Tried searching but nothing really came up, so I ask here.
Do people still lap cpu's? Haven't really seen it being talked about.
I have done dozens. That being said I have never measured one iota's difference in temperature. I just like to tinker. One problem is I have dozens of lapped cpu's laying around and I can't tell any of them apart without putting them in a board firing them up.
Sharpie ?
Not organized enough........ I do all the hard work then tend to be too lazy to do the easy stuff. I am always losing stuff. I am 53 so maybe it's senility?
Lol. My age. I understand now.
I don't lap anymore. I just de-lid.

Maybe someday I will give that a shot. Is there any advantage to doing that on AMD cpu's? Don't they use solder? Do you apply a different TIM and then reuse the heat spreader?
