yeah it is. Theres a couple guides on here, such as D44ve lapping his maze4. Search for that thread.
In short you get a piece of glass (for flatness), dab a little water on it, use 400-1000 grit in whatever you can get. I personally use 400-800-1000.
If you take off your heatsink and look at the base you will see and feel deep machine marks and the base will not be flat. Those two things are what you are trying to change.

Nice and tidy....8/10. One hint if I may, seeing as you have a Quad, stick another 80mm fan on the freezer pro so it's sucking outtta the heatsink fins straight into your case extractor fan, that will drop idle temps by around 5C and load temps by about 9C....that will give you more Mhz 24/7 or just run cooler at current settings.
Just get 4 screws about an inch and a half long, insert them thru the 4 corner holes on the fan and they will slip firmly between the heatsink fins.

Nice rig. Pretty good wire management. I like the GIANT window on the side panel. You really like blue huh? All in all, this is a fairly nice system.
