Question nF2 chipset lapping - how far?

I figured out I better ask twice (to be sorry once) before I start.

I have one old DFI LP2 board and it is unstable in the long run (15h of folding and crash)... I noticed how bad the NB chipset contact with cooler on is (almost hole in the middle of the plastic on chipset!) and going to lap it. How far I can go?

I read sometimes as far, as I see the cooper?
True?

(the nF2 chipset has no visible metallic part ATM, DFI NF2 mobo)


Even w/o the lapping it can score fairy high O/C, so I wonder how I can take it with the lapp


edit: find some pics like in this guide: http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.a...=70&pgno=0
But looks like they just flatten out the surface? I would like get most of the temperature-resistant PVC out of way, so, what is why I asking how deep can I go. Till the little holes near corner disappear? Till I see cooper?
