Lapping Q6600.

Handheld electric sander with a piece of glass on the bottom, then sandpaper. Put the sander into a press and go to town. Actually worked out pretty well.

But that thing might eat up like 1mm in like 2sec.:eek:
 
Depends on how much pressure you use when brining the heatsink to the sander.
 
awesome, will be using this tut to do mine as well. Might be a noobish question, you think lapping the other heatsinks on the mobo would help with temps?
 
You can always pull up the chipset heatsinks, scrap off the thermal adhesive, and then just apply thermal paste.
 
Lapped my Q6600, the IHS was totally concave. It took about 2.5 hours with 220 grit to get it flat. Then I applied the thermal compound wrong (instructions on a pdf file were not helpful right then) when I put it back together and still got a 6C temp drop.
