After 800 grit

After 1200 grit

After 1500 grit

If I had some 2000 grit paper handy, then I could've gotten a better finish. But it's flat as can be now, which is what matters anyway.

Check how the TIM was spreading before I lapped it.

Just some pics of the mess

I also switched to using the LGA775 mounting holes as an experiment to see whether it would give me better pressure than the LGA1366 holes.

And now for temps!

Before: 52-56c idle, 80-85c load
Now: 44-50c idle, 74-77c load

If those seem high to you, it's because my ambients never go below 30c where I live. But that's good enough for me considering where I was before.

Hi everyone. I got the h50, and have gotten good temps at stock clock for i7 860, 20c idle and 45c @100% load prime95. Using arctic silver 5. Running stock fan and pump at full speed, connected straight to the power supply. I was wondering if my temps will get significantly lower if i choose to do a push/pull configuration with gentle typhoons 1850 rpm model at full speed? 5-10 degrees? i saw that there are higher rpm models now but i don't want very loud fans at full speed. thanks

From the moment I checked the base with a metal ruler and began lapping, it was pretty obvious the base was pretty concave. If I would stick the CPU to the base manually, the suction was pretty good. However once mounted on the mobo, it's like they barely stuck to each other at all.

I also switched to using the LGA775 mounting holes as an experiment to see whether it would give me better pressure than the LGA1366 holes.

This is using the True backplate?

I'm afraid using the LGA775 TRUE backplate just won't work for LGA1366, since the retention bracket's own backplate conflicts with it.

Still on the stock H50 plastic piece of crap, until I get myself one of those Crossbows.

Impressive lapping. Makes me wanna lap my old H50 and test it on another pc but i need to order a Mini Pc Boot speaker. Some ram too. I do have another processor but it's a E2180 and a duo. I bet i can overclock it like a champ since they are champions at overclocking lol. Old processor though.
