I am surprised at how wrong you people are with lapping.. You make lapping sound like the best thing next to sliced bread and burlesque houses.

The true fact is that when that water block comes from the factory it is already perfectly flat. Those blocks are CNC cut.. and are in the range of like.. .0001 flat.. or however that works.. there is NO need to lap a block that is direct from the factory.

Now, if you have abused your block.. or like me.. used a peltier.. and then let the block sit outside for 2 months now.. then you should lap it.. Otherwise.. there is NO need to lap.

Maybe someone already said this.. i didn't read the whole thread. I just get so sick of people talking about lapping a block when 90% of the time it's not even needed. Same with heatsinks.. although they are a bit easier to muck up.. specially if it's aluminum..
