| 08.10.2009 21:46 | | | Mm yea. Usually the roughest grit I use is 400. In the CPU-lapping article that I made for Metku.net I used 400/600/1200. I used 180 to get results quickly but it seems that the IHS is veeery bad because it takes so long to make it flat with 180 :/ |
| 08.10.2009 21:34 | | | You should start with rougher grit, say 80 or so, sand it flat, and then use smoother and smoother grits to finish. |
| 08.10.2009 21:05 | | | Intel Core i7 920 @3,8GHz (HT on) 36-39°C idle, Prime95-load 66-69°C. IHS really sucks, I've lapped it for 15-20 minutes with sandpaper (180) but it's still not straight enough.. My hands hurt :| |
| 08.10.2009 20:53 | | | That cooler sure looks interesting. :D How is it performing? |

| 07.10.2009 13:11 | | | i switched back to air aswell and maby selling my watercooling, watercooling for E8500 @ 4,2ghz was bit overkill |
| 07.10.2009 10:08 | | | That's still cool case. Also very clean setup. |
| 06.10.2009 23:46 | | | laurilr: forget it :D P180BJSSWCE is a hedfuk royalé. I have a rad-mount ready now... Still a lot to do. |
| 06.10.2009 22:19 | | | nice and clean |
| 06.10.2009 22:03 | | | Yea that was an opinion (and still is). I've been thinking that I could start a P182+watercooling -procject. |
| 06.10.2009 21:57 | | | Well i ordered LGA1366 mounting plate for apogee from Duniek at XS, it did cost about 9e shipped so not that bad prize :P |
| 06.10.2009 21:53 | | | Well I sold my LGA775-hardware and bought LGA1366-motherboard etc. CPU-block I was using wasn't compatible to LGA1366 and I didn't want to order a new CPU-block yet. |
| 06.10.2009 21:30 | | | what made you change back? I'm curious cause I've never got to watercooling |
