is there any other place in UK that i can order some IDC7 except Chiled PC since there is no left in stock.
I should change my laptop thermal paste after 2 years of use and idle temps pf CPU about 45-50C this summer.

Check EBAY, I have a guy there in the UK with a load of tubes.

Shipping Chiled PC and they should have some the end of the week also added two new UK resellers so next week you will have more options

what is a chopper mod?

Hello_Moto · 08-25-2010, 10:41 AM

he means "copper" mod.

if you still dont know what this is - copper shim is sandwiched between two layers of TIM (AS5/ICD7) and placed between heatsink and northbridge to maximise heat transfer; essentially an upgrade to the stock thermal pad.

I know what a copper mod is. I thought had some new sweetness.

Most big stores are in Vancouver and not many sell it. The only store that I'm aware that has it in stock in Canada is Hardware Canucks, which is an online store.

How do we let the compound cure? Do we leave the machine off, have it constantly on?

Here are my results:

Code:

Before
Idle		Max
---------------------------
C0	44		74
C1	39		72
GPU	48		75


After
Idle		Max
---------------------------
C0	42		75
C1	40		71
GPU	48		73

Here's a visual indication of how much paste I used:

I know that I didn't apply 50 PSI, since it was too awkward to do so, but I was expecting a greater drop.

EDIT: Second attempt. Applied ~25% more to each.

Code:

After
Idle		Max
---------------------------
C0	41(-2)		71(-3)
C1	38(-1)		67(-5)
GPU	45(-3)		71(-4)
