Humm.. I wonder if anyone has tried this...

[jfall]

Instead of using a pencil or a conductive pen to overclock a tbird/duron, has anyone ever though of using Artic Silver Thermal Compound? I have a bit left over, and I was thinking that it would probably do a good job?

If you look at the site, they say that this compound was design specifically for Thermal disapation, and not to conduct electricity....

 

[jfall]

Well..if there is silver in it, then it would conduct electricity wouldn't it?

Conductivity is listed as negligable, so I guess that answers your question.

Well, just try it for yourself and let us know how it goes.

Find someone that still has a tube of copper compound. They were all the rage before Arctic Silver showed up. I remember the copper stuff to be HIGHLY conductive.
