Whose says you can't lap a Zalman HSF??(pics)

EWBatOVAclockin · Mar 9, 2005

Well I just got my lapping kit from the good ol guys from www.easypckits.com, they threw in those free cable ties too

. Ok, well I looked at the way the artic ceramique displaced itself across the cpu and MAN was it horrible. It wasn't even in the center or even placed about. So I knew this was gonna be a good project

Well so far everything is running fine and actually 5 c cooler than before. Right now I would be at 45c with FAH running. But now with the lap done I'm running at 40c with FAH running. Give me ten minutes or so, so I can post up the pics and see how it does under load.

PEACE :clap:

What grit sandpaper did you use?

Nice man, I just lapped my 7000CU but I did a 2 sec job .. but 2x better than it was b4 .. still havn't tested it yet.

EWBatOVAclockin · Mar 9, 2005

Well I did a confusing process. Because I thought the base was already pretty flat so I started with 1000grit. But then I realized that it wasn't flat at all. So then I went back to 400 and worked my way back up all the way to 2000 grit

Just got the pics done will be coming soon

PEACE

How much was the kit? I need to do the same with my XP120. I might get a set

EWBatOVAclockin · Mar 9, 2005

And the last

EWBatOVAclockin · Mar 9, 2005

Oh man it's really worth it. Only 10 bucks shipped for 600,800,1000,1200,1500 and 2000 plus the glass. He also threw in the free zip ties. Great guy

You should really get one, they work like a charm

PEACE

Sweet, nice lap .. for the first batch of photos .. I was like WTF?!?!?? Then I saw the last pic ... *starts to drewl* .. nice!

EWBatOVAclockin · Mar 9, 2005

Haha yea no order just the process. I'm loading it right w/ 2 prime and it's looking real good. 44c straight LOAD. This is one happy camper

Nice lap job!

EWBatOVAclockin · Mar 9, 2005

Thanks for all the comments

Ok well after a full 10 min of priming its flucuates between 45 and 44c. So thats about a 2 or 3 degree drop for the lap job. And the arctic ceramique still has to set in

So over-all this was VERY worth it and I incourage everyone to get these very cheap kits and experience the CHANGE :clap:

PEACE

wow, i didn't think you'd ever NEED to lap a 7000cu.. mine had a REALLY nice base

EWBatOVAclockin · Mar 9, 2005

Yea that's what I thought too. Untill actually got done to doing is when I reall y realized that it needed it. You should double check yours

PEACE

SolidxSnake · Mar 9, 2005

Yup the easypc kits are excellent. I got the free grab bag of cable ties also! I'm thinking about lapping my XP90 for my LGA rig in the works.....

Saruji · Mar 9, 2005

Yea lapping my 7000 cu wasnt all that hard, I went from 400 (with water) to 800 to 1000 to 2000. Its about 4 c cooler now. I love this Zalman

somegeek · Mar 9, 2005
