Also, I'm curious as to why it takes hours? I've never lapped a CPU but I've done my share of sanding and polishing, with wood acrylic and metal, and I can't figure why it would take that long. What am I missing? Are the IHS on a processor made of adamantium?
from what ive read the hours part is due to the excruciatingly slow speed you have to lap at/how lightly you have to press to keep the surface even? also multiple grits have something to do too to make it as smooth as possible... Havnt had to lap a cpu either, but thats my educated guess

When your build a brand new computer, You can't place the side back on the case before powering it up or it won't work.

Leave the side off and it's first turn on works perfectly.

Put the side on and its a 45 minute battle getting it to post.
