Hi Face

Just buy any (the cheapest) high temp RTV from the rain forest. You will only need a very small amount.

Also, get some clear nail varnish (I used clear coat paint) as there are 4 small contacts you will want to cover - assuming you are going liquid metal.

I was going to use Noctua non conductive thermal paste, not sure if this is any good? should i go Liquid metal? Tempted, thanks for highlighting this

Def use liquid metal. Thermal Grizzly conductnonaut

okay liquid metal it is, now for the nail polish xD

Glad you've gone that way. Buy a small tube as just like the RTV, a small bit goes a long way.

Just a word to the wise, practice the application before you do the real thing. More squirts out than you would think.

thanks,

is there a big difference between thermal grizzly and liquid metal
