COVID-19 Lock Down C8+ Build

[@betajosh]

Your build guides have helped me with a lot of the finer details that aren't easily worked out or in build guides, so thank you! I now have a new S2+ triple, and will be modding a C8 soon thanks to you!

I said this in your other video too, but you are misusing the thermal compound. That is a totally unnecessary amount to use. Thermal compound does not conduct heat better than a pure metal to metal contact. The purpose of it is to fill the microscopic imperfections in the surfaces to maximize the surface area contact between them. You really just want an extremely thin layer between the surfaces. You aren't necessarily hurting anything immediately by using too much, as it's thermal conductivity isn't really any worse than the metal, but over time, as the thermal compound gets old and breaks down, you will have worse heat dissipation there and will need to reapply the paste.

NICE INSTRUCTIVE VIDEO

I hope you post where to get those parts so we can imitate your build. Thanks for the vid!

Where did you hear we're shut down until June 2nd? I'm also in Michigan. Nice video btw!

I watched one of her address to MI things last week where she in increasedthe stay at home for another 70 days which brought it to June 2nd. She also canceled the rest of the school year and depending how we are doing as a state with the Covid-19 by September she might cancel the first half of school as well.

What is the thing with the alligator clips that you use to hold the board in place when you're showing the soldering and where can I buy one?

Hi Does the XHP50 better than the SST40? and what as per you heats more and drain the battery more between XHP50 and sst40 Thanks

[@bradgiez6192]

can you add the parts list and links to them?

[@dakotafalz19]

Where are you getting your hosts and components? I ordered everything for a triple S2+ build over a week ago and I still don't have the package.

[@luxlumen4605]

I get my hosts and components from mtnelectronics.com their prices are fare considering the wait time to recieve them is way shorter than buying them from overseas and having to wait 3-6 weeks for them to arrive.

[@luxlumen4605]

I will update the description later today with links and other info on the build.
