Should I Lap the crystal orb base?

[LiQuIdPhobia]

Does anybody know if it is necessary to lap the base of the crystal orb? Would I get better temperatures by doing it?

[Dissolved]

no, its smooth enough.. so lapping it wouldnt get you any better temps..

[CrystalMethod]

It may have a smooth surface, but it may not be a level surface. I don't want to second geuss you on this, Dissolved, but he may want to check to see if the base is level. For the most part having a level base, is a little more important than having a smooth surface.

Crystal, I agree with you as you should check to be sure.





:cool:

[Dissolved]

yea, but it could be aight if you got some 2k grit sandpaper and did a final shine :)

Like they said it is a real nickel base smooth finish!

If you have nothing better to do it then go for it :D

I have a Corb and checked it for flatness, I would not dare lap it the thing is smooth and flat enough

Alright, thanks for the advice guys, I don't think i'll go for it.

The only problem with my cORb is that it has a few scatches on the base, would this affect the temps?

Depends how deep the scratches are. No matter what there will be minor sanding marks made from the manufacture.
