Neither did I.

However, I just replace my water block, and there was some residus of Artic Silver that I could not take of the core. A little laping on 1500 sand paper took care of it.

Being scared? I have done a few mods, on the mobo Vcore regulation particularly, that scared me more that lapping the CPU core. My thought before restarting the computer was not "will it run faster?" but simply "will it run?". It always did, as for today.

My HIP6021 Vcore regulator has now 4 pins desoldered and lifted from the PCB (the VID pins). I still can't drive dynamically these pins as I would like too, but I'm working on it.

Scary, but fun.
