Fo For now, I just need to have a way to evaluate it. This is the glue I have. I like that idea - simple but effective!

Yes, it's different. It has thermal conductivity as well as strong adhesion.

I was given some, but I've never used it before so I'm looking for suggestions on good ways to test it - obviously, without my computer being the guinea pig! ;) For now, I just need to have a way to evaluate it. This is the glue I have.

And here I was going to blame it on pollution. ;)

Yes, that's true, but we usually use metric of static pressure.... Crazy humans! ;)

That is what I just did with the A12x25, and the closest I could get to its metric output (why does everyone use CFM???) is .011m2. Thanks for confirming my only theory. :)

I've got an Aicevoos AS-H7 anemometer, which can measure velocity and flow, and has an area range of .001 to 9.999 m2 or ft2. I'm doing tests both in open air and a constrained area. For open air, if I use 9.999 I get incorrect readings. What should I use? Thanks! I finally found the right...

Nice work! May I suggest that you inspect and clean off your filters more often? I hope you're also using respirators!

I'm not sure how much of a market there is for it, but direct-die CPU water blocks that are not proprietary might attract interest.

Cool! Thanks!

Is that as far as you read? Stop cherry-picking, please. It can and does happen to most liquids when exposed to air or certain gases.

Article on hydrogenated silicone oil evaporation: https://www.hskbrchemical.com/how-quickly-does-hydrogenated-silicone-oil-evaporate/ And here's a PDF on, apparently, non-hydrogenated SO. Several variables involved in when it will evaporate when exposed to air. Especially HSO, which is...

Given the right conditions and enough time, just about anything will dry up. We're talking about exposure to the air, in which case it will.

I understand that they are homogenized, but that doesn't eliminate dessication..

Well, I have plans to do some testing, too, so any unopened packages would be helpful! Thanks! Why not? Even oil- based stuff can get thick and gunky if left exposed for a long time....
