It really does help, the first time i did it i didnt think that it would make much of a difference. You really see a decrease in temp with new and old heatsinks.

....i'd like to give it a try...... also... i thought polishing was a very bad idea... and i can understand why..... polish fills in the unseen dips in the heatsink were the thermal paste is saposed to go...... right? (cause more heat... then before)

yeah, I would reccomend againts polishing. A mirror finish acctually raised my temps by 1C compared to a regular 1200 grit sanded finsh.

1c? of course you quote this extremely minor increase taking into consideration changes in ambient room temperature and other fan related variables, right?
