Post - CPU Lapping


Just curious, anyone here lap their heatsink and processor? I just ordered a piece of photo glass to do it myself, but was wondering if anyone else here tried it.

For those that don't know, lapping means to use flat photo glass and very fine sandpaper to file a processor and heatsink to a perfectly flat finish. That reduces the thickness of the thermal interface and drives down temps real nice with no new hardware.
