DIY CPU Thermal Grease, Using Diamond Dust

Posted by timothy on from the honey-about-the-ring-you-used-to-have dept.

tygerstripes writes "The dysfunctor has spotted an impressive project over on InventGeek.com; an innovative chap has developed his own thermal compound for improved CPU cooling, using diamond dust — the best available material for thermal conduction — as the key ingredient. In spite of the quick-&-dirty DIY nature of the project, the gains in cooling performance are remarkable, especially considering the material cost was only $33. Given the price many enthusiasts will pay for a top-end cooler, it's easy to imagine this product coming to market quite soon."

    And obviously from a regular. morgan_greywolf really is a douchebag (one of only 3 folks I've flagged as Foes). And mcgrew really does post about about hanging around w/ hookers.

    I'd say you deserve an achievement - "Custom Tailored Troll Recipient"? Congrats.

    too is the word that means of a higher degree or more of. It also means also, or as well.

    to relates to direction or what is affected.

    I hate arctic silver. It is too conductive and I'm too twitchy.
