Greetings all,
I had my E4300 running at 3GHz with stock voltage, but temperatures reached 72C with my RevA Ninja with a Scythe fan. I had an extra Sunbeam 775 Silent Whisper in the closet, and thought I would get adventurous...
Already tried lapping it...
CD-rom screws, new blade, foam from old SLK-800
Protecting the pads...
Cutterization commencified...
Do not be fooled, there was no "true" DIE to IHS contact...
Hoping the DIE was not dead...
Foam for pressure, and protection...
Lapped the Sunbeams base
CD-Rom screws to secured to Thermal Right backplate...
It was pretty nerve racking, especially when first cutting into the rubbery material, but all went as smooth as my other "shim" removals (X800GTO2 and Sempy 2600+).
I have this now running passive, and reaching a maximum temperature of 60C! That is a 12C drop. I still need to devise a means of securing my 92mm FSP fan to the Sunbeam.
For a passive 12 dollar cooler, I simply cannot complain. The Sunbeam is the same as the AC7Pro, and I chose to use it over the Ninja for peace of mind.
Thanks for looking all,

PS - Sunbeam was purchased last year with rebate deal.
