Hey guys,
I just this project/article over the internet, showing how to make your own Thermal Compound, made of Diamonds Dust. Yeah, you heard me right, Diamonds! 
| Quote: | | Anybody who is a true computer hardware enthusiast these days knows that keeping your CPU from overheating while pushing it to its limits is one of the most important concerns. Thermal compounds like arctic silver are the front line of that defense, conducting the heat directly from the CPU to the heat sink. Without the compound, small imperfections in the surface of the heat sink can render the heat sink almost useless and lesser compounds can actually insulate your processor. Thermal compounds that are available for purchase have remained unchanged for some time. So I descided it was time to reinvent my thermal compound needs with some diamond dust! |
You must read this, you'll be amazed by the results:
