That dad joke at the beginning both killed half my soul and alive it 😂😂😂 Subscribed, love your content :)

Found your channel and so glad I have. You offer so much tech info and on a budget which most of us here fall in that category. Subscribed and binge watching thank you so much Sir.

There is a whole lot more to Mr. V than meets the eye. I would like to know what u do for a living. U have a very high calibered education gathered either from university or years working in the field of science. One really smart cookie. Thank u!!

I have made a diy thermal paste from silicone oil and graphite powder. It worked great. My laptop is happy and don't overheat

I wish we were neighbors, we could have a lot of fun and laughs together.

Great stuff. More accessible to me than the "Tech Ingredients" recipe. Hope you can do a followup some time down the road. See how it holds up over time.

I grew up with Zinc Oxide then in 2020 I needed some new Sunblock and none had it. I finally found some, but it has Titanium Oxide in it as well. The Zinc Oxide was only 4% too for a 50spf tube. Knowing now that Baby Diaper Rash has a high concentration of Zinc Oxide in it that I now know what to get (still check the label though). Thank you.

Its midnight, microcenter didnt pack my thermal paste, and i need to get this pc made tonight. Thank you. Now i can get that done.

That pearl joke is a Gem.

Nice video! I was looking around my house and found some dielectric grease for my car. It might be better than vaseline since it's meant to withstand higher temps. I also have a small tube of graphite lubricant for locks. All I need now is that sunscreen.

OMG @vuaeco, i just glanced thru your vids. Where you been all my life???? I love it!!!!! Im gonna have so much fun with all these projects and diy myself. Lol😂😂😂. Thanks dude. TYTYTY

Nice presentation, good information, no lengthy bla bla bla. Well done.

I really love your video. Your explanations and details are awesome. Great production. Thanks

Household ingredients really?.. yeah leme just get my aluminum and zinc oxide out the fridge hand me the boron nitride out the oven please

Great, thank you! Greetings from Stockholm Sweden Europe 🙂🇸🇪

Man, you are such a gem. I've watched tons of your videos, and this one is extra special for the jackassery I wasn't expecting at the beginning.

Nicely said @vueco!!!🤗🤗🤗... You surely proved it. I too wish you were my neighbor😛😛😛. I love finding KZfaqrs and DIYers like you who shares their ideas and show proof that it works. Keep it up. Im following you now. TY🙋

Thank you for this recipe 😋 my kids really loved it and they said that it looks like "squid goo"

Have you thought about swapping Vaseline for Super Lube? It says it has an operating temp up to 450F (230C). I checked silicon grease too, operating temp up to 180C. This might seem like overkill for semi-conductor heatsinks but useful for 3D printer heat cartridge bridging to the heat block. Thanks for the info & video!

Awesome, thanks for the science info, have ordered some graphite powder for my 500w led chips!! Although will have to take a trip to the shops for nappy rash cream. A+ video

Interesting, 10 degrees delta is a lot! I wonder how the other properties of your paste matches up against. You should stress test the paste and produce it if it gives you good results!

Very nice! You can bet I'll be trying this. Thank you for sharing.

I would assume there is some sort of brake fluid or vehicle grease aswell that you can use. They are made for high heats and meant to go on all sorts of metals and surface, and are certainly oily and goopy forevever

Awesome! I think it will be even better using baby rash cream. Follow up maybe? Great video!

Wieder eine tolle Idee! Gerade wenn man es benötigt, hat man es nicht zu Hause. Danke für deinen Tipp!

I'm doing the same with chargers and testers for 18650s. How about silicone with graphite when you don't want the heatsink to slide off? Water based lotion might work because it's said that water speeds up the curing in pure silicone.

i use sudocrem an irish brand nappy cream its ingredients are zinc oxide. lanolin. benzyl alcohol. benzyl benzoate. benzyl cinnamate. but it has worked well for me

That's so impressive to see the temperature difference between both thermal pastes but could you tell me that, will it last longer as the market thermal paste. like somehow 4 to 5 years? please reply to my words.🙏

Took my house inside out couldn't find a zinc based product, then i googled zinc oxide and realized i have a container full of that shit in my room i use it for body odor we call it zax(zakh) thanks for the great video m8

Thank you. I needed this intro.

