Considering lapping my 120 eXtreme but i have a question that is probably going to sound dumb but here goes. If i lapped my 120 eXtreme and my CPU, would it make any difference to the pressure of it sitting on the CPU? If you lapp your settup you take off a thin layer from the CPU and HS-is it enough to lessen contact pressure?

Since i have an Antec 1200, my heatsink sends the heat upwards directly to the 19cm top fan. i have been concerned about the weight of the heatsink and possible flexing. I know the screws are tight but not overtightened. If i was to lapp my rig i would need to be sure i wasnt adding to the issue of the weight of the heat sink.

Well there is my noob question for the day, go ahead and rip into it!
