PEP66 Question

[Kenmitch]

As I was installing my new 1ghz axia I noticed the copper base of my PEP66 has a few battle scars I'll call them. Must have been the put it on take it off redo bridge battle I had with the MSI Pro2a\Duron....Got it right the first time but the board had the multiplier bug!!! iwill KK266 took care of that problem

Do you think lapping would remove this? Anybody knoe how thick the copper is? Not really too deep but you can almost read it Was kinda paranoid about reusing it but needed to test the chip Seems to be working OK as is with Arctic Silver but temps seem a little on the high side.

Yup lapping definately will work. It should take you took long to lap it if the scratch isn't too deep. I just realized that you know the laser etched writing on top of the core, that can cause scratches on the copper heatsink if you move it around on the core. I noticed it when I took it off I lapped it to make it nice and smooth again before i put it back on.

I have an imprint of my chips serial on my pep66, too lazy to lap it though
