FS DD Maze 2 used, but lapped and polishd so it's better than new

Techguy · 12-21-2001, 08:14 PM

If you need the official information:
http://www.dangerden.com/test/mall/maze2.asp
and
http://www.dangerden.com/test/Instructions/MAZE2.htm

It's the Maze2 with 1/2" fittings.
I lapped the bottom with the final pass of 2000 grit wet/dry paper. It has a mirror finish. I polished the top and sides and have not touched the copper (I used gloves). There is no tarnish now. It's very shiny. It looks better than a 2001 penny I had laying around.

Maze 2's ship for $42+$7.50=$49.50
My asking price is $45 shipped.
This is a used water block, but I used it as part of a test. I'm done with the science project and don't have a PC that I can use it for until May. I have all the bolts and whatnot that came with a maze2. My block is identical to a new one in every way, except the lapping. (mine had scratches and I used ASII with the block and lapping removes both)

This my first selling on Pro Cooling. If there is anything I'm doing wrong, please notify me. I accept Money Orders or PayPal (preferred for faster shipping).

I will gladly answer any Questions you have about this.

Here are some pics:

I think it's lapped too much.... Too much lapping can reduce performance.

First of all... no thread crapping, dude... No prob though. I'm not gonna go the HOCP route and ban you hehehehe

. But in regards to that, it isn't hard to rough it up a bit. Just get a lower grit sand paper and go to work. Better too flat than not flat enough...

I've never heard anything about too much lapping decreasing performance, I have a very hard time believing that. However if you polish it (with a polishing compound and wool) you can warp the surface. The easiest way to detect warping is looking at the reflection of a straight line and checking if it isn't straight.

ice, it is definitely up for discussion... http://forums.procooling.com/ubbcgi/...c&f=2&t=000844

I was just saying it was lapped too much

If I wanted to crap his thread, I would have done it well(added more improper slang and words like "bling bling")... But I don't (usually) crap threads.

If it seemed like a crap, me = sorry.

It's still a nice heat sink

To me, it looks badass. I would happily buy that and sand it w/ some 600 grit paper. It looks hot!

Whats bad about 2000 grit? I'm interested since my MAZE2 (lapped to 600 grit) is only 3/8", I'd rather have a machined 1/2" then change the barbs myself and I'd rather not waste my 2000 grit paper since I need it for mirror shine on my case for moddin'

Block is now sold.
Thanks guys.
