  • Working with KINGPIN at EVGA to perfectly sand a CPU IHS. Mostly, anyway. We basically just talk with KP and TiN while holding a CPU on a sander.
    Ad: Buy Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut on Amazon (geni.us/gntgkryo) or Conductonaut Liquid Metal on Amazon (geni.us/gntgconductonaut)
    This video follows our previous lab tour with KINGPIN and TiN, which you should absolutely watch over here: • KINGPIN Overclocking L...
    Using an automated sander helps ensure a smoother finish on our Intel i9-9980XE. We have test data from before sanding the IHS down, and plan to look at before vs. after CPU lapping to see the thermal improvement on our cores.

      I remember pre sanding sample mounts by hand and drawing blood not realizing it.
      Auto polisher is what ya need , look up struers polishing machine. Polishing samples for inspection in SEM you typically go down to 3 um at least then if you are taking photos for a report I’d do 1um then maybe a 300nm and a special polish that’s chemical reaction more than a a grit. You can get locally flat to a few 10s of nm. That flat you shouldn’t need any sort of paste if you make sure to keep the surface clean.

    I am a lab manager for a petrographic thin section lab which requires a lot of lapidary knowledge. The rounding you see on the outside is from the rotation of the cpu on the grinding surface. Two things you can do to improve the planeness of the cpu is to 1. hold it as low as possible to limit rotational forces and 2. don't hold the cpu in one spot on the grinding surface. What I saw in the video will guarantee an uneven grind just the mechanical fact that the outside of the grinding disc spins faster than the center. The most advisable motion to perform is a figure 8 motion. This will prevent you from grinding too long in one spot and also wear the grit paper down evenly.

      I can't say I've ever lapped a cpu or heasink but I do lapping and polishing in machining, I'd say if you want to do this at home get some glass or a mirror big enough to lay a full sheet of wet&dry paper get the paper soaking wet then lay it on your glass and the water should keep it in place for what you're doing...if it moves around a lot you're likely using way too much pressure, just go in a nice wide figure 8 barely pressing on it at all.
      It should take a long time so pick a weekend or a day where you don't have to do anything else and for the love of god take your time, work up the grits with pleanty of water you can't really use too much water and don't get impatient or skip grits.

      I know it's just a joke... But I have to reply, just in case anyone is actually stupid enough to take it seriously (Particularly since it's a top comment)... Potters wheels while they look similar are not the same as metallographic polishers, they have far lower tolerances, and of course any method of attaching sandpaper to them would have to be DIY... When polishing a IHS or CPU Die there's a reason you do it on glass or a mirror when doing so manually, and it's because both glass and mirrors in order to show no optical distortion have to have high tolerances, that is extremely relatively flat.
      Potter wheels don't have this requirement, and so you will not get an even grind out of one if you DIY it, and are likely to damage your CPU. The reason metallographic polishers are so expensive is they have the same tolerances as a Whitworth Surface Plate, or just a Surface Plate I guess, although I like giving credit where credit is due. The point is, what seems to be 'roughly' the same design, is actually a massive difference in engineering precision, and you need that precision when screwing around with trying to make a 'perfectly flat surface.'
      Again, the original poster was no doubt just joking, this isn't a reply to him, just a comment for anyone who didn't get the joke to spare them some agony..

    • @andrewculverhouse8914
      @andrewculverhouse8914 Před 5 lety +28

      @@dragoonsunite oh god I hope no one is that stupid... But from conversations I've had on other video threads it wouldn't surprise me.
      The tolerances would have to be the same as a surface plate (go watch "This old Tony" or "Abom79" they use them to check tolerances pretty frequently anyone who has never seen one used). But the bearings that allow the plate to turn would be precision too similar to a lathes bearings which are very expensive £400 each for the one I'm rebuilding.
      So yes it was a joke, if you want to do anything like this at home use a mirror or buy a surface plate and do it by hand. (I am however now slightly interested how close to flat you could get one of these in a lathe with the right setup... I wonder if Tony would do my 7700k for me as I don't care about it). And anyone else thinking it, I was surprised they didn't use a surface grinder too, seems like that was made for this job...

It may be that I'm a bit biased and I don't want to say anything negative, only in view of the possibilities GPus to cherrypick cards and then burn as much of them as necessary (I just assume) it only seems logical to me that 1. Rank scores must be produced in 3D Mark. I mean in this world there is never equal opportunities in a competition. Gaining an advantage in validation is part of every competition. Some have resources and internal information that would have to create even greater superiority in some hands, otherwise I wouldn't say anything.

    So i just did this by hand thinking it was an easy way to lose a couple of degrees. Used a pane of glass to ensure I had a flat surface and went from 80 grit to 120 grit to 200 grit etc all the way to 2000 grit and achieved a mirror like copper finish. Only thing is it took me 5 hours!
    I did this on a Xeon X5675 that i bought off Ebay. The heat spreader is soldered so no delid. This heat spreader had 2 giant dents which I saw when sanding. I spent most of my time sanding with lower grits and finally achieved a flat surface. If I had to do it again I would buy 45 grit to speed things up. Once you have a flat surface you spend 5 min at each grit to get mirror finish. Also lapped air cooler (Corsair A70) worried about blasting though a heatpipe . Took less than 30 min to level the cooler.
    Conclusion : Do it, few degrees here few degrees there really add up. Oc'ed the X5675 to 4.35ghz for AZ summer, winter run daily 4.5ghz. Temp usually in 70s when stress testing. I imagine I saved 3-6 degrees total.

    I've done lots of metal polishing on lapping machines for material science research. Part of the challenge is applying even pressure. It's very easy to apply slightly more pressure on one side which would lead to an uneven surface. Nonetheless an interesting video! May have to try this at work.

    I have never ever seen this process before! Recently, my eight year old motherboard failed. I had an Intel i7-CPU that I saw was looking oval? Putting a steel ruler across it, it was clearly bulged high at the center. Not good for matching with a cooler! I took engine lapping compound and manual circular motions with constant repetitive turning at 45 degree turns to keep a flat surface. I saw an even and flat reduction until completely flat!
    You do not need to remove all of the Nickle coating! As long as you remove all the high spots and have a 4 point (all corners) contact showing a clean clear flat surface, that is then a flat surface! Check it at all points >>>> across midpoints between each corner and then at corner to corner with the steel ruler. No light seen under the ruler? Then it's flat and ready to mate with the cooler!!!! Patience and common sense. No need for this fancy machine!

      Die lapping and heatspreader lapping was a huge thing back when Pentium IV was released. People came up with all kinds of rigs, but the best results can be achieved by using the same tools and following the same rules that people use for knife sharpening.
      What you need are high quality grinding stones, a stone holder, a diamond stone flattener and the skills to rock the CPU back and forth without wiggling it.

    • @certaindeath7776

      You can go really far then that, get IHS made of silver, polish it to a mirror, balance height of every edge. But direct die contact (copper tubes directly on CPU die) still be effective since layers between CPU and cooler tubes are eliminated.

    Could be cool to see both IHS and cooler lapped to a point where you could ring them together, would still need paste and prob yield no benefits, but hey, you could always use it as a showpiece, floating heatsink sticking to a CPU without glue or screws.

There is some kind of special thick dye that is used in precision lapping of heads, blocks, intake and exhaust manifolds that you can use to judge how flat it really is down to micro-millimeter resolution. Lapping times were judged by the length of a baseball or football game on the TV in the workshop "How long did that one take you?" " Oh about 8 innings" .... "OK we'll use 220 for the 1st quarter and swap to 400 for the 2nd quarter, take a break for halftime and go to 800 for the 3rd ..."
