CPU IHS Lapping Guide

Thu 2009-10-08 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

Bjorn3D have posted an article in which they demonstrate how to properly lap the integrated heatspreader (IHS) on a processor.

Here's what they had to say:

"Lapping the IHS is not as painful, or all that dangerous. Lapping the IHS on the Core i5 750 CPU took me roughly 20 minutes to complete. The time it will take may vary depending on how bad the IHS is, and how polished you want the IHS. If the proper procedures are taken this can be done quick fast and in a hurry.

Once again there is no more that mind set of, "It has to be done this WAY". No matter on the way you do use, if it works for you then you do it that way. Just remember to K.I.S.S ( Keep It Stupid Simple, or Keep It Simple Stupid depending on how you want too look at it.)"

If you need an introductory guide to lapping then definitely give this piece a quick look.
