EDIT: Ozzimark, cool! 2Day shipping! :D
yup! i was impressed. i had an email at 9:50 this morning saying that there was a package waiting for me at the post office. more like 1.5 day shipping :toast:
btw, stock heatsink sucks. tried my hand at lapping it, i think i need to get some lower grit sandpaper before i really put a dent in it (this was with 1500)

yo Ozzy,
u need to lap that with rougher sand paper first then go to the lower type, 1500 aint bad, you should be getting a very polished surface with that. You using water or just plain emerald paper?
Considering the machining marks and the fact that it's as flat as a bowl, i would start as low as 600 grit.
~4 guys are planning to get some 146's locally next week here :D
ya, i have to figure out where i put the lower grit stuff. i lapped that much with water.. not running though. getting it shiny isn't quite as important as getting it flat to me :DQuote:

mrlobber, do let us know how they do :D
Ouch Ozzi, that stock HSF sucks pretty bad. :slapass: Oh well, I'm sure you'll correct it in due time with your magical lapping skills. I'll just stick with my X2 cooler. :cool:
:eek: heheheh i like the beach ball effect on the stock HSF.......man who's gonna wait until friday to see some OCing.....we are OC starved here....common dudes let's see what these can do
if you're gettin em w/ heatsinks, slap the stock on there, see how it does :woot:
that was my plan, but i dunno if i can accept this thing unmodded :p:Quote:

nice, they're actually in stock too. i wonder how reliable they are
well, there seems to be a whole slew of resellers selling them, just not the one's we're used to(newegg, monarch, etc....)
yeah, there are a bunch, but when i checked up with vandi last week, none of them were in stock yet.
Geez $10 for ground! :eek:
well, after comparing prices of similar products to newegg and monarch from techonweb, newegg and monarch might have them for 15-20 bucks cheaper, yay, but to wait.... , i been holdin off buildin a 939 for 6 months now..... can i wait a few more weeks.....
heheheee,Quote:

Once I see the color/shade/texture become universal I only use a circular motion for the sanding (both clockwise and anti-clockwise).
Once you got it to tht stage you can start using higher finer surfaces. Dont forget to rinse the emerald paper with clean water at regular intervals through the whole sanding process.
Hope this helps
haha, thanks. that's what i normally do, but for some reason, i just can't get the polished shine :(
