Well mine arrived this morning. Also got a strip on T404 from a UK supplier.

Was jsut wondering, whats going to be best for attatching sinks to mosfets? Have a square of 414 and a square of 412, and this strip of T404. I understand the 412 is the best thermally, but the other 2 dont conduct. Is there any risk of shorting when using the 412 tape?

Thanks :D

This stuff doesnt have a massive amount of "stick" seems easily removable tbh... (testing on a heat lamp atm) would fitting from cold help at all? This is will all of the tape tested..... is this gonna be safe to use on a mobo :S?

It is safe to use on a mobo. I sent some to Dreiu and some to SoundX98 and they didn't have any problems that I know of. The whole purpose of thermal tape is to hold it in place BUT BE EASILY REMOVABLE. If you look at the specs on Chomerics website is has a shear strength of something like 50psi. It's not gonna fall off as long as you have everything cleaned properly before applying it.

I got mine yesterday, since my rig is down I'm gonna sink a load of stuff. I done my RAM chips with T414 and the memory 'sinks of my Ti500 (Nice blue colour) and I got some more RAM 'sinks from my other Ti500 so I'm gonna use them on the mosfets.

This stuff is pretty dang cool for being free :)

Ok thanks very much, will get all me sinks cleaned and ready for some grand sinkage laters, once I'm done with the heat transfer testing :D
