Ok... so I lapped my Noctua and my TT and though I will need to re-do the TT, possibly the Noctua I was still expecting lower temps, especially on the CPU.
There was a bit of dust clogging the TT from the inside so I thought that might offset the lack of bake in on my AS5 but temps went up considerably.
My chip is OC'ed as in my sig and I was getting a 40-43C idle, now I am getting 45-46C...
Also, I know that the first temp in SpeedFan is not really the NB... but that went way up...
Below is a few minutes of Orthos speed fan.
Finally... can someone give me a detailed guide for a perfect mirror lapping job? I used 600 and then 1500 which I wet with water... and though I noticed that there was a big depression in the center of my TT which I was able to get rid of I still want to get a shinier final result. I am getting a Q6600 in August so I will have the chance to re-lap... so I want to be ready cause that sucker will be hotter.
PS: Anyone know where to get one of those square foan rings for my Noctua in case if tears when I remove it to re-lap?
