I have a few questions about my CPU and VGA heatsink.
1) Would lapping the stock HSF and applying new TIM make a noticeable diff in temps? What would the difference in temps be for lapping the average aftermarket CPU HSF?
2) What is/are the best thermal paste(s) for CPU and/or VGA HSF's?
3) Is it feasible to lap the stock VGA cooler?
4) Would using the stock VGA reference cooler but applying new, higher-quality TIM make a reasonable difference in temps?
5) Know of any 5770-compatible aftermarket coolers?
Thanks.
