I looked on the first page of the board and I didn't see this posted yet. Sorry if it's old. I saw it on Slashdot this morning:

The Thermal Paste Revolution
http://slashdot.org/articles/03/08/01/0432225.shtml?tid=137

Basically, the secret to this is the adequate material combined with superior spreadability.

Would you get it?

Yeah, I saw that too. Looks like it could become standard overclocker gear. I wonder if BillA has any experience with this stuff.

Even if it is old, I haven't seen it yet. thanks for the link! Looks like this might be something to follow the development of.

It seems pretty far along in development, though even if its close to launch we probably wont see it for a year or so as with most engineering developments it would most likely need to be approved by the gov before going mainstream commercial.

Besides that, I would sign up. I commend these researchers in comming up with an off the wall solution to a problem people thought has been beaten to death.

I cant wait!

I tried a quick and dirty test today with carbon black (copier toner)
and mixed it with some CoolingFlow paste.

Temps were Higher as the Carbon black coagulted on me.

Chen's paper is pretty staightforward, anybody could mix up a batch.

Carbon black only costs a dollar a pound. other materials are readily available. Next time I will follow her formula as it seems sensitive as per her data indicates.
