Is it worth the effort...

no idea chai...since 225 is average for nf7-s...
so maybe no improvement at all..or maybe some small improvement..
unfortunately I didn't have enough time to fully test the board as I killed it few days after I wet sanded it..I pulled out the mosfet

I'm now running at 230MHz at 1.7V.

Intel users, get lost!

it would have been very interesting to see the achieved difference in temperatures between the stock\lapped northbridge (with same heatsink\cooler), it would provide a clearer view of the benefits that can be gained through this mod (if any)
