Sandpaper For Lapping?

Thanks for replys guys,

Went to halfords today and got some sheets of 800 and 1500 so im hoping that it will be ok, really cheap too less then £3.50!

They have got a 'project kit' too, which has a selection of loads of different wet 'n dry stuff + some aniti oxide sheets too, but the wet'n'dry only went upto 1200 so i never got it. Was only 4.99 aswell!
 
Just finsihed it, got a nice temp drop and everything went well. Got a very shiny finish but not like a mirror. Think i would have needed the 2000+ stuff for that.
Thanks
 
CPU load

Before 36
After 31

I also did my chipset cooler -load (Thermalright HR-05 SLI),

Before 52
After 39!

Howerver, I also moved my 1800xt from slot 1 to 2 as before the accelero x2 cooler was blowing hot air directly onto the chipset. Ive also had to completey romove the rubber protector that sits around the bottom of the heatsink. I must have put it on at a bad angle last time and the rubber had gone all over the base!
