I've heard of people returning overclocked chips that blew and no one said anything, so either it is just talk, or they aren't too strict about it *shrug*

I tip my imaginery hat to you, dude, lapping a Q6600 really requires some stones, and you seem to have 'em by the truckload!:D I wouldn't dare dream of doing that to mine, let alone actually doing it.:o
@mikeysg - it's actually pretty easy to do, dude. Have you lapped your Ultra-120 Ex? If not, give it a try. Once you see how easy it really is to do, the Q6600 is about 10x easier than the HS.
I think it's not so much the difficulty - anyone can rub something on sandpaper - but being scared of going too far, breaking pins, etc.
there are no pins to break. ;)
Yeah, forgot about that on the new ones. Still...I don't think I'd ever be comfortable sanding a processor.
It's your choice obviously. I'm just saying, it's no big deal.
My 120 Extreme has been lapped, but I'm leery of doing the same to my Q6600. Also, when it comes time to upgrade to a Penryn, I can still sell this relatively easy enough since it's been untouched. I'm afraid trying to sell one that has been lapped would be rather difficult.Quote:
