coppershims

[chickenwuss]

will thermaltake copper shims hinder airflow and hence raise cpu temperature?

[Oni]

they shouldn't impede airflow, but some people say that they raise temperatures up a bit.

[The Overclocker]

copper shims also conduch eletricity, get something like a tweakmonster purple shim, it does not conduct eletricity and looks cool and doesn't do anything to air flow or temps

Looks matter in something jammed out of sight under a hsf? :p

[batboy]

Those copper shims actually raise temps on Intel coppermine CPUs.

well when i had my cak-38 i used a copper shim and it lowered my temps on my 1.2ghz system.. so it just depeneds.
