This video explains the process by which I created the flattest CPU in the world, bringing a Ryzen 3950x to within 0.3 microns of flatness error, two orders of magnitude more accurate than what is possible with sandpaper.
The impact on cooling performance from lapping a CPU this flat will be investigated by an independent computer hardware reviewer and those results will be linked here when available.
Many thanks to Tom Lipton for the inspiration and advice he provided. If precision machining is something that interests you, check him out: • Precision Lapping 101
For an in depth look at the history of precision, I recommend watching Machine Thinking: • Origins of Precision
The music used is Quirky Bones by Borislav Slalov
• Divinity Original Sin ...
