ok maybe you guys can clear this up for me a bit, i understand exactly what each is and all that stuff but what im interested in is somestuff that i read a couple dyas ago about lapping then polishing to such a fine smoothness that it actually stops helping and starts degrading the temp that youll get
i think one of the threads i saw that had a link to some experiments was on extreme systems but i cant find it again, this link detailed some stuff about how with a slightly rougher surface like 1200 grit instead 2000/2500 would give you better temps due something about the tiny little peaks would crush down a bit and with the thermal paste creat more of a surface area and promote better heat transfer
now i could be off on the grits i am thinking but you should get the idea, anyways any info from any searches you guys have done in the past would be much appreciated, thanks
