Modding ain't as much fun when you're bleeding and burning.

Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it!

I have tried it but it's so great.. cutting your self with plexi SUCKS.

Update, I do have a partially completed TIM sitting in a jar here at the house. Currently waiting on some more high-quality graphite powder to finalize it. Keep watching for more updates.

Preliminary testing (will be posting graphs soon) shows that it actually works!

It's (without giving too much away) a mineral oil based TIM that's bulk loaded with aluminium powder and high-quality microfine powder graphite (no molybdenum) with some calcium oxide to keep everything in solution.

My testing is limited by the fact that my i7 shipped with a half-height cooler that's pretty much crap, and I have no other viable coolers to test with. However, it did pass a 30-minute OCCT test, which is the first step in verifying everything. Tomorrow, I'll be getting syringes to load this up and get this ready to send out to a few people for testing.

At this point, I'm not completely sure just HOW good it is, but I know that it acted in certain situations better than the cured MX-2 I had on there before. How much of that is the TIM and how much of that is the crappy, crappy cooler is yet TBD.

Get me a tube. I'll test it
