Check out this site where it’ll show you a cool trick that actually TRIPLES your PC’s performance!
The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
This video will show you how I determine if lapping a CPU is needed. Not all CPUs and Coolers need to be lapped. Even after determining whether you need to lap your CPU, you should first install the CPU to make sure it is not a dud and run several temp tests to verify your CPU temperature. This will give you a base temp to start with, so if you do lap your CPU, you will know if your CPU temps have improved. Even if you feel the need to lap your CPU, it is possible that the temps you are realizing are acceptable, meaning lapping may not be required. This will save you a lot of time and effort and not void any warranty that you may still have. *******************BLACK WIDOW****************** Thermaltake ArmorPlus Case (modded) ============================= Ultra X3 1000W Modular PSU ============================= ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 SLI Motherboard ============================= Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem (Overclocked) ============================= (2) eVGA GTX285 Super Clocked Edition (SLI) ============================= Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler ============================= Corsair Dominator TR3 1866Mhz 6 GB ============================= LG Blu-Ray Disc Burner ============================= (2) Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB (Raid)(OS) ============================== Segate Barracuda 1.5 TB Sata HD (Storage) ============================== Data Robotics Drobo w Drobo Share 6TB (Backup) ============================== Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Champion Series <b>…<b>
@audiofanaticz Thanks bro, yeah HD is the only way to go…and even if you don’t watch it in 720 or 1080 it makes 480 look better than if it was shot in 480…take a look at some of my first vids,,,,std def…yuk!
very great video, learned a lot of things that I have been wondering!!
Also I enjoy that all your videos are in HD
Thanks again!!!
@MJBDC7 600, 800, 1000, 1500, and if you can find 2000
you can also skip the 600 grit
@WestCoastMods what sandpaper grit do you use?
@airforcesuk lol
Lapping = boring sunday and sore arm
@allofyourdreams Some do…if I was going to lap my cpu…then I most likely going to lap the cooler heatsink. It really wouldn’t serve much purpose to have one surface completely flat if the other isn’t.
@WestCoastMods does anyone actually check and lap the fan cooler radiators?
why company doesnt make sure that every cpu is perfectly straight?
@kann1alles Broken link even when I substitute a dot for– can you send me a PM with the link
Thanks

@kann1alles I would agree, but I have no idea what you’re talking about……I know the mobo is a foxcon..but what else are you trying to say?
@WestCoastMods i dissagre with that you dont want to overuse your 3cent foxcon
socket on 300,- usd mobo
@sh4rkbyt3 I agree totally….but some think they need to lap automatically their CPU, just because they saw someone else do it. I am a strong believer that one should run it without lapping first to see what temps they are achieving and also to have a base temp to compare to after lapping. This vid was because I was seeing a lot of ppl buying new CPU’s..sometimes costing as much as a $1000 and lapping it right from the box…not evening knowing what the temps were to begin with.
@WestCoastMods Not a complete waste of time. If you know and understand anything about engineering, contact surface to contact surface allows for the fastest and best thermal conductivity (heat transfer). The ‘medium’ we use to allow for surface imperfections is thermal paste which is about as good an alternative as we have today. Lapping removes the imperfections for best and fastest conductivity of heat transfer!
@alancheese And never spell like yiu do.
@strongmanwiththevan I agree to a certain extent, that why I made this video…but the best conductor of heat is a metal to metal contact, the thermal compound need to be used for micro imperfections in the milling process. even after lapping there are imperfections, may take a microscope to see them but they are there.
I don’t get it. so what is the meanining of the thermal paste? It supposed to fill all gaps between cpu and heatsink, and make great contact for heat transfer. In my opinion it’s a waste of time and warranty.
@SerzantasLTU I don’t know where you get your info at…..but heat is transferred through contact and if it is not making 100% contact then you are not dissipating the heat as well as you could.
Lets see you not put thermal paste on a cpu and see what happens. Thermal compound helps fill the voids so heat can transfer from the CPU through the compound (where’s there no metal to metal contact) and to the cooler.
ofcourse its not flat it doesent need to be flat,matter of fack u dont need thermal paste on all cpu,u need for just midle and around it , like u dont need on the edges.Because underneeth that metal cpu is same way like the gup it just cpu has this metal on top!Same like those really old ones like pentiu 4
,so i guess if u would take that metal off u would get better temp.u can try ;D
@WestCoastMods I would if I had one, the only real concern I have is I don’t have non-conductive parallel plates to set it on in the vice. I have stainless ones, but that makes me nervous. And there really isn’t a way to ‘line’ them to be non-conductive because in machining you can’t just set a piece of paper down, when dealing with thousandths and smaller even paper becomes woefully inconsistent
@ghostynoises Try it on a older CPU first and see how it works, if I had access to a milling machine, thats what I would do.
@WestCoastMods Haha, I actually DO have a milling machine, however, I just don’t know how I feel about putting my cpu into a vise and milling it at 2200 rpm even if it’s .001 at a time XD
