Polishing?

[kaleb500]

I am wondering how much of a difference polishing makes if any at all. Has anyone got any data like before and after polish for a single heatsink?

here is a guide


"Congratulations, you've just lapped your heat sink and created a better surface for heat transfer. You should notice close to a 5°C drop in CPU temperature, though results may vary"

Wow 5C. Never thought it would be that much.
