How to un-bond Arctic Silver adhesive?

[fuzzba11]

Does anyone know if there's a special way to do this? I made a chiller from two HSFs and a pelt in between and now I'm not sure if I want to keep it that way :p

If you mixed it with 50% part A and 50% part B your out of luck as there is no way to unbond it

I always use 33% part A, 33% part B, and 33% regular Arctic silver II When you use the blend it can be seperated by either the freezer method or the Heat up method......50% A and 50% B there is no method

;)
just kiddin...
You can try to put it in the freezer for 30 minutes in a ziplock baggie and try to twist it off, but you may damage your pelt

Alright, thanks, I don't think I'll do it, from how my chiller seems to be working, water's down to 19.0 C and dropping(not hooked up to cooling system, just yet, only for testing). Ah, 18.9 C! Hopefully this will work well enough so I won't have to use a radiator, even...

just curious what is the power rating of the peltier are you using for the waterchiller? I am gonna use 122Watt peltier with two Sk6 heatsinks and put a 120mm 89cfm fan with a 120mm to 60mm adapter in the other end:)

You have too much cash! :D Not sure of the wattage, it's 15.4 V and 5.3 Amps, I think. I'm going to post a thread of my water chillers now, actually...

ic it's a 82Watt pelt (15.4*5.3)

Yea if the result of my waterchiller is good I am gonna get rid of the auto heatcore and build a good looking chiller box:D
