    heatsink theory/material/science questions

    cool, thanks for the link to that heatpipe site! is silver harder or softer than the copper or aluminum of the HS and IHS? Because if it's softer I suspect that no abrasion would happen... but maybe the silver particles could deform to fitin the tiny scratches and pits that are on the lapped...

    heatsink theory/material/science questions

    yeah, that AS site got me thinking that it would be a good idea to never lap the surface with anything below 0.49 microns, as that would leave the little silver particles with no place to fill in - like trying to stand on a floor covered in marbles.

    heatsink theory/material/science questions

    Thanks for the answers guys. I guess question number 8 was more geared towards an idea of providing additional support for particularly heavy heatsinks by mounting not only to the chip that i want to cool, but also to the case. And I thought of an additional question that I forgot to ask...

    heatsink theory/material/science questions

    I had a bunch of (probably impractical) heatsink theory/science/material/process questions, and can't seem to find much info, and was wondering if anyone here had some answers. Also, most of these questions are looking to increase thermal transfer (of course). Sorry ahead of time if this is...

    $75! Enermax Noisetaker EG701AX-VE-SFMA ATX 2.2 SLI 600W

    Recieved my $75 enermax 600w in the mail today, thing looks great except for some rips on the plastic on the box (and the packing slip was labeled BADBOX, which sounds ominous). rest of computer parts still in the mail, so I really have no clue if it's working...

    heat sink grounded, problem?

    thanks, was hesitant to test it on anything, as i really would hate to destroy some hardware.

    thanks for the cred on finding the deal, but I found it in the Monarch deals thread, so we have pfc_m_drake to thank:

    heat sink grounded, problem?

    Sort of random question: would it be a problem if my cpu heatsink was somehow connected to ground? As in touching the grounded case? What about other heatsinks (e.g. NB, SB, ram sinks)? thanks.

    antec tp2 550w or enermax nt 600w

    Thanks, ordered it. I feel reassured that you, of all people, replied to my post (and recommended the psu), as I have been reading your stickys (ies?) for quite some time. Thanks again.

    antec tp2 550w or enermax nt 600w

    looking for some advice on the better choice here. both are about the same price right now: http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=100365 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103931 also, had question regarding both...

    Anti-Overclocker's thoughts

    So I think, based on his usage, that this guy is saying "pipeline" and meaning (copper) traces on the actual motherboard. Which is insane. Saying the traces are the bottleneck is like saying that satellites are bottlenecking your solar panel because they block so much sun, as opposed to...

    wire oxidation questions

    update - found a large (6 inch) slit/break in the insulation about 30-40 feet into th spool, so I cut all that off, plus about 10 more feet, and now the wires seem completely fine, no (visible) oxidation. now I hope there aren't any more breaks that I miss...

    wire oxidation questions

    I found this giant spool of 14 awg single twisted pair (2 conductor), double shielded, insulated cable, but it seems that both of the conductors have a moderate amount of oxidation. I keep cutting off lengths and stripping the fresh ends, but even like 20 feet into the spool, its still oxidized...
