Um...

Lapping is okay, especially with these chips -- even recommended!

However, IHS removal is EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS to the health of your CPU -- any CPU for that matter -- so, don't even consider it!!!

I swore that I'd NEVER speak of lapping again on this board again.

So a bump for you OP

Yup, the guy lost his proc from doing that. I swear that if it had worked for him, I would've followed as well .

You'd think they would have tried the IHS removal on an e6300...

Not that I would do it or even recommend it, but I have seen a couple of guys do it successfully. If I remember right they got about a 3 degree drop woohoo!

Edit: nice guide, but 2500 grit?

This is not a a lapping guide. A lapping guide would describe how to lap a C2D. This review just shows you the result of a lap and how to destroy your C2D by removing the IHS. It's really a "How to ruin your C2D by removing your IHS" GUIDE. What a waste of time!

Sounds like someone used this guide to remove his IHS :laugh:
Why would you not call it lapping a guide?

There has to be a better way to remove the IHS than with a blowtorch.

Maybe they should make some without the IHS for enthusiasts. Old processors didn't have them and most people were able to install them without breaking anything.

This is a REAL guide to lapping your C2D
