I saw someone else do this...and you. Nice job!

Lapped X3220 (Q6600) to the core
Well I lapped my X3220 all the way to the cores. Took more time then I care to admit wasting on the project. It was a B3 and I figured if this was gonna help out a cpu temp wise a B3 would be the one that needed the help.
Well temps idle before at 1.4vcore and temps after this mod exactly the same. Not a change at all. 32/32/28/27 (roughly average). Load prime 60/60/58/58. This is with my water cooling system.
I reseated it several times and tried it with both arctic silver 5 and then ICD. The ICD was maybe a 1c more across the board.
Ahh well, was worth a try. Dont know maybe I put too much thermal paste on each time, maybe not.
You guys that have done this before you gotten any better results with different thickness of thermal paste.

only dangerous if you apply too much pressure. The IHS was made to protect the cores and spread the heat. but without it the cores are revealed and if you apply too much pressure from a heatsink you could possibly kill a perfectly good CPU

You mean the ihs? The heatsink is removable and people use TIM for that.

Yes, the IHS
