Lapping Tool for Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPUs

This CNC-milled acrylic glass tool simplifies the process of lapping the integrated heat spreader on compatible Intel processors. It supports 13th and 14th Generation Core CPUs and is also compatible with 12th Generation models. The kit includes the mounting hardware and sandpaper needed to perform the modification.

Manual Sanding Process and Warranty Impact

The tool uses ridges on the acrylic surface as a depth gauge for removing exactly 0.2 millimetres of material from the heat spreader. Sanding is performed manually using the included grit 400, 1200 and 2500 papers until the ridges disappear. Grinding the CPU will invalidate the manufacturer warranty on the processor.

Single-Use Tool for LGA 1700 Socket

The lapping tool is designed for single use and fits the LGA 1700 socket interface used by the supported Intel generations. Buyers who need a reusable fixture or who want to lap processors on different socket types cannot use this product.

Questions about this item

How do I install the CPU into the TG-LT-i13G lapping tool?

Place the LGA 1700 processor onto the CNC-milled acrylic glass base and secure it using the enclosed screws. The clear ridges around the socket sit .2 millimetres high; stop sanding once those ridges are completely removed.

What maintenance or replacement will the lapping tool need later?

The manufacturer recommends single use only. After one lapping session the acrylic guide ridges are gone, so the tool cannot guarantee the .2 millimetre limit again. Replace the entire tool if you need to lap another CPU.

What limit appears first during sustained sanding with the included 400, 1200 and 2500 grit papers?

The .2 millimetre ridge height is the hard stop. Once the acrylic ridges vanish you have reached the maximum safe material removal for 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Intel CPUs.
