@kaia My sister broke my power drill I need to use to polish heatsinks and it just broke more while I was trying to fix it yesterday.
I don't want to make half assed work.

@mangeurdenuage like a dremel tool?

@kaia I have one but it's less efficient than a large power drill.
See I use a cotton disc to first polish, as you can see in with the most dirty of the disc, and then use an even finer disc cotton but to clean the surface.
You don't have these exact accessories on a mini drill like a dremel.
But dremel works but it takes me 3 hours and more to have a lesser result instead of like 15 minutes.
As you can see the head to fix the drills or any accessories of the power drill is broken and now even the inside pins are gone.
Can't find a replacement part.

@mangeurdenuage why do you need to polish the heatpipes? I never heard about that being done. I've seen guys use isopropyl alcohol and wipe away the old thermal paste with that. does polishing really make a measurable difference?

>why do you need to polish the heatpipes
It's not the heatpipes I polish but the contact surface of the heatsink.
Doing so create a much better heat transfers.
Thus heat get extracted much better from the cpu, thus less damages caused by electro migration, thus less energy needed by the fan too.
>I've seen guys use isopropyl alcohol and wipe away the old thermal paste with that
That's standard yes.
>does polishing really make a measurable difference?
Greatly in most cases. Around 10°C on average.
