Hello,
I have a new D-tek Fuzion that I want to install. I've always lapped my blocks and placed them on a bare core (removed IHS), but now I have a Q6600. If I've read up correctly, the IHS can't practically be removed on these chips. Bare cores are almost always flat, but IHS's are often concave. As a result, the new Fuzion blocks are factory bowed, correct?
I want to get the best heat transfer possible, so I thought the most logical thing to do would be to lap both my Fuzion (while assembled) and the Q6600. Am I wrong here? I'm not as up to date with modern equipment, so I want to ask before I brick something.
Also, I have a MCW60 for my GPU. Are these blocked bowed at the factory now as well (I don't see why they would do this for bare cores, but wonders never cease). I was thinking of lapping this as well.
Thanks in advance!
