I'll go ahead and come in on Saturday to deliver it. PM me your name and addy.

WAHOOO! THANK YOU SIR!

I'm gonna need you to come in on Sunnnnday too. Thanks Peter

Two mugs at the same time, man.

Way to go Lundberg

Richard Youngman mother on speed dial 🤔

Shoulda seen that a mile awa- wait, are you the Asian?

texasdee slinglead i dunt get it, why?

Two corndoms?

Even worse if its a catholic school and the teacher is a nun

"Straight from the military" and she still had any "faith in humanity" *left* to break? WTF are they even doing now?

Does Cananadah have a military?

At least you didn't have a Hazard Chemical Training Person with a degree in Child Psychology who thought she knew everything. Yeah, she didn't last all that long.

clearly she was the "go-getter" planning all the mando-fun events that broke our faith in humanity. must be a 'fired up chief' spewing useless BS

That's worth a mug! PM me your name and addy please.

Don’t forget about a rotten fish on the end of your rod!

took me a couple of seconds to get it. lmao

I don’t judge... unequally anyways...

Thanks for the tip on the application. For removal, nothing beats a pressure washer, of course. Or a belt sander. :)

It's actually been shown numerous times that application method has minimal effect on thermals, as well as applying too much does nothing but simply waste thermal compound! GPU manufacturers on high end graphics cards apply a LIBERAL amount, it's almost crazy how much they use but as more doesn't effect cooling, but too little can be critical they do this! (better safe than sorry). Over time and thermal cycling it all flattens down evenly with the pressure of the sync, and just oozes out the edges. I totally agree with your application adivce though a simple line of it down the middle horizontally would have been the way to go (same as the rice grain amount on cpu's).

Jävelberg!

Bloody LIBERALS get everywhere nowadays!

I wouldn't recommend using acetone since it dissolves quite a few common plastics. Isopropyl is much better as a general cleaning solvent, including electronics, and it also doesn't leave residues. Didn't know about coffee filters, I'll have to try that out.

Simon Ashton; TIM =Thermal Interface Material, a.k.a. the white goopy schmoo inbetween two mating surfaces. Similar to other types of hand jobs, the quality of a TIM-job can easily be determined by inspection of the quality (and quantity) of schmoo deposited on the working surface. :)

Arctic silver is great stuff but you gotta be careful that be conductive wah.

Doesn't have any conductivity if you believe their eggheads

soupisgdfood 2:12 just like putin new thermal paste under your PC's CPU heatsink! *(SHOULD DO ONCE A YEAR)*

We got an egghead computer 'zine here in Tschörmeny. Last year they tested all that thermal conductivity schmoo. Way up high ranked: ketchup! Dries out fast but chooches better than some stuff you can buy on that purpose.

That part made me laugh more than it should have.

This man deserves a mug!

Yup!

Longer the gob, better the job?

For large heatsinks like this pre-smearing the heatsink compound is always best in industrial applications where you want to get good consistency from batch to batch. We have certainly had no issues applying it this way in many years of manufacturing high power/heat devices. And when you remove a heatsink it always looks like when AvE pulled the original heat sink off (what he describes as the mars like surface).

Paul's Garage Your engine light is on.

Frank Gormanns uh oh, the electrical tape fell off

umm,, did u want to rephrase that??

Fuck that. Coollaboratory Liquid Pro is what she needs! Only $20 a gram!

Damn straight!

That would be the computer geeks. Real engineers will buy it in the packaging that is closer to what it really is for a price that isnt marked up more than car dealership motoroil.

Getsome Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut $9 a gram! save some denero and chill your sil

When the Xbox 360’s came out and you were sending on back to Microsoft once a month to then just get a pos refurbished one back, I actually took the last one I received apart and used some arctic silver and replaced the fans with some that were not so anemic. It’s lasted over 6 years now, I’d dare say 8.

Doc Pedersen I suspect duty cycle has a part to play in the size. I imagine a municipal waste water pump or something similar that cycles and perhaps ramps up to 200% of rated speed on occasion to match demand?

MikeCookie1973 Huh? I was referring to method of getting heat out of heatsink better.....

Doc Pedersen my guess was simply that the hitachi has a larger heat sink and active cooling because it may be subjected to more extreme conditions (load and frequency swings).

That sure sounds like it still is. The surprise recently came from a study from Google? Facebook? one of the big ones surely, stating that that doesn't hold with hard drives as we all used to believe.

There is a rule of thumb in chemistry that for every 10°C increase in temp, the rate of reaction doubles. If parts are degrading due to chemical wear (oxidation etc) then sounds like you might be right!

