I will be reseating my heatsink with it this week(end, probably). Should I relap it first? Its at 600 grit now, and I have some 1500grit that I can use, but I don't really want to skip so far.
Nate, let us know how it goes. I would do 600 --> 800 --> 1500. That is very similiar to what I did on my SI-128.

Good luck

Nate, in my opinion wet sanding gave me the best results. I did 400 -> 600 -> 800 -> 1500. Same goes for my IHS on my Opteron 170 except I did not use water.

Hope that helps

Nate, no I only used a few drops of water on the sandpaper and went with that. I never actually tried the dish soap.

Good luck

Nate, I just dropped a few drops of water in the middle of the paper. Pretty much where I was going to sand is where I put the water. It's all about trial by error when you get into it. The finishing product is always rewarding

Good luck bud!

sort of...
now testing Orthos blend at priority 9 2.75GHz (1.425V though )
Temps are actually not much higher than at 2.7ghz 1.35V, so I'm not sure if maybe it has a messed up temperature sensor or not...
I have lapped again and I used MX-2 thermal paste this time.
