Soldato
Lap, lap, lap
I think if you get TR products you do so knowing that you will get some of the best performing heatsinks on the market but at the cost of having to lap it!
My TRUE Black edition was the same too.
In one plane it was perfectly flat (i got a bit excited when i saw that), in the other plane it was as bad if not worse than the OP's.
Yesterday i worked at lapping it for well over 2 hours and its still not flat and i have now exhausted my supplies, so its going to take another trip to halfords to get it sorted.
Then again its a sacrifice im willing to make because the TRUE Black does look really realy really good
bearing in mind that mentioning competitors' pricing is against the rules, how much of a premium is the black edition over the normal edition, on say... Deep Space Nine?
