dling Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 I lapped my new CM V10 cpu hs. I have not built my system yet, but a thought occurred me that maybe I should not have done it. Did I ruin my new HS ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AIinc Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Don't know? Why do you ask? If you lapped them properly, there should be no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dling Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Don't know? Why do you ask? If you lapped them properly, there should be no problem. Because its an active cooler not a passive one. It uses tec ( thermal electric cooling ) technology and I can now see cooper in the base of the heat sink.

AIinc Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 It's fine. Your bottom plate is the copper heatsink plate, next up is the tec plate, then another copper plate. It's a tec sandwich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

supergeek101 Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 You're fine as long as the COPPER doesn't start wearing away and you start seeing exposed white ceramic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AIinc Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Thats ok....I quit pickle's a while ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedghawg71 Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 As long as you lap your processor (after you test it) there should be no problems. The TEC now has less surface area to cool off. :thumbs-up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Hence it should react to the thermal load quicker! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
