As you might have noticed... I'm currently in that phase...
I decided to keep the SL6Z5 P4 2.8 M0 Stepping, and to do some serious CPU lapping.
I can tell you that the Z5 is NOT flat at all! They only come in contact with the cpu block at the edges, and a little in the middle. The edges are about 1/2mm high!
1/2 mm is a lot of space to fill with thermicalpaste!

I needed to start with 600 grid to get it flat, then 1000, 1200, 2000, as3, ceramique. I normally strat with wet, and "finnish" with dry.
Somehow I seem to have misplaced my AS5, so I can't do a finish with that one anymore .
So I finish with plain paper
