QUOTE(cablesguy @ Mar 13 2007, 01:35 AM) Heres some pix of my tuniq before and after lapping After  Temps: Before lapping: 40'c, 1 day after installing, actually same temps as BTVX, but BTVX running faster @ 1780rpm +-, 120mm Vizo UV Led Fan After lapping: 36'c, this is immediately after installing Fan: tuniq stock fan @ 1260rpm +- TIM: Arctic Silver 5, Arctic Ceramique on heatpipes/base Temp Monitor: Coretemp Fan Monitor: Asus Probe II Another reason for the better temps could also be acounted to the fact that second time round, i mounted the tuniq better. Not shiny enuf dude. Rub a dub dub sumore. Take off the Tuniq n keep rubbing! can c from ure pix, lotsa lines n haziness on it. Rub n rub n rub n rub n rub until like this.

QUOTE(tachlio @ Mar 13 2007, 09:49 PM) That thing could do with some decent lapping. Thermaltake is well know for being lazy about their heatsink base. |

Try using a smaller block of glass that will only fit the copper area and not touching the 4 legs holding the pins.  |

Quite hard to get aluminium to a mirror finish (or rather, making sure it lasts-aluminium oxidises too damn fast) |
