. Here are some pics I couldnt really get a good reflective shot with the angles on the mobo but tell me what you guys think.

Lapped IHS on my E6750

The pictures are kind of grainy cause my digi cam sucks haha, but I mean you can see the mirror finish on both of these I cant wait to see the improvement.

Thanks again to Scrizz for the technique to do my heatsink and freaksavior for the Brasso idea both worked wonderfully!

Tell me what you guys think,

take some brasso and clean it off, it will looks SOO pretty lol.

The ac f7p well, that one is tricky. i had to take the pins out of the mounting holes and then i taped the x clamp to the cooler.

[Wastedslayer]

Whats brasso lol

[Wastedslayer]

O metal polish ok umm where can I find that at?

[freaksavior]

walmart, target, home depot, lowes, ace hardware, ect.

[Wastedslayer]

o and you never commented on how it looked :) did I do bad or good?

[Wastedslayer]

o and is brasso conductive like should I worry if it drips a little onto my components or do I need to dry it any special way?

[freaksavior]

the pics aren't exactly the best. So maybe try a clearer picture.

Brasso? take the proc out first clean it well using brasso, then use a alcohol rubbing pad or anything that is mostly alcohol and clean it off.

and instead of posting another, just edit your post before.

a little brasso after my lap job

Sweet jesus I need to get me some of that

Now how did you go about lapping your AF7 Pro like should I take the push pins out or take off the whole X clamp, and then use some needle nose pliers to put it back on?

[Scrizz]

I didn't take the pins off of my ac7 when I lapped it.

EDIT: I actually used an old optical drive on it's side, cut the sandpaper to fit the side of the drive.
It worked well, and I didn't have to remove anything lol

[Wastedslayer]

Then how the heck did you do it?

[Scrizz]

^^

[Wastedslayer]

Cmon Scrizz quit holdin out on me I really wanna know, I dont wanna have this shiny ass CPU and then what looks like someone took a brillo pad to my AC7. >< Hehe

[Scrizz]

I already said how I did it, lol

[Wastedslayer]

Ooo sorry didnt see the edit, nice idea though

*Goes to get old CD Drive*

[Wastedslayer]

Just finished lapping my AFP 7 that CD trick worked like a freaking charm hehe, now just need some brasso Im hoping to see like a -10C drop in temp ive seen it get like that, at least 7 though would be nice ill post more pics tommorow

[Scrizz]

glad to see it worked out :toast:
;)

Edit: New pics up top

[phanbuey]

brassoing anything lapped makes your temps a bit higher, its commonly known... the best is a 1000Grit finish, no metal polish - as it leaves behind residue which fills in the microscopic gaps (hence the mirror finish) and the residue is not as temp conductive as thermal paste.

Do any googling online if you dont believe me.

i would re-lap both of those, just enough to get all the polish off.

[Wastedslayer]

Eh I dont mind a few degrees I think my lap job is significant :) I trust ur advice though

[TUngsten]

I busted my freezer pro clips lapping it LOL

[Wastedslayer]

Ouch, if you wanna know the best way to do it read what Scrizz posted up a little further in the post his idea was ingenious

I've never lapped a proc, but in your case you can see some 'scratches'... in the automotive industry we use grit 2500 and even higher. In the future I might try lapping my E4300 but I'll be using 2500 grit to finish it off. There even exist stuff similar to dishwashing sponge in the automotive industry, we have it and it's supposed to give an even better finish than 2500 grit. Only short of applying polish like they do to cars, but in this case polish would be ruining it all due to the chemicals present.

[Wastedslayer]

On my CPU the only thing that really looks like a scratch in that picture is the ripples and those are from a fan if you look close you can see its a fan, in real life though its literally like looking in a mirror if i had a nicer cam i would get some better shots.

[Wastedslayer]

Also I edited to put the new pics up top as well

[Black Panther]

I checked but by the time I did you had changed the pic.

So nevermind, the new one you put up looks like you really did a good job! (I never meant to say you didn't)

Very reflective and surely better than that cpu had been at stock! Bet you'll be seeing better temperatures as well. I really have to do that on my proc sometime...

[Wastedslayer]

Yeah I didnt think people were looking at the right pictures so I went ahead and moved them to the first post ;), Than you for your comment.

theres my ultra 120, lapped it, washed off with acetone to get rid of the chemical's left from brasso, idle temps on a naked 5000 black edition are 29 and load 43 during orthos cpu stress test after an hour at 1.525v 3.38Ghz

[bcracer220]

i have the same setup (not lapped), how are the temps?

[Wastedslayer]

Ill tell you when my AS5 gets here tommorow ;)

So the AS5 got here yesterday and I plopped a nice strip of it across the CPU and then proceeded to mount the heatsink. I fired up the comp and then starting running some prime 95 while watching Temps, It seemed to peak at 50C but both the cores were at 37C, which one do I trust?

Wasted

[Scrizz]

don't use too much AS5, since you lapped your components you don't need that much thermal grease.

what are you reading your temps with?

[Wastedslayer]

Fanspeed

[Scrizz]

try coretemp, and your motherboards utility software