It is true that lower temperature will extend the life of most electronics as failure rates follow the arrhenius equation. The much quoted doubling in failure rate for every 10C rise in temperature starting at 20 C ambient. However, there are all sorts of caveats, such as ensuring that the temperature is not reduced below the dew point and mechanical parts have problems with lubricant failure at low temperature. However, modern electronics is very reliable, with electrolytic capacitors being arguably the must unreliable component. The real problem with modern electronics is if it contains software, as manufactures are using software to build obsolescence into equipment, usually by ensuring incompatibility with newer versions. A lot of perfectly good and working electronics is consigned to the scrap heap, simply because a computer operating system no longer supports the necessary drivers. This form of obsolescence is creeping into brown and white goods as well as automotive electronics. As internet connectivity is added to almost all electronics, manufactures are using software obsolescence to force consumers to constantly replace products.

This is true for electrolytics, which is typically the part that fails most often, specially in motherboards.

cool (no pun intended) thanks for that.

Chase Konop @AvE lookie here! ^^^^^

STK Hook I will second that

nam Sake I was thinking about this too. The difference is that, with tile, you want a full layer of adhesive. With a heatsink the thermal paste is only filling in microscopic cracks on each surface. You don't even have to use paste if you lap the surfaces together.

smearing the schmoo introduces bubbles, leave it in a line and let the load spread it out

Would love a mug, from the days when Canada still used imperial units.

What Kaz said.. specifically the last 2 sentences. I repair servo drives. All the thermal paste is doing is filling microscopic imperfections in the metal to allow better heat transfer. Too much is bad bc you're creating insulation. "A dab'll do ya" is the right way to go. And if it's dried up and flaky, it isn't working anymore.

The fewer barriers/interfaces the better. The best contact would be a weld but once you achieve that you kind of have to start over. Next best would be perfectly fit and polished surfaces with nothing between them.

AuMechanic does vinegar get that silicon off?

I've used rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer to clean off thermal paste from CPUs and heatsinks with good success

+1 For finger painting the compound. I usually use a sandwich baggy tho, on account of being cheap.

+William Chamberlain I'm a bit of a carby cleaner fan actually, it just seems to take everything of anything, so it makes it easy to decide what to use. And Shellite is my other favorite cleaner if there is any plastic or melty bits.

Tony Fleetwood there's nothing hard about mine after coffee.

Take 20 for safety!

that's why i drink coffee

boss makes a dollar, i make a dime, thats why i poop on company time!

I find choc chip cookies with coffee tends the balance things out.

Monday side. Yoinks. I'll pay you royalties in mug. PM me your name and addy.

All that fancy info headed your way!

Its not quite the same principle, though. With tile, you’ll accept air gaps to allow a tile to be in the same plane as the ones adjacent. Mounting to a heatsink, you want both surfaces as close as possible and any air gaps filled with something more conductive than air (down to a microscopic level). I say load her up, clamp her down, heat her up a few times, re-torque, heat her up a few more times, then scrape the excess schmoo off the sides.

Preferentially, the chip would be printed directly on to the massive, silver (Ag) heatsink. ;)

All-in Ballsdeep

Doesn't look that dry

There are different patterns created depending on how dry and crappy the thermal goop is; you can usually tell when it's got some life left by the different patterns you find.

it wasn’t a pattern from tension from pulling on a paste. it’s a pattern of dry cracking

Form 93fa-6Z. Its a little hard to find but it should have everything you need. The 93fa-4H may work if you have all supporting documents. Don't go for the 93fa-5G though.

purple won lol

beastly5569 Fuck Yeah! Even if it comes via copart or some other auction, a motor and tranny tear down would be the Cockford Ollie!

The inverter alone is a thing of beauty.

Don't forget, AVE's afraid of schparks. Lots of schparks in that battery...

a pear sized dot? or a pier sized dot?

Jegus! How many containers do you use per application?

Looks more like a mug to me.

YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME?!?! DAMN CUPISM IS ALIVE AND WELL... oh. Yeah you right.

Voiceover: Shavono found out.

While we're adding things, trinitrotoluene is less good at cleaning up silicone oils. Unless you use it the other way.

Also try citric acid, theres a well know brand of cleaner that smells of fresh cut limes!!, for removing thermal compound from pc processors, think its made by alaska or akasar?( ive prob spelt both wrong!!lol!) Hope this help for some one. All the best mateys!

HellBilly Austin Arctic Silver thermal compound emulsifier. I use it a lot on my GPU/CPU and it cleans it up easily.

Orange oil too.

@Ilearch n'n'daCorna Oh Hush. It works perfectly well at converting problems to memories.

Probably gunna melt off the end of the fucking screwdriver with the ark they can produce

I don't think he'll stay surprised for long.

My heart sank just reading this comment.

I think both him and the screwdriver would be headin straight to low Earth orbit
