Re: Monster TIM Review
said by signmeuptoo  :ROTFLOL! True, so true, but it IS just about as good as you can get, has a lifetime shelf life, a long service life, and goes on as thin as can be! Don't forget it eats through aluminum :/

| And? Your point is? So what if it does, who would use an elite compound on a cheap aluminum HS/F anyways? Are you trying to make it sound like it is a really bad thing? It's just a compound of nickle and two other metals IIRC, nothing noxious, just reacts with aluminum, so what, who cares since almost no serious heat sinks have an aluminum base!
I've been using it for more than a year now with good results.

| Didnt I read somewhere that it takes 48 hours to get out of its liquid state? Do you have to let it sit that long before you can turn it sideways or is it applied so thin that nothing will run.

| It won't run unless your a dummy and apply WAY too much, it clings on. You use a #2 paintbrush clipped short of the bristles. You put a ball on as small as can be and spread it all you can. Then if you need to ad more, you do to get it all over, spreading it takes time and patience, and should NOT be done inside the case or on the mainboard or any board because little balls will flick off that are conductive unless you are very skilled.
I didn't wait at all, didn't have to. It is supposed to be applied very very thin and can be applied more thin, by far, than AS5, for instance. Time and patience.

clubs: | Be sure to buy a can of brasso, that is what you use to clean it when you need to remove it and re apply. It is a job to remove, but just because it takes time, took me about 10 minutes to clean with brasso, then Arctic Clean 1 and 2... |
