Hi all, not so new to the whole o/c thing, but heard of lapping a few moths back and never looked into it. I have a couple of the blorb's in my system and they just don't sit right. The bottoms are about as flat as a 1972 VW Beetle! I think they need 'lapping' so far as I can tell, as I've heard others have done this to cure the problem. Can anyone tell me what it is, how it's done etc?

Lapping is polishing your Heatsink to give it an extremely smooth and shiny surface. I did my FOP38 but i cant find any pics to show you. Just enter "lapping" into any major OC/Mod forum's search function and you should get a few examples.
