    The Official Thermal Interface Material thread

    I just recently watched a video on diamonds, and it explained how good diamonds are at thermal conductivity, but didn't mention AI. ;) I have no doubt about the efficacy of the product - just the marketing nonsense, good meister.

    This is what happens when marketing morons are allowed to decide advertising without having any clue of what they're talking about.

    Wouldn't that have more to do with the coldplate than the TIM?

    What's an inexpensive AIO product line with a strong pump and low price?

    I'm no expert, but the reasons I can think of include: Points of Failure: In addition to the 2 points of failure in an air cooler, water coolers (closed and custom) suffer from others, including: Closed: Aside from hardline tubing, all tubes are made of some type of rubber, which is porous -...

    What are the top 10 in your inventory? Performance PCs is having a mother's day sale right now, 15% off everything. If your order costs enough, you can get free shipping. They do sell PTM7950 SP in a 2g tube, which appears it might be cheaper than LTT, especially if there's no shipping.

    What's a good option for a digital touchless thermometer?

    Sounds like it might be more accurate than my meat probe...?

    What's a good option for a digital touchless thermometer?

    That explains a review of the PTIA1 that I watched last night. That's bothersome. What's a better choice?

    I never realized that Darkwing Duck's real name is Bill, but it makes sense. ;) Thanks for your help! Thanks for your help!

    What's a good option for a digital touchless thermometer?

    I just need a range for normal humans and PCs, not the Human Torch. ;)

    What's a good option for a digital touchless thermometer?

    Ok, if it's shining in kids or pets, I think there are worse issues at hand...;) Multiple hits on the MT6CH, starting at $70. The MT6 starts at $186. Is there a significant difference between them?

    What's a good option for a digital touchless thermometer?

    I don't think that's available here. I only found these two from Parkside...

    What's a good option for a digital touchless thermometer?

    I was thinking of getting the Rosewill RTMT-11001, but I don't know if it's actually any good. Obviously, I would prefer something with a display in real time, but those tend to be outside of my budget at that time. I'd love a Flir or a Fluke, for example, but $1,000+ is rather too much for me...

    What does this have to do with not choosing PTM7950? It can handle it. For longevity, Kryosheet, Honeywell, and then Carbonaut. For reuse and transferability, Kryosheet, and then Carbonaut only. For electrical insulation, Honeywell only. Those TG products both conduct electricity. For...

    That really depends on the TIM and your usage. PTM7950 won't do very well until you burn it in according to instructions I've seen, and then it rules.

    Why every 8 months, may I ask? Have you considering putting an air duct in to make sure the GPU isn't getting choked by poor airflow?
