Laslo420 Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 i didn't have any regular computer thermal glue... so decided to get some that is used on cars, or used on other household products. its called J.B. Weld, it is a great conductor because it has metal in it and it will transfer the heat really well, at least it did for me,. but there is a downside to this, the name J.B. Weld, it might actually weld your heatsinf to your Cpu. but it wqorked great for me because iwas had temps at 58 'C idle and it dropped to 44 'C. it takes 12 to set in Without the Computer ON!! so its kind of a risk type pf thermal glue.

ARE U NUTS? How are you even gonna remove the HSF off that cpu? Nice test I hope you used a machine you dont care about yea u could say that its a risk type of glue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 I would NEVER do that. 44 degrees is no that great of temps, I idle at 36 or less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangar Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Hummmmmm !!! Â I idle at 25, and "WELD" it will !!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Hummmmmm !!! I idle at 25, and "WELD" it will !!!! You just epoxied your h/s to your cpu. How does it do under load? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reidhardt Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Whoa... did you read anything before doing that? I gotta read up on most everything just so I can be certain I won't **** up, like it looks you did here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 I do not believe that CPU and heatsink will ever come apart without destroying both, I have used JB Weld before its great to permanetly fix something! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxcesDenyed Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 44C at idle is still definitely not good like the others said. i mean i get 41C at load. i would take that off ASAP. thats if you can still get it off. then get some thermal grease, its not expensive.

AYoKoNA Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 i would take that off ASAP. thats if you can still get it off. Nothing will remove that weld... Hes royaly scroed Well hopefully it was just some test rig and not a crazy machine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 The motherboard, CPU, and Heatsink are now permanently attached . 44C is not that good. I get 39C @ full load, and I just put my heatsink on today, so the Ceramique isn't even working at it's best yet. I expect to get about 37C once it is fully set. The SLK-900A is the best Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxcesDenyed Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 well i wasnt sure how well its holds. i just knew weld is not a good word when its comes to cpus and heatsinks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
