| the originals are high resolution scans of the IHS - shows about every detail you want and to set the record straight: picture number 12, bottom right corner, shows the P4 in the same state as it was in the reflection-pic, post 2 on this page |

| high resolution scanners reveil even the smallest scratches on most perfect lapped surfaces people had comments afterwards also about the roughness of the surface, while IRL it's really flat http://www.madshrimps.be/forums/show...2753#post42753

| I don't need a scanner to see that my SLK947U's base sucks, it realy need to be lapped . And a mirror doesn't mean a good contact. I have here an old Duron Alu heatsink wich I tried to lap (didn't realy worked ). If u look from the top, it's blurry, scratched and has different colours. At a very sharp angle, it's like a mirror, but it is concave :grum: -> bad CPU contact. |

| I lapped every heatsink I use after testing was done. Another point from industry experience in metal and paraffin wax; any transformation from liquid to solid will creates craddle during cooling process which can be left at ambient temp to cool or accelerate cooling process by blowing air across; or going thru refrigerated tunnel. Whichever method you take the surface of the metal would become convex. This could be corrected today using highly accurate temp control measurement to melt metal to just a few degrees above it's melting point. Cutting generates heat also; unless expansive equipment is used. (I don't believe the factories in China is using no heat cutting equipment). The secondary machining to make the surface flat and smooth is very costly. Don't expect to pay $10 to $30 and get a perfectly flat and smooth heatsink. Vibratory finish will get better result; again cost more. Lapping your heatsink will almost always yield better result if done correctly.

| Well we are back with some non conclusive results for the lapping kit our friend insulglass send us. TerAngreal lapped his P4 as you can see in the pics above; after a couple of weeks of temp monitoring before/after no real difference was seen. but as insulglass mentioned, the biggest impact will be on medium/poorly lapped heatsinks; I have the kit now and will do some lapdancing soon with some of heatsinks I have lying around.

| what did you use to get it so nice and shiny? cuz I've read articles where they go up too 2500 grid (I think, not sure about the number but it was more then 1200 grid) and then they use some pollish and a linnen cloth but never did I see one that had such a mirror finish before. |
