what the hell is lapping it?
sand the bottom of the heatsink so it doesnt have the microscopic hills and valleys
take wet sandpaper, start with a low grit...300-400....have a strip of it...take the heat sink and place the paper on a flat surface(glass) then firmly go down the paper in one motion with the heatsink....rotate the base 90 degrees after a few strokes....then move on to next higher grit until ur satisfied
but the thermalright 900 is only 20 bucks, it has a coupon
