Is the "T-Bird Spacer" will help decreasing the proc. temp ?

[Qzruh]

Hello,

I saw on 3Dcool.com, the name is T-Bird/Duron Spacer, made by pure chopper, to fill the empty gap between processor and heatsink, so make the contact area larger.

Is it good ?? anybody using it ? please give your the result...


thx in advance

try doing a search for it... they talked it into the grave awhile back... most feel its a waste of money...

All it does is stabilize the heatsink on the core of the procesor, to lessen the chances of you cracking/chipping the core.
It serves no other purpose.
It probably won't help your cooling either.

What Viperoni said,

and,

Think about this. The shim touches a warm heatsink on one side, and ceramic substrate(cool substrate) on the other. THe shim gets "warmed" up by the heatsink, and may warm up the Substrate(probably very little, but it would negate any potential cooling gain, as it would be small if there was any).

Not to mention AMD recommends against shims.
