Hi everyone. I'd first like to start off saying I'm kind of a weak person (physically) because I'm sick a lot. I've read a couple guides on lapping a heatsink, but I still haven't found a mtethod that seems to guarantee a perfectly flat/level surface.
Because I'm not strong, when working on home projects I have a tendancy to sand on an angle. Now I got a piece of mirrored glass at Lowe's - but Im still scared I will not make my Zalman CNPS9500 flatter. It might be smoother - but maybe not perfectly level.
Also, I want to lap my cpu, since it is not perfectly flat (AMD FX-55). But if you do that anfd wear off the markings... how do you let a person know it's the "real-deal" when you go to sell it?
Thanks for the help.
