After dismantling my water loop and deciding to go back to air cooling (only until I build my next rig, then back to H2o), I bought myself a true black 120.

Using the razor blade to gauge the flatness of the base, it was not as bad as I was expecting.

I started with a low grit of 280, just to get the nickel off. Then I went to 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, and finally 2000.

It took around four hours from start to finish and I am relatively pleased. There are a few visible scratches, which don't show in the pictures and I might buy a finer grit just to finish up. The main thing is that it is flat. I will see how it performs when I get a chance to mount it next week, then I may also lap my Q6600.
Thanks for looking.

Wow, very nicely done. The corners shouldn't matter much seeing as processors have rounded corners. Two thumbs up!

Excellent work there my friend!

Thank you.

I want a decent fan to pair with my new heatsink, at the moment I am considering an S-Flex, but a 38mm would be better as I am looking for high static pressure. I am not interested in the ultra kaze's.
Anyone in the UK know of a supplier of panaflo, or san ace fans? Only because I have heard good things from members on OCN regarding these fans.

I have a few medium/high speed yate loons left over from my watercooling setup, are these a better alternative to the S-Flex?

I'm using the S-Flex and I'm very pleased. I have no experience with the Yate Loons because they don't sell those over here.