Great idea, thanks! Only thought I have is that, in my experience at least, petroleum jelly becomes very thin and runny , almost liquid-like at sustained higher temps. So may want to watch closely for any squeeze-out after sustained high heat loads ( especially for spring loaded heat sinks.). Re: 4056! hacking, I came up against that a while back. You can use a resistor outside the spec shtetl range for higher current, to a degree at least. Needed beefy heat sink , and it helps to get the input voltage closer to CV voltage (4.2). I used a shottky diode to take the 5v supply down maybe 0.5 to 0.7 ish volts under load , taking some load off the 4056. But to get the current up substantially, I also ended up using 2 or 3 4056 in parallel. This works fine and in fact there are many charging boards and other chinese electronic products using charging ic in parallel. I paralleled the module input and outputs, as well as the chip pins for the two LED indicator circuits, removing LEDs on all but one of the modules .

You can get high purity zinc oxide at an art store. It's used as a white pigment for paints. Get the dry pigment, not the paint. I don't know if titanium dioxide will work.

Thank you sir

i use zinc oxide aluminium oxide and vaseline .never thought of graphene thanks

Any updates? Thermal paste are very expensive in my country, i wanna ask what if we add charcoal? I saw some did that! What's the benefits? Also, what about motor oil instead of Vaseline?!

wowww cool bro.information is great

IT WORKS! its even better i have an 11t gen intel core i5 and it stays in 35 to 40 celcius at 100 percent load woth using more effective that buying an mx-5 thermal paste!!

God that's absolutely the coolest thing that I have ever seen, very punk Could you esteem the thermal conductivity of that paste? I'm going to try it for myself if it is worth the shot

Great video... How much time you thiink ikt will still working?? We need another video for that :)

Hey V, you can use a syringe 💉 that is used for children medication. You cab probably get it free at your local Walgreens, if you don't have some laying around. And an a wire cap for a spill preventer. I actually use those for my 2 part epoxy. Works great 👍🏼. Great find with this thermal paste brother.

I tried to add like 0.5gm or graphite powder on a cheap thermal paste with caution that it will lose it's electrical resistance. I need a reply in case of this is actually dangerous .

Perfectly delivered joke!! 🤣🤣 This video made my day 😁

Great video

Instead of graphite,use copper powder see what happens or diamond dust from a jewelry store mixed together with graphite grease from a electrical store.(I'm over do it a little bit)

What would you use if you had some that was on the shelf for over a year and wasnt as liquid as before?

a bottle of antiseize is fairly cheap @ auto store. I believe it's graphite but they also make it w/copper. Both are conductive so don't get it on your traces.

Bless you ! You are genius

I love this - DIY ftw! I need to look around and see if you have any videos about DIY thermal pads. I have some 1.5mm aluminum that I'm considering cutting up into shims for a heatsink. I'm not sure about the conductivity issue because I'm applying it to components on a PCB that aren't typically covered.

Thank you. I learned something new today.

I do not understand one thing . Vaseline doesn't melt when the temperature goes up ?

What about it's performance over time? Last time I made thermal paste with vaseline it dried out in less than a year.

I just found your channel! I'd like to know something???? WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE??? God you could have made my life so much easier had I found your videos sooner... I'm off to smash my fingers with a hammer. Lol

great video !

You can use sudocream it has a lot of zinc oxide

best vidio ever there is no tech place nearby and i dont have credit card so that is rly usefull

hi there i had the vaseline and graphite but the sunscreen was only0.99% zinc oxide and it has 5.0% zinc oxide and 7.5% octinoxate which ive never heard of im nervous and havent turned on my computer waiting til i can figure this out im gonna try and google that stuff but i dont understand conductivity anyway so it might be a waste of time if anyone could help i would grately appreciate it. thanks for the video!

