I did do a little experiment though. I spread some AS5 on both the Cell and RSX chips in a thick coat, and then "etched" a criss cross pattern into it with a paper clip. I then mounted the heatsink on as tightly as I could and left it for a while. When I removed the heatsink I found that the criss cross pattern was still clearly present over most of the central area of the RSX chip. I.e. the heatspreader is probably concave and making crap contact![]()
Tendency of the wrist to move while lapping.why wouldnt it be flat if he uses a piece of glass?

Is that heatsink attached to something else? (the copper pipes in the picture, where do they go?).
...why dont you get a little hand held mirror that should be nice and flat and glue your sand paper to it?
