As I lapped my tuniq tower, I wondered, how well is the heatpipe connected to the copper block? It's a concave surface attached to a convex surface, so how could they make the two line up well? It's not like two flat surface that you can sand perfectly flat and they will match up. Would I get more performance if I removed the block from the heatpipe and added arctic silver? The only thing I'm afraid of is that I wont be able to line up the heatpipe on the block as well as Sunbeamtech did.
