I have a real cheap Chinese thermal compound (ZP-360, 30 gm, tube)It works just OK and I have been using it for a few years now.I was wondering if I could add copper filings in it to improve its performanceI am planning to use a very fine grit sandpaper to sand a household 99.9% pure copper wireand then add the copper powder to this silicone-based thermal compound.My primary use of this compound is for cpu and gpu heatsinksand I use a very little drop of it to avoid dripping/short-circuiting etc.I wanted to ask if this will improve the performance and thermal conductivity of this cheap thermal compoundhas anyone of you done anything similar?
This Site Might Help YouRE: KNITTTERS: what is yfwd in British knit instruction when there follows no kntog but pic of knit shows no holes? My knitting instruction is taken from Kim Hargreaves Cherished for a cardigan, the pic shows NO HOLES whatsoever in the fabric of the cardiganThe instruction says: K until marker, then place marker on the right needle, yfwd, K8, yfwd etcThe problem is that if I handle it as a yarn over, it.
No no noCopper and aluminum will corrode against each otherThermal paste is just that, a paste to remove air gaps between the CPU and the aluminum heatsinkEven the fine ground metal will hurt what thermal transfer there is, making it worse(aside from the corrosion issue) Heatsink compound is not that electrically conductive, it is heat conductiveDon't mix up those two different functions, they are not the same thing.
