Question:
Can Plaster of Paris be baked in the oven?
I have made a model of my face by filling a plaster mold of my face with Plaster of ParisI was going to sculpt a mask out of air dry clay, but I ran out and all I have is polymer clayI was wondering if i could bake the plaster along with the clay? Thanks! (The clay package instructions are 270 degrees Fahrenheit.)
Answer:
You put way too much thermal compound on the processorYou only need a small pea size goblet on the center of the processorI would also get a new heat sync that is for your processor.
not all heatsinks are square if its round then it should cover the whole of the processor chip, also if you smeared loads of thermal compound on it, try again, too much is as bad as too little you could be insulating the chip and stopping it from conducting and it will fail, use a alcohol wipe and clean it off then use a tiny mount and put a thin layer on the chip with a card of some typeThen install the heatsink, if you used too much dont use the pc until you correct it.
As long as the circle is large enough for the square to fit into so there is a complete connection between the two surfaces it should be fineThe CPU generates enough heat that heatsinks are required and many computers need fans on the heatsink to keep them cool enough so the CPU doesn't overheatBut there needs to be a really good connection between the CPU and the heatsink for it to work correctly.
Cris-crossing the two answers and countering Gerald - yes Diane B is fully correct BUT you want the plaster to be fully dry, which may take several days or a trip of its own overnight in an over set lower that 212F, like 200F Once you have felt a dry plaster casting (not set which can be cool and dampish, but dry) you will know it in the futureHeating a damp plaster cast above the boiling point of water can blow pieces off as steam generates inside and can't escape fast enough.
If the circle covers the complete square surface then it will be fine.
