Tip from a knifemaker: start by trying to finish sand a piece of hardened tool steel, after that any sanding operation will seem like a breeze.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

I made a knife in school and tried to give the edge a final go after hardening but it just skipped down the stone with hardly any resistance and there wasn't as much as a scratch on the edge. The teacher just laughed at my look of surprise and then taught me about tempering. It wasn't the most fantastic knife in the world, after all it was made from just some unspecified steel they had laying around and the hardening and tempering was hardly scientific, just the basic heat it till it's a deep cherry red and throw it in a water bath. Get rid of the surface oxide then heat it until it starts to look blueish (I think that was the color, it was more than 30 years ago, and my memory is not always the best anymore) and let it cool down slowly before giving it a final polish and sharpening. But hey, I was 14 or so, so to me it was fantastic, and I had a good time hammering that piece of steel into shape in the first place. There is something oddly satisfying in molding a piece of red hot steel into the desired shape with a hammer. This was the one and only time I made a knife or tried my hand at hardening a piece of steel. Now if this had been high quality tool steel then I guess I'd still be trying to polish that thing...

For those coming from Linus's video and wondering about the results, remember this is thermal EPOXY, not thermal PASTE. Paste works better thermally but is not adhesive. If you need an adhesive that's thermally conductive you get an epoxy. So of course if you pit it against any average paste it won't beat it. Linus even mentioned it in his video that he didn't compare this to other thermal apoxys. This stuff ISN'T meant for CPUs. Even if it did outperform paste, permanently affixing your cooler to your CPU isn't a good idea.

[@ABaumstumpf]

Yes, so? The way he used it is still counter to how the epoxy should be used and his measurements are very inaccurate by the nature of the components he used. (The resistors are anything but equal - the placement of the resistive wire inside the body can vary quite a bit and measuring surface-temperature on a component you do not know the physical makeup of....

[@aijokallen6669]

@@ABaumstumpf Resistance is the defining factor of a resistor, the placement does not matter. Since resistors with the exact same resistance will produce the same heat under the same voltages.

[@wtechboy18]

@@ABaumstumpf wire wrap resistors are pretty consistent in terms of surface temps. The entire point of having the large aluminum block is to all but eliminate possible hotspots. Given the nature of the test in question I think it's more than adequate.

[@ABaumstumpf]

@@wtechboy18 "wire wrap resistors are pretty consistent in terms of surface temps." ??? XD No really. They are consistent in their resistance, but their placement inside the casing can vary quite a bit and thus the temperature at each side.

Can you beat the best high performance thermal grease, with the same dendritic copper/graphene mixed into some oil matrix?

[@leekrichbaum3334]

I'm was hoping there would be a bulk option of the grease as an option other than the epoxy.

[@Baigle1]

Would prefer that it didn't cement my heatsync/sink onto the processor lid when used, and yes this needs to be tested against Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.

[@rabenklang7]

@@madmax2069 don't the cpus have a protective coating which will then be removed?

[@madmax2069]

@@Bobbybobby1 most just leave the IHS on because it also helps protect the chips (they are very fragile). And if they're using a heavy LN2 pot, the weight can easily chip a dye. Many just sand the IHS and the heatsink level and run it like that. I know many de-lid intel CPUs because they use thermal paste in between the IHS and dye (which is a lot worse than soldering the IHS to the dye).

[@madmax2069]

@@rabenklang7 are you talking about the nickel plating on the IHS ? It's really only there to protect the copper in the IHS from corrosion (i do believe that when you put TIM on the lapped CPU it keeps the corrosion from taking place because it effectively seals the exposed copper from the air), and it's there to protect the IHS if someone uses a aluminum heatsink that it won't allow for any galvanic action to take place (between the copper and aluminum), they just don't use an aluminum heatsink.

[@rabenklang7]

@@madmax2069 yes i meant that, thanks for the reply, well i used liquid metal, i thought the tin protects against it. But you are right, copper might also be fine, i think delidding might be more risky, because the silicon layer is pretty thin, and atoms might move through that layer in time. Hmm maybe i will lap my x3700, i am not so satisfied with my temperatures, and i read after i watched this video, that the cpu is often warped, in consequence of the soldering.

Fascinating video. I would love to see you tackle conductive epoxy adhesive. Given the ingredients in this thermal epoxy, I wonder what the electrical conductivity of this particular recipe is.

LTT needs a follow up let's get it

[@inund8]

I have a feeling that linus didn't mix it properly, but we'll see. (He guessed the ratio instead of using the measurements on the syringe)

[@gutsuthemasterchef]

I think Gamersnexus should do it. They're more technical. LTT is more like entertainment focused with somewhat technical approach, so they make mistakes (a lot, some times). But when they do get it wrong, they make a follow up sooner or later. I wouldn't buy a thermal epoxi to add to a CPU anyway, but if it's wrong, it deserves a better test. The "do it like worst case scenario" won't do it.

[@asdanjer]

@@gutsuthemasterchef Linus didn't do anything wrong and it performed quite well. As he sad (and I don't get wey no one listen to it) Thermal adhesive is not the same as thermal paste. It is made for something completely different. It is used for tens and not hundreds of watts and therefore this does not really make a difference. also and more importantly IT IS ADHESIVE. it is made to Put a heatsink on it without any holder. Thermal paste has better Performance, but for it to work well you need a perfectly stable and strong and constant mounting pressure, LIKE the ones on a PC Cooler. This is really complicated and not even close to space-efficient.also it is not really stable. Fine for a PC not for the applications you actually use this in.

[@TechIngredients]

I wouldn't advise using a thermal epoxy, including ours, for a CPU. This is a PERMANENT bond. I'm surprised that Linus was even able to remove it with an impact without cracking the CPU. Expensive devices that can't be heated to a couple of hundred degrees C should be mounted this way only if you never intend to remove them. Viscosity differences play an important role as well because this affects the layer thickness.

[@gutsuthemasterchef]

​@@asdanjer I expected that. It's not really reasonable to glue a CPU anyway, but as you said, there's good applications for a efficient, permanent, thermal glue.

[@TelmoMonteiro]

I'm very grateful for your videos. It makes me a better human. Your work betters the humanity. Thank you

[@FrankRoosevelt32]

Please make a thermal grease! I would buy in a heartbeat. Just don't need the bonding portion.

[@jertres2887]

Maybe if I just do not mix the two parts of the epoxy, I wonder if he put equal percents of the copper diamond and graphine mix into both the big and the little syringe. If it stays liquid and squishes into a thinner layer probably it would work better as a thermal “grease”. He wasn’t trying to make better thermal grease, he was trying to make better thermal epoxy. BUT I agree, he should make a thermal grease.