Thank you for the video. Would it be possible to use just Zinc Oxide with jelly? I actually have a little zinc oxide left from my kids school project that I could use. If not, I will just buy graphite and the other ingredients as you stated. Thank you for the great videos

Grate sharing thank you!!. How is the performance of the homemade paste after one year?

I love this guy 😅😅😅 so amazing.

Thank you, I no longer know. I did the same as your steps in the video, then nothing happened on the first laptop because I don’t actually use it much. As for the second laptop, which is the one I used, it no longer wants to stay running. Can you show me a solution or would I like and prefer to buy a better thermal cooling paste? Thank you for disabling the laptop I use!!!👏👍

Can't wait to cool my iPhone 7 with a stock Intel cooler and this homemade thermal paste

this paste is good but not recommended for beginner because aluminium/silver as good conductor so that material have a high risk for beginner ...

I have a question is this conductive to electricity?

For what need zinc oxide, why we can't just use graphite and vasiline ?

Amazing video you deserve a sub

Thank you

For Silikon Grease you can get easy Liqui Moly in a tube. I have it =)

how long does this paste last?

can you comment on the longevity of your homemade thermal paste? how long does it last?

isn't graphite electrical conductive?

I noticed that battery has rust. I have threw away many rusted 18650 cells that appear to hold charge and there is no puncture leaks. Don't know if its venting or from getting wet. mostly pulled from power tool batteries. So I assume they got wet in the rain while working. but I don't want to take the chance so I end up recycling them.

this is a great video , thank you

Can i use batteries as replacement for graphite or pencil? And overall how long it would last? Thank u so much btw :)

The melting point of Vaseline is lower than that of silicone grease. Wouldn't that be a problem?

Question is, how long would this paste last until the next replacement?

sorry for discover this late but what if mixing graphite powder with thermal paste and thermal glue does it going to make the heat transfer better ?

Only 9 months post this video but QUESTION: How's your mix holding up, is it working?

But graphite is also a good conductor of electricity so it can cause a electric?

You are amazing thank you

are the temps still good?

Thanks this is cool

Can we use other cream that have a big percentage of zinc inside? Because I don't have sunscream

awesome video!

No wonder my Mum said not to use sunscreens

Thanx. :)

Hi Bro, can I used Vaseline and graphite from dry battery cell and sunblock cream please guide

hello very interesting stuff. i was curious is your pc still running on this thermal paste? and also using graphine and the other metals, doesnt that make ur thermal paste conductive?

I had mixed vaseline with tooth paste 😅 Still better than nothing .

If it really performs 10c better I would absolutely use this and test it for let’s say a year. If it ist still cooler I would start to sell it.

only 65 degrees peak on a 5600x with a stock cooler

what would you add to make an adessive ?

to use liquid vaseline instead is a bad idea?

Just use Plumbers Silicone Grease it works just as good as Thermal grease. Even better if you mix in a bit of Graphite Powder in it .

You could use copper paste, no problem.

but, graphite conduct electricity. it can cause short circuit.

I don't want the FBI to knock on my door, soooo I will pass thank you.

Graphite is a very good conductor to electricity. This should be a concern. The idea is to use materials which are good conductors of heat and poor conductors of electricity. That said, the Zinc Oxide and the Jelly should serve as temporary solution. Heavy no to the addition of graphite. Goodluck!

Thanks Dude. Off to Walmart for some Diaper Rash Cream

@vuaeco, I wish you were around the corner from my house. Lol. Anyway, Im wondering if could help me. I have a Sony vaio SVE151J13L. I would like to upgrade the CPU, but was not able to find any online info. Do you think it's possible? And if it is, which CPU would be the best to use? I hope you can help...

100% agree. i wouldn't risk destroying my 3K custom build PC/Workstation on a hack thermal paste. I also like to save my beautiful manly finger nails. lol
