New better thernal paste

[STEvil]

Compound X will be revealed at the bottom of the post 8-)

Well, its not new, and it isnt actually meant to be used as a thermal interface material, but it sure does KICK ASS.

I have tested it on:

(1)XP 1800+ Palomino @ 1650-1683 1.8v
- Dr. Thermal TiV77n w/ Delta 60 7krpm 38cfm
(2)XP 1800+ Palomino @ 1320 1.75v (230 watt PSU )
- Chrome orb + 35cfm 60mm thermaltake fan
(3)XP 1700+ T-Bred A @ 1740 1.65v
- Dr. Thermal TiV77n w/ Delta 60 8krpm 41cfm or so
(4)XP 1700+ T-Bred B @ 1812 1.6v (mobo limited 8-/)
- Dr. Thermal TiV77n w/ Delta 60 8krpm 41cfm or so

1 - Shuttle AK11 rev 3.2 mobo.
2 - Epox 8KTA3 w/ 230 watt PSU. Mobo limited to 120mhz FSB due to psu 8-/ Damn those mosfets get hot!
3 & 4 - Different Epox 8KTA3 w/ 350 watt PSU. Mobo limited to 145 FSB due to ram.. at any settings 8-/

each heatsink and cpu was cleaned with isopropal alcohol between tests. I know they arent perfect tests, but it gives us an idea as to what this stuff can do 8-)

Compound X is:

Permatex Anti Seize Compound (a product of loctite technology).. part number 133H. Ammount: 113g Price: $13 CDN

Links:
I think this is the same stuff.. its in a different bottle, though.. mines fat and shorter.. and only rated to 870deg C.. that stuff goes to 1315deg C!

There is also some copper based stuff out there.. might be even better 8-)

I dont know if it is electrically conductive, though... I have tested it with my digital multimeter and have seen no numbers pop up... but you never know until you run a bit of power or so through it.. 8-)

Is nail polish electrically conductive? Might be good for covering ram leads/gpu tops/whatnot..? 8-)

EDIT

Results comming sometime in the next 3 or 4 days (?) on 1700+ T-Bred B with TiV77n and 7k screamer on 8K3A+ 8-)

Wont have AS2/Nanotherm results, though.. I ran out.. 8-/

EDIT 2

Oops. I thought I put it in the overclocking forum.. shows you what playing loud music to break in a new subwoofer will do to you.. lol 8-)
