Can or should you lap FC-PGA CPU's?

[SuperSix]

Seems like a dangerous proposition, just wondering..

 

[BurntKooshie]

you can, but its HIGHLY recommended against it....the covering is already extremely thin. They are pretty smooth already, I don't know of anyone personally that has felt it was worth the risk.

 

[LarryJoe]

Not worth it.

 

[AndyHui]

Don't bother. You'd end up lapping the CPU core off anyway.

Unlike the old PPGA celerons, there is nothing but a very thin coating between the heatsink and the actual silicon. It's a bad idea..very bad.
