| Re: ultra 120 extreme Lapping is the process of making a surface flatter, I think....because from the factory manufacturing of these heatsinks, sometimes the base isn't so flat, but like concave or convex. Lapping will also improve the contact between the processor and heatsink, as the grooves on the base are smoothed out, by the lapping process. |

| Re: ultra 120 extreme Lapping is not for the faint hearted... What's wrong with lapping? Is it the amount of work involved? IMO, lapping will get better contact, and better temperatures, than adding more paste. |

| Re: ultra 120 extreme I just got my Ultra 120 Extreme in the mail yesterday. The surface was really flat, machine marks were present - but they werent any "worse" than my Zalman CNPS 9500. I should have brought it to work to put on a granite table to really see how flat it was. Either way, the surface quality was reasonably good. I've lapped heatsinks before and its just not worth the time for that degree or two shaved by minimizing the contact resistance. |
