Thermal Paste?
Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2009 9:04 pm
(I posted this here since thermal paste is kind of more computer related than xbox related.)
A friend of mine got 3 red rings, and he has no warranty, I flashed his drive in the past so I figured I may as well attempt to fix his xbox.
I just wanted to know a little about the specs of thermal paste?
Am I looking for a high or low number for heat exchange? I assume Thermal Impedance means Thermal resistance? Again am I looking for a high or low number?
I have found these specs on another paste aswell...
The first one is a 15g container, and the second is a 1g syringe, which one is better, the container is a much better value, but is it decent quality?
Edit: Also found this:
Thats like 5 dollars CAD for 2g so its pretty much the same price as everything ive found so far, but much different stats...
Found 12g of artic silver:
I have arctic silver in my comp, I remember buying the paste for the comp tech at my work to when he was replacing my mobo.
