do yourself a favor and just buy a new HSF, then lap it.
pretty sure lapping voids the warranty

Yes, it voids your warranty. The likelihood of your processor going out is VERY slim unless you purposefully pump too many volts through it. I have personally never heard of someone's processor going out unless it was like 8 or 9 years after they bough it....and if you still are worried about that, then you are a cheapskate, lol

Lapping will definitely void your warranty for your CPU. The sink might depend on who you bought it from and how picky they are. I recommend that people lap their sinks and that's what I sell the kits to do - and frankly, that's generally where 75-80% of potential improvement comes from. But... lapping your CPU WILL provide dividends if performed carefully. As with any reward, there is some measure of risk involved. David Last edited by insulglass : 08-10-07 at 08:42 PM. |

Well the heatsink is the stock one for all AMD processors, and I am not going to lap the processor because I have $60 to my name and if it breaks no way I can get a new one.
