alright, i lapped my thermoengine until i can see myself in it....cpu temp went down 3c idle temp and down 3-4c load temp, i started with 800 grit, then went to 1500 and its PERFECT. i ran folding@home just to make sure i was getting the right temps. later dudes

Nice I'd say its time to oc your 1.33.

37°C load huh , grr I'm getting 42°C load with my 1.2@default@1.85v in a 27.2°C room.

So whats you vcore and whats you room temps RangerJoe34?

v core is at 1.76 and room temp is about 17-19c usually, so its pretty chilly, but i like it when its colder so its cool

Does that usually happen with lapping?

well I think if the heatsink is very rough you can get a couple of degrees but not sure about a already nice surface maybe less.

When I got my 1.2 T-Bird I only had the stock hsf for a lil while. I was building my water rig... And I wanted to play with it and see how far I could get it O/C'd so I wanted to check the hs and make sure it was gettin good contact, so I lapped it.. After lapping it the temp dropped nearly 6-7 degrees C... So it can be a huge difference... But not always...
