Didnt know where else I should put this so I figured this place would be as good as any. I took the TT Easy Spirit II and took my premium lap kit (from http://www.easypckits.com) and went step by step using water, glass plate (literally) and some laundry/dish detergent (ran out of laundry cause it was like bone dry) and followed the directions from D44ves and W1zzards articles. Also, I followed the directions of the kit (it had some useful tips.) Below, are pics of my heatsink. I used 3m rubbing compound followed by a water particle based 3000 grit gelatinous type of mixture to get my end results.
I was really impressed with how easy, simple and time consuming it was. However, now I know I can lap anything
Next thing is, even though I put MX-2 on my HIS Video Card, I didnt lap that copper core that covers the GPU. That is one rough cookie. I may attempt that in the future.
P.S. Thats my backyard. I had to go outside (before we went swimming at the river) to get a decent shot. My flash was too much inside the house, even in well lit rooms.
