Yes. I don't know if you noticed, but there was actually a really crappy finish on it. At least on mine there was. And it showed. I didn't even get a perfect mirror finish, and it dropped my temps by a good amount.

He is. I've seen him on with in the last month or so.
He checks in every now and then I think. Send him a PM also.

@KK Yeah i seen how rough the sink was on mine,it had some pretty noticeable grooves so to speak. I put a thin layer of paste right on the sink before i seated it. I have been thinking about lapping mine too! I'm scary as hell about lapping the cpu though!
Did you take the pins off when you lapped the heat sink?

Update on my progress.
I lapped my HSF and CPU. I lowered my idle and load temps almost 10c°.
That mean more overclock!

so I assume we will be starting a new thread everyday,

and now the bad news, I reinstalled vista, got the real SP1 for it, and now it will only run 1 copy of F@H so i'm back to using 1 core, until I figure out the problem,

Maybe once we get big. I think that we should make it less often(every other day? Weekly?) until we really get rolling. Im not sure if we have enough involvement yet - its good what we got but the test will come if we can keep this up over time. Dilligence is not a 110% effort some of the time, but 100% effort all of the time.

That sucks dave. Leave it to M$ to screw something good up..

@2- I didn't take the pins off. I worked around them. I popped the bottom of the retaining clip off the block of the HSF to give me some room to work. I would recommend you try it out on a old HSF first. I did it to my Geminii, and it turned out even better then my AF7.
