and will do a bit of research on mounting. I also have 3 kinds of paste Shin Etsu, OCZ Freeze and AS5. Haven't tried the Shin Etsu before so most likely will give that a run. Any suggestions on mounting or paste please they are all welcome.
Now on to the pic's-

UPDATE November 23, 2008
All right so today is the day to test the Copper TURE (unlapped) some more
Due to time constraints I will only be able to apply 2 I chose “Trusty Ol’AS5†and my favorite “OCZ Freezeâ€. I am very fond to the OCZ as it has a very easy application and on other set-ups; has delivered.
Of course I used my sig rig and the Copper TRUE had push pull using 2xYate loons 120mm. Now on to the tests…
AS5
Ambient temps: 20.83c (-7c outside)

OCZ Freeze

Not too bad but very time consuming. There is definitely a difference between the two thermal pastes. As you can see OCZ seems to have performed better. Well that's it for now but will post more between today & tomorrow.

I finally got around to lapping her (sorry no pics camera was destroyed on Thanksgiving) I was pleasantly surprised at the results,

This was far better that I expected. It's about 5c-6c warmer in the house than when I ran my previous tests. I am curious

to see what the results would be if my Q6600 was lapped. Anyways, thanks to all who have helped me out...
Will update with my last 2 tests of thermal paste and lapped Q6600.

Update of the lapped copper true. I was applying the washer mod + applying the I7 Diamond thermal paste figured I would take a pic of the final product. My camera is not so good (old camera, very old) anyways will be posting the results of the diamond thermal paste after some curing time.

UPDATE December 12, 2007 IC7 Diamond results
Well, I had high hopes for the Diamond IC7 thermal paste. Didn't even come close to expectations. There are many reason why it's not worth the money but I will only list the top disappointments that I have had with it so far.
1. To expensive
2. PITA to apply
3. How long it takes to cure
4. Most of all; poor results in temps. Yes I had to re-seat many times only to find same poor results everytime.
I spent about a week doing all of the above. I researched many applications and found the best results was the 5mm dot in the middle of the CPU. With my TRUE lapped I noticed that it spread nice and even accross the Q6600 so that wasn't an issue. Didn't look to be a lot of air bubbles. Anyways I will not go on on to the results them selves.
As you can see much higher temps than the other. Never again will I but this stuff.
