Well the parts arrive today; I plan on cutting holes and painting my case tonight/tomorrow and building it late Sat/Sunday. One question I have - right now I've got the Scythe Katana 2 that I figure will suffice for about 3.0ghz on this Q6600 GO - I'll probably buy a 120 later on.

My question is about lapping, i'm fairly confident in doing it to my Heatsink base.. I'm nervous as shit to do it for my Q6600. I did get the chip for free but I'd rather not **** it up anyways :P

Do you guys think I should bother lapping both, or one of these parts at all? This is my first serious OC; I've dabbled in it but nothing more than presets on ASUS boards etc..

Thanks again! I'll post some pics in the WIP forums once I get going and everything arrives (talked to purolator, they'll be here in an hour!!!) Weeee
