Woohoo. Lol. I just got my system back together after removing the heatsink and lapping, and reapplying a thinner layer of asII. 43C with ambient of 25C now sittin in bios

Yay! Lol. Hotter day, about a 10C degree drop. Woohoo! And Gig7dxr from what I was reading over on gigabytes board at amdmb seems to read higher temps then other boards. ppl talking about coming from asus boards to giga 'boards the giga boards read, it seems, 10 degrees celius higher then asus boards

So I'm happy

Now just gotta wait for that os. Lol. O boy lapping that cak38 was a pain though. Must have been molded. Was quite concave. Center must have shrunk in during cooling. I went through 13 sheets of 600 grit sandpaper before I even had it totaly flat on the bottom. Was a job. But now it's a mirror fine surface, and reflects like a mirror too

Am happy. Now just for that os. Lol.
Thanks to all here
