I don't have fine enough sand paper, and no lapping experience, I polished the hell out of it with a polishing cloth. I can understand pitting a heatsink, but I got no clue how it formed those bumps. Smartguardian barely sees a difference between idle and load temps, maybe 2-3C, even with the original smart.ini. I know my WC setup isn't that good, I don' think. I did cut off about 18 inches of extra tubing, so maybe it did make a big difference.

(SSssh! im at work now.) ;)

That's funny, actually I just ran a different burn in proggie and it seemed to solve the problem, the other app just wasn't taxing my CPU enough. It seem that my load temps went up 1-2C actually. Definately need a new WC setup 1/2"ID this time, and an external radiator.

Thanks Thunda, like the new avatars you and ExRoadie got. Actually, I really like the mesh I got out of the window of that microwave. It's really thin and flexible, but it took about 1/2 an hour to get it out, since it's wedged betweeen 2 pices of plasic, and one side is actually glued to the window. Once I had the door off it came apart pretty easy. Good suggestion though. I used an old speaker grill from my car, for the CPU Cooler, the holes were less restrictive on it.

This is only a temporary fan grill, as it doesn't cover the entire cut, also I hade to cut it custom for another case.
