is lapping the base plate of a cpu cooler really better? 
I've always done this as a matter of course but I'm wondering if the slight increased surface area of a somewhat raw copper sink might be better.

Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Mr. Bigglesworth

Sounds like a waste of time. You have to use thermal grease that is going to fill any micro roughness. You also have to hook one side first which prevents an air bubble getting in the grease.

If you want more, silicone a water block right to the CPU top. Nothing transfers heat faster that water. Heavy water is still water.
