  3. The Thunderbolt Twitter Chat happened, and here is a summary of important points and I'd say they look good: Yes, internal LCD mode will work! Yes, they will be certifying empty chassis!

  4. Hi everyone, I decided to relap my heatsink as suggested by Khenglish. I used straigt legos for my plane surface, my arms and a LOT of patience. Starting with 60/150 grit : This was ULTRA long to complete this step (nearly 2 hours) and I wasn't totally satisfied with the result since I was able to see very slight deformation due to the pipes when they were pressed... but less than initialy. Look at the quantity of material I lapped ! Then I switched to 240 grit : I spent 10 minutes on this. Then I switched to 600 grit with water : It tooks 10 minutes to complete. Then I switched to 1500 grit : As you can see, depending on the angle, the surface is reflective or not. The second photo is took from an angle where you can observe the remaining imperfection I wasn't able to completely remove (it would take 1 more hour at 60 grit to be perfect). Last finish at 3000 grit : Time to put this baby on the CPU... But first, I need to replace the pad for the PowerFETs I ruined during the lapping session. I used K5 PRO and tried different amount to get contact without tilting : Then I applied the Coolaboratory Liquid Ultra on my previously lapped CPU die... Some splits around but not a problem (it was 0:00 o'clock at this time and I was tired to get too much attention about details) : I did not forget to put a little layer of Liquid Ultra on my heatsink too : And now... the results at stock : 80°C MAX ! We have a winner ! Lost nearly -15°C/-20°C with those operation ! Woooot ! So I tried to OC to 4.2GHz and here are the results (only look at HWinfo64 max column) : 95°C MAX, great too ! This OC was done with no directions on XTU, I just bumped my TDP limits and the multipliers... Do you guys have any advice or links to specific posts for XTU OC ? Anyway, I'm very happy now with my laptop, I thank everyone for their help. Cheers
