Is there a thing as too much pressure on a processor from your air cooling retention bracket, this all without crushing the processor of course.
Yesterday I lapped my CPU and TRUE in a push/pull setup to flatten them out. Before the lapping I was seeing core temps of 67-67-59-59 (tjmax 100) and calibrated the temps were 62 across with a CPU Tcase at 57.
Now after lapping I am seeing 65-65-58-58 uncalibrated with tjmax 100 and 59 across calibrated. The Tcase temperature is 54.
After the lapping I added the washer mod too my TRUE and now I fear that I added too much pressure to the CPU so that the processor and HSF are no longer making perfect contact. The HSF looks like it is seated crookedly on the processor... Is it possible to have too much pressure on your HSF and have therefor pushed the TIM off cpu and heatsink contact, or bowed something else causing less contact?
Other than that I believe these temps are rather high for a Q6600 at 1.37V and a TRUE with 2x Noctua P12...
