Lap that new 1.2GHz celery for better cooling. Pic on what to do inside.

Lapping it should allow it to cool better as it doesn't have to go through two gaps of thermal paste. How much better cooling I am not sure but it may be enough to hit 1600MHz at default vcore. My tooly still hits 32 deg. C when ambient is 20 deg. C so without the IHS in between it may be better, especially with a Cu HS. Tell me what you think.

Forgot to add also that leaving the ring would be a good idea cause it would save the fragile core from high pressures as is shown in the pic.

I don't have a 1.2GHz celery yet. I have a 1.2GHz tualatin PIII with 256k cache.
