with a little oil all those light scratches will be removed,not to say you can't.But oil helps take it that much farther.

hey GriZzlEnLS, Lapping the CPU and Heatsink makes both surfaces as flat as possible for better heat transfer. The mirror shine everyone talks about really helps. Normally when applying the thermal paste,the paste is filling in the areas where both surfaces do not touch correctly. Lapping flattens them both out so you only need a very small amount of thermal paste or TIM to seat the two together. Also all those little scratches are removed when lapping to better help heat transfer. Hope that helped.

I prefer using water over oil (less damaging to the thermal paste between heatspreader and CPU die, if you get it in the vent, and the sandpaper lasts longer) and I have noticed virtually no difference in performance between two very flat, and two slightly convex surfaces. The latter seems to have a lensing effect and spreads the thermal compound more thinly in the center, where the die of the chip is.

Otherwise, I like it.

how could anyone possibly get it in the vent and leave it there? i knew someone couldnt resist overanalyzing lapping

Small C&C... i think your advice on alcohol is BAD... 70% is NOT what you want to be cleaning PC parts with. 70% is an oil based alcohol, and will leave residue on your parts. I never advsie anyone to use anything less then 90% alcohol on PC parts... rest looks like good stuff

I use oil becuase it is non conductive if any where to be left on it. As far as TIM,I only use a half a grain of uncooked rice size when I apply it. Maybe a bit less.

Noted and Added/Fix hadn't noticed I put 70% in there. Thanks and Rep
