And therein lies my problem... sure I could look at temperatures, but what really counts for longevity is pump-out and that needs thousands of thermal cycles.BTW Andy you should try SYY-157.
I don't mean to downplay all the work on temperatures, but it is a bit like comparing one car against another by top speed when there are so many more criterion, many much more important. That is why I keep returning to longevity (leaving cost aside)
This is where I am wondering if a future generation of TIMs will include surfactants that will have the surface tension refill the gap between chip and heatsink.
