Isn't this the stuff that eats copper when applied to a copper heatsink? Its looks like the same stuff.

edit: This is different in the second link they are applying it to a copper heatsink, hmmm would be interest to read any reviews anyone has.

I tried it initially, it was difficult to apply and temps were approx 36 idle. Following day got some AS5, redid the whole lot and temps have been approx 29-33 idle depening on room temp.

WOW, i was just looking at this stuff before the thread was started & was thinking about getting some - not now tho after reading the second link!!
i think i would prefer to have a healthy life than a couple of deg cooler cpu

Just a thought, but they specifed not using an aluminuim HSF!
Is the heat spreader on the Opterons not aluminuim?
If it is how would it affect it, EAt it as well?

IHS's are copper with a nickel cover so would be fine.

Thought this might be about using mercury in a water cooling system

 

[SidewinderINC]

wow, i gotta get me some of this stuff!!!

forget using it in a cooling setup, you can have some fun with this with some good scientific knowledge

hmm wonder how this stuff would perform in a water cooling set-up ? assuming you had a copper rand and blocks and nothing Aluminium in the system . would be pretty nice to find out.
