Lappin a Chip???

[AlanSr]

I just read an OLD post on another board that back when amd was runnin around 400 or so, people were lappin the chip itself.

Would that work for a T bird....I don't think it would, that lil chip seems to small for that, but I don't know.

i did one of my p3s out of desperation. didnt seem to do anything as far a temps

I would reconmend against it, ive never heard of any gains out of it and you have the chance of not lapping the chip evenly or lapping it to much

[outhouse]

DO NOT LAPP AMD DIE'S! there way to thin as it is and the gains are not worth the risk [like the above post said] even with Intel die's, even if you do not damage the CPU you will not see much in the way of improvements.

I have done it with a couple of Birds. Lost about 2C in temps. It's not for the faint at heart or those who can't afford to loose a chip.
