QUOTE(bombman @ Mar 8 2007, 01:51 AM) By usin' polish, u might b introducing impurities onto the HS surface. This may affect the heat transfer capabilities negatively yep, metal polish= Big no no.it's just for cosmetic purpose, it will degrade the heat transfer capability. mirror shine looks cool and all, but the only one that can see it it's the proc  if you really nead to acheive morror shine, do it without the use of polishing compound. |

QUOTE(rainingzero @ Apr 7 2008, 06:41 PM) using sand paper much more effective to get flat and nice surface...the importance of lapping here is to get the most flatness u can achieved... i guess if ur cooler's surface was flat to begin with, the difference wont be much....2-3c is not too bad.yeah, the mirror shining come in handy to satisfied our hard work...  lapped few of my cooler using sandpaper grit 400, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, and 2000. the result impressive. but the temp just decreased for around 2-3'c...  edit:typo This post has been edited by seanl: Apr 15 2008, 02:38 PM |
