Hi all,
Ok so I got my silver watercooling blocks in, and what I want to know is 2 fold.
First, should I lap this block?
Tried to capture the reflection quality as best as I could....
The finnish isn't bad, but mill marks are visible. Though it feels smooth I'm sure it could become a mirror with an hour and some effort.
My next question is, if I lap this, would it be any different from lapping a copper heatsink? I do not want to mess up my block by doing it incorrectly. I have been looking over this guide:

Would I do the exact same thing for a silver block? With the shine that is on it now, would I still start at 400 grit? Is this even a good guide?
I just don't want to hurt my new goodies
