Lapping...

I shall be lapping my E2180 soon to lower my cpu temps. Which paper should i use? Regular Sand paper or Wet & Dry stuff?

Ive spy'd this in a kit from ............. for £1.99 which includes 1x240, 1x600, 1x800, 1x1200 WET AND DRY. Is this good enough to do the job, or is a finer paper needed?

Anyone got any good advice on lapping?

Its a pap cooler, wel its not its a "budget" cooler, so id rather buy a new one. But im thinking that £40 for a TRUE is a bit steep.

I'm sure i've read some where its about 8-10oc on Average. But they can vary, as you may not have had your HSF on correctly and now you do so you get lower temps. I went to Half***s aka the car place, it cost me £1.99 for 4 sheets. 1x240, 1x600, 1x800, 1x1200
