Lapping a Conroe e6600. Would you?

[DecomposingStar]

yes yes... anyways.

Lapping it will have very little effect, unless something is abnormally wrong with the heatspreader.

Also, I would be very surprised if there is anything approaching a reliable way to tell if a CPU has been overclocked.

If the heatspreader is flat to begin with , then you are not going to achieve much. If you do 'Clunks' wee test or put a 'steel ruler ' across your heatspreader then you will get a good idea if you need to lap it or not.
