Overclockin'.com heeft een artikel op het net gemikt over het 'lappen' van je processor. Wat hiermee bedoeld wordt is het wegschuren van de bovenlaag van de CPU behuizing waardoor het oppervlak vlakker wordt en de warmte geleiding wordt verbeterd. Lees hier al de info.
There are a couple of reasons why one might get something out of slug sanding. First of all, we're taking off a layer or two of material from between the hot silicon inside the chip, and the heatsink that will dissipate that heat. Second of all, the fewer types of metal involved in the heat transfer, the more efficient the heat transfer. The silicon in the chip transfers its heat to a copper casing, the copper casing transfers the heat to a coating of (I believe) nickel, and then the heat is transferred to your heatsink (probably aluminum). Slug sanding takes out one of those transfers, because we're sanding off the nickel. Thirdly, the flatter you can get the chip against the heatsink, the more evenly and faster you can transfer the heat (you may think of sanding the bottom of your heatsink in basically the same way we'll show you to sand you're processor).
