Could you just use the plastic thing it comes in for lapping it? It has the black foam in it to protect the the pins.Nice job on it too ,Let us know how much of drop in temps it brings.:rockout:

thx for the tip dude, i might do it with my 965, but only if i get my hans on another cpu, so if something happends under lapping i still have a cpu haha:roll:

i lapped my AMD CPUs I didn't have any problems at all. I used the foam that came with the CPU(what it ships in) and put that over the pins and tried to keep ahold of the sides of the chip and not the pins. lapped 2 AMDs (5kBE,4850e) and no Intel chips (yet)

Could you just use the plastic thing it comes in for lapping it? It has the black foam in it to protect the the pins.Nice job on it too ,Let us know how much of drop in temps it brings.:rockout:

that didn't work for me as the plastic rubbed the sand paper and kept the chip from touching it... btw i got about 5-7c drop (IIRC)

No doubt, even though I only used mine for less than two weeks. Before I sold my 920, needed those extra bucks.
