Are you accounting for shrinkage? That makes a BIG difference!

LOL. Wow.........



So where do I buy some arctic silver, and how do I use it? put some on top of the fets, or around the fets?

Thanks!

Might want to "warm it up" before using it again... Practice makes perfect... It is important to "keep your hand in", if you know what I mean - nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more say nor more...

I could go on all night...

That the stuff?

Its been in the freezer for a good 50 or so mins. And the heat sink wont come off

I guess it needs more time?

That's just a compound, like the stuff you'd put between a CPU and its heatsink. Look for the thermal epoxy or adhesive, Arctic Silver makes it and Fry's should sell it (that's where mine came from anyways).

You may need to use more force to break the thermal epoxy bond.
