Hey, I understand this vid is a bit old but I have a few questions: Did you find it truly necessary to lap that heatsink? I'm curious about that heatsink as well since I have 4 Ultra-Kazes lying around.

Did you test the cooler before you lapped it? Was there a huge temperature difference? Sorry for the bombardment, but I am just browsing around between this and the Prolimatech Megahalem cooler. Thanks in advance!

[1VII2]

No problem.

I did not test the heatsink before lapping...

I did research before I bought the cooler and decided that I would lap it.

Traditionally, Thermalright Coolers have warped bases. Mine was no different. It was warped when I got it.

Now that it is lapped, it works extremely well. I can't comment on how it was before the lapping as I never used it before but I can't recommend it more after lapping. Great cooling and it looks awesome.

As well as this. At 3,000 RPMs, the Ultra-Kazes are loud. They come in different models so this may not be a problem for you but my single Kaze is loud.  At 2,000 RPMs, they still cool better than most other fans and the noise level is much better.

I hope this helps you in your decision.

awesome

Thanks a lot for the reply. Looks like I'm gonna have to find a way to get some lapping equipment, primarily a good piece of glass. The sandpaper and alcohol won't be a problem for me though.

I'm gonna save up and see what happens.
