I don't know it took me like 6 hours to lap my X2. However I feel I may not have done the job correctly as the temps really didn't improve a whole lot at all. Oh well. That's why I don't lap no more. Wish I knew how to lap in 30 minutes to an hour, lol.

Lapping time really depends how bad the surface is. Took me about 5 hours to do both CPU and heatsink. Both were very uneven. That and I'm really anal about the finished product

Wait.

Wait.

So none of y'all's CPUs take a bath when you lap them..?

thlnk3r's right: I ran CPUs under the running faucet to clean them off whilst lapping. Didn't harm the chip none at all.

Just make sure the CPU is bone-dry before plugging it back into the socket and giving it some juice!

Do you mean giving your CPU a bath whilst lapping?

Um, just promise you won't blame me if things get FUBARed.

Nah, dude.

The chip takes a shower/bath; I do too, but not while I'm lapping.

Moral of the story: Lots of ways to do things and have success.

Alternative solutions FTW!

By the way, if you S939ers are really interested in the art of lapping, allow me to plug our very own GuardianOdin's guide on how to do it. That's seriously one of the best guides I know about.

You can also ask thlnk3r for his pet techniques. He's another artist with a lapping kit.

(Gonna enlist his help in lapping my faithful Big Typhoon soon.)

Iandroo, I actually don't turn mine at all. I just go back and forth(wet sanding). It took my almost a week to finish my XP-90C...only because most of the day I was working

txtmstrjoe has something interesting to report:

After running for months on 1.36V VCore in the BIOS on my gaming rig, I decided to do some experimentation last night. I dropped the VCore a whole .5V in the BIOS, so now it's set at 1.3125V.

I ran S&M just to see if the rig was still stable at lower VCore.

See attachment please.
