Lapping a TRUE

[nOcLuE98]

I believe only the extreme edition CPU's are covered under warranty if they're OC'd.

so that is what the extra 700 bucks buys.. ahh I see

FYI, if you have overclocked, you already voided the warranty

true, but can they actually tell if it's been OC'd? That being said, I think it's time to go for it....:freak:

Youtube has video's on it. Specifically for the TRUE

Good video. I never thought of holding it like that, I always held it from the top.. that'll distribute the weight much better..

I decided I'll show you guys how bad the temps are... this is on load with Prime95 - take note of the horrendous VID and stepping, I don't think the load temps are *that* bad, it's just a matter of how uneven they are...

They can tell if it has been overclocked or to many volts have been pushed into it. Seriously, it does leave burn lines and such in it, and it can and will show abnormal wear in some places.

lol Thats not so bad ish. my B3 prime temps were 58-68c with stock intel. chop off 15c for transition to true and we're about the same. Thats a nice size gap. mine's 6 degrees ._. I don't feel like lapping my cpu though >.>

I'll see if I can get it lapped tonight, I'll start with really low grits first to really get that convex shape out, like mgcook suggested, I think I have 250 somewhere in my garage and I'll pick up another set of 400s or maybe even 600s if I can find em

how would they find out if you overclocked it?

how would they find out if you overclocked it?

I've wondered that myself...
