your hand, i actually tape the sand paper to a table and move the heat sink ontop of it.. banging/dusting off the sand paper every one in a while.. probably not kosher but works for me|MaguS| said:What tool would I use?

DanThePlanMan said:I use Artic Silver 5. I like to do the following with a new waterblock/heatsink. I lap it.Then I apply Artic Silver to it and rub it in the base as hard as I can with latex gloves and my finger until the base is a dull gray. I then heat up the base with a cigarette lighter. Don't burn it, just heat it up. I then repeat the process. This melts the Artic Silver into the invisible pores of the metal. I then apply a very thin coat to the CPU using a razor blade (very carefully). This really isn't necessary for most people. I super cool my system so my cpu never gets hot enough to actually melt it in on it's own.
GoHack said:I went and had a small sheet of glass cut at a local glass shop, to lapp on. It works pretty good.
The only thing better, is a granite inspection table.
PsycoGeek said:I was thinking of having a local machine shop mill and grind a piece of steel .5x6x9 inches for me to lap on. Don't know what that would cost though. Now where the heck would I get a granite inspection table? Gonna google it an about 2 minuits...
GoHack said:I was simply pointing out that a sheet of glass is pretty flat as a comparison to a granite inspection table.
By the way, I foregot about lapping plates.
