arctic cooling freezer 7 pro - lapping question

[rookiE6400]

hello everyone,

i noticed my E4300's IHS is VERY U-shaped (like extreme sport's half pipe!)

how i found out is, when i re-mount, i cleaned off the MX-1 (very good BTW, keep it) and applied a very very thin layer of AS5 on the freezer 7 pro, and within seconds, BIOS shutted power due to overheating. i took off the freezer 7 pro and saw only 2 edges of IHS has AS5.

so i am planning on lapping the IHS, but while i am at it, i also want to lap the freezer 7 pro as well

so, has anybody successfully lapped a freezer 7 pro?

please advise, thanks!

If the Freezer 7 Pro's base is flat then why lap it?

Watch out for rabid squirrels.

Look at the last post in this thread. It'll probably get you into the ballpark.
