Toothpaste is better than thermal compound...

thats great =d a thermal compound you have to reapply daily and ppl whine about slow bootup times =d

If you're gonna get that exotic you might as well build an airtight containment system and use mercury as the thermal compound.

Isn't mercury, um, highly electrically conductive?

Yes it is, but aren't aluminum and copper?
The core of the processor is protected, which is why AS3 and metal heatsinks don't cause problems when applied. You just wouldn't want any mercury to leak out onto the contacts, hence the containment system. (Not to mention that mercury vapor is highly toxic.)

I must apologize for being kinda new to this cooling madness, but what exactly is a 'Vapochill Case' and how much do they go for and where can I check them out at, thanks

LOL I'm new to cooling, too I just read about Vapochill cases on www.chillblast.com. They're like a refrigerator for your computer.
They sort of defeat the purpose of overclocking, though, as they cost about the same price as Intel's most expensive CPU at any given time...

Vapo's are like Ferrari's, only nerdy instead of cool. They cost too much for what they do and yeah, they go fast, but not a $100,000-quarter million dollars fast (or in this case $500). It's a showpiece.
Anyways, for the best results weld the core to the heatsink.

How could you weld anything to something that gets ruined at 90°c ? Mind you couldnt you solder it on?
