Hello all, I hope this is in the right section since I am talking about temps while using a Water Cooled setup. Anyways, is lapping a core i7 920 worth the risk and effort? I hear that the i7's run relatively hot with all the power they consume and I'm wondering if I will see just a degree or two difference, or will it be more. Also, after seeing video demonstrations of how to lap a CPU, I noticed that most CPUs have an uneven surface and lapping the CPU will aid in the mounting of the CPU block.
I direct these questions/concerns more towards those who have experience with lapping because I have done plenty of research on this and all I seem to get is theoretical positives and negatives on lapping, but as always, everything is welcome.
PS. Any guides on how to lap and what to watch out for?
Thanks
