ccokeman, Whats the best way to tell how falt a cpu is? I know you can pull of a straight edge or razor blade trick. Or should I screw the Complex methods and just look at my tim? the only reason I ask is I am in the progress of Oc'ing my phenom 940 I got yesterday and was curious cause I do not have much more temperature headroom left over. Wide open I am at 55 C t most in a 75 degree room. or is it time for water cooling.

I did the washer before lapping and got -1 degre,but i think it's even more important after lapping to keep enough pressure since you shave the base of the heatsink.I only ad one washer and it was enough.

I use a straight edge and the tim application.
