let's change the focus for a bit to P4 procs. Should the P4 heat spreader be lapped? I know I used waaaay too much AS3 on my core, simply because it's hard to get even coverage on such a large surface... I'm going to pull the WB off and use a razor or something to scrape the AS3 off, and whatever remains is OK. I'm thinking that should lower temps sharply.

Where can I buy fine sandpaper. ...finest I can get around here is 600. After that, I have to use jeweler's rouge.

Impressions?
