It's thermal paste not thermal grease, n00b

<rant>
Thermal paste is a compound used on electronic components to help transfer
heat from the component to an attached heatsink. Plain, simple, white
thermal paste has been in use for twenty plus years. Arctic Silver markets
a form of thermal paste that contains a silver oxide that supposedly
conducts heat better because of the silver (?) content.

Thermal grease is the thick petroleum based goop that is used on your car to
lubricate the wheel bearings. it has a high viscosity rating needed to
withstand the extreme temperatures produced by the friction between
bearings.


THE STUFF USED ON COMPUTER HEATSINKS IS NOT THERMAL GREASE.
IT'S THERMAL PASTE.
STOP ACTING LIKE A BUNCH OF LANGUAGE CHALLENGED NOOBS.

It's Thermal Compound. Thermal Paste is usually a semi-permanent two-
part epoxy.

 

Hmm.

I really hate to point you to the fact that you are clueless, but it had to
be done. Think of it as an intervention. Next time you type anything
intended for public post, please check the distance between your foot and
your mouth.

 

Heh

 

The only one clueless is you, jackoff.
You are probably one of these jerks that refer to thermal paste (compound
see the first fucking line) as thermal grease.

I don't give a good god-damn what you and these lame-ass pricks call it.
Just because you can find it on Google doesn't make it correct.
I'm sure you can be found on Google, hence "not correct".

Furthermore, the only distance from my foot that you should be concerned
about is the one from your ass. If you care to calculate that, I'm in
Valdosta, Georgia.. Come get some. Unless you are too fucking tired.

Hopefully this is a public fucking post.

SunnyB the stooooooopid hilbilly sister-fucker wiped the rot of his
sisters crotch off his chin and went on sniffing his finger before blurting:

So, you would like me to beleive that you know more about the matter
referred to as 'thermal grease' than the fellows at overclockers.com or
maximum pc magazine or pc world magazine or websters friggin dictionary? Or
about.com or whatis.com or techweb.com or thermacore.com or or techware labs
ooooorrrrrrrrrrr

HOW ABOUT INTEL????!!!!
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/guides/24920401.pdf or AMD??"?!!!!

Yup. You made a complete ass of yourself again in public on the same
subject. Turn off daddys computer and go down to the park and play with the
other hillbilly know-nothings.

I am certainly too tired to wipe the snot from the nose of some 12 year old
hillbilly who just couldn't resist the lure of the pretty lights of daddy's
computer. and indeed I would hate to get my ass filthy from close proximity
to your toe-jam eating, finger-sniffing, slimy, unwashed, disgusting
hillbilly self, let alone physical contact with any defined parts, you nasty
little hillbilly bastard.

You can go play now. Toddle off.

 

And I thought I got pissed when I was proved wrong

 

So whats Thermal Interface material then?

thanks

a language-challenged noob

 

I think that's a generic term for "Anything" that provides a thermal
interface..
so the "thermal pads" and Artic Silver are both Thermal interfaces
right? heh

 

Ahhh ok. Thx )

And thermonuclear global warfare?

 

Wrong.
It's Thermal Interface Material.
And may be a compound, pad, paste, epoxy, polymer or others depending on the
properties.

Now that both your feet are in your mouth, chomp down hard.

 

Radiation alone should be fine - you don't require a medium for any
"interfacing".
