Hey
I've been hearing good things about this 'lapping' jobby. So I have a few questions before I try it for myself. Probably best to put them in points:
  • Is 'wet and dry' just another name for sandpaper?
  • What is 'IHS'?
  • Should lapping be done on the cooler's heatsink too? (I have a Noctua NH-U12f)
  • What advantage does damping the sandpaper give?
  • Is there any chance of rusting?
  • Why do manufacturers make that nickel top in the first place if the CPU turns out cooler without it?
Any answers would be much appreciated :)
