I just bought an AMD X2 +3800 and running it currently at 2500 MHz at 1.300V (default is 1.350V). I am using an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro. It never crossed my mind I should lap it. But I probably will.
With my old AMD stock cooler which I lapped for my Opteron 144, I actually managed to rip out my CPU twice. Thankfully no pins were bend or broken.
I used a similar technique as stated in the guide, the only difference I made was that I used circular motion. It came out real shiny.
I am wondering if I should even lap the IHS of my CPU, because it doesn't look flat:
But I will lap away the AMD markings with serial number 
Any suggestions?
Regards, Partizan
