Default Re: CPU and Heatsink Lapping Question

NAPA has up to 2000 grit if you hit one of their paint depots....but IMO once you get that high in the grit it doesn't make a significant enough different that the average OCer would be able to take advantage of.

Just buy some 400 grit wet/dry, and use a picture frame glass. It doesnt need to be mirrored, just flat
