go for HR cause can mount 120mm fan + got air duct mod where u can exhaust the heat diretly to ur rear fan (if got 2 rear fan la like 3D Aurora)... rclxms.gif

ultra-90 u needs 90mm fan, which is kinda hard to find & restricted to limited brands, u know what i mean if u using bling2 fan like CM, Vizo , Vantec & .....

Agreed, HR-01 would be a better choice compared to Ultra 90 as HR-01 is using a 120MM fan which is easier to find rather than finding a 92MM fan... smile.gif

ya lo, wonder why won't they make the 90mm fan a lot??? so hard to find at LYP cry.gif all the time want to buy fans always 80mm & 120mm, rarely seen 92mm fan on the shelf, only the vantec tornado is easy to find vmad.gif

hate it when want to buy a 90mm fan for my xp-90c, just have to look for 80mm fan hands.gif

Hmm.. im not quite sure what you are saying. Let me see, after rubbing it the first time, then turn the heatsink 90 degree and rub it. After that turn it another 90 degree which makes it a 180 degree turn and eventually a 360 degree?

No, this is what he means:

First, lapped it to the north, then go to the west, then go to the north again, then go to the west again, and so it continues like that until you've satisfied with you're lapping job. thumbup.gif

Do it times & times again... smile.gif

I hope that explains... wink.gif

Hmmm.. Ok when im lapping it to the north, i move the heatsink up and downwords on the heatsink. After im done with it, i turn it to the west and start moving left and right?

Yes, that's what i'm trying to explain earlier...
Glad that you've understand the north west explanation even it sound funny... laugh.gif

I just lapped an IHS of a Pentium D 820 just 1 hour ago, love it when i could see the copper IHS!!! wub.gif

But not mirror shine though, as i just use - 600 - 800 - 1000 - 1500
Malas to buy a 2000Grit sandpaper...

I did the lapping in non water condition lapping, scared if it would spoil the processor if i use water... sweat.gif

Now, i'm going to lap my Pentium D 930, hope to see some nice temps improvement... wub.gif

Saja saje je, takleh ke bang ejai? laugh.gif

No lah, this is why i lapped my processor:
I've lapped the Pentium D 820, the Pentium D 930 isn't lapped yet...
I lapped the 820 because it's known as the famous heat maker... shakehead.gif

I'm not sure either i will lap my 930, but if it's going to reduce 3 - 4 degrees, why not? brows.gif

Take note that 3 - 4 degrees is not something that you should take lightly... laugh.gif

Guys, i tried this on my spare waterblock n got a good result. flat base...Mirror finish. One thing comes into my concern, how about oxidation? has anyone have any solution to prevent it from happening? ( another lapping each time it oxidate seems to be troublesome )everyone from xtremsystems seems to recommend isopropyl alcohol or any 90%++ concerntrated alcohol as a layer, but do these products  available for the public here?

Lol...
U don't have to lap the base of you're waterblock everytime it oxidizes... laugh.gif

There's a cheaper and faster way to get rid of those oxidation layer... thumbup.gif

Find any tomato sauce, and put some amount of it on the base of you're oxidized waterblock @ heatsink, then rub it off with some tissue... thumbup.gif

U'll find this ridiculous, but once u've tried it, u'll believe it... icon_rolleyes.gif
