Time and patience



Some temps from OCN.net

Quote:

H50 = 59^C Prime95
H50/Lapped CPU = 52^C
Lapped/Modded H50/Lapped CPU = 48^C
Lapped/Modded H50/Lapped CPU @ 3.9GHz/1.52v = 55^C

Let's start!


First you need to remove the plastic cap that covers the WB, unscrew two screws located under the plastic, exactly these:

The WB is very ugly and dirty, used and abused..so I have decided to lap its!


I have started with 500, 800 and then 1000.
Some pics!

Very nice I didn't know that there were actually some people modding all-in-one watercoolers! And it's really amazing how much more efficient the cooling now it. But ... did you change the fan?

Hi and welcome to ocaholic jonnblaze!

Have you been using the high or low rpm versions of the UltraKaze?
