which thermal grease for phase change cooling?

hi,
which phase change cooling is the best. would liquid metal pad work like http://www.caseking.de/shop/catalog...ollaboratory-Liquid-MetalPad-1xCPU::6008.html

Never seen that before so I would'nt know how good it worked. I would use Artic Silver Ceramique for phase cooling.

I would stay away from the liquid metal stuff personally.

You need ceramique. http://www.arcticsilver.com/ceramique.htm

OK


-LINK-




the stuff is CRAZY tough to apply ... its like ummm.... sandy clay ... barley moist


how i apply it is:

5x "large BB" sized dots on IHS (center and "close" to the 4 corners)
pressure spread (mount HSF)
un-mount
apply BB's to fill in gaps
pressure spread again
un-mount again
(repeat as necessary)
wait the 10 min for solvent to evaporate
and then final mount.


gets a little tricky because 1/3 of the stuff always seems to pull off and stick to the HSF while the other 2/3 stays on the IHS

Yup, I have Great stuff and it works as advertised. I did, however, noticed after months of use when I removed the sink the stuff smells really bad. Hard to describe the smell, but it was an extremely strong foul odor.
