you think Liquid Nails would be a good enough conductor of heat?

[onza]

how hot?

 

[AkumaX]

stick it on my northbridge chipset

 

[NokiaDude]

Just don't use it as thermal grease.

 

[dullard]

It is not a very good conductor.

The thermal conductivity of rubber is 0.14 W/mK.
The thermal conductivity of copper is 386 W/mK.

Is that a good enough comparison?

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

You'd be better off wrapping it up in asbestos.

 

[AkumaX]

changed question; i have Liquid Nails

basically i need the heatsink on the northbridge to stay on, good enough?

 

[Orsorum]

I'm so confused.

stick a penny between the HS and the NB. Build up the rubber cement around the penny to bind the HS and NB together, be careful not to get any on the faces of the penny, though.

btw i found the thermal conductivity of it; can someone translate it in layman's terms?

Thermal Conductivity: "C" of 1.56 BTU/hr ft^2 Farenheight

Thermal Coefficient of Expansion: 5.4 x 106 in/in/Farenheight

Just use superglue

may as well be an insulator for what you want it to do.

I would superglue socket7 heatsinks to the voltage regulator heatsink on acers all the time, worked like a charm

Just dont expect to get it off

Superglue works quite well, just a drop in each corner.

Use ASIII or whatever you want in the middle.

thermal epoxy costs very little. why do you just not get that? Hell, the Home Depot I used to work at sold some cheap thermal epoxy for $3.99. I assume it was nowhere near AS, but anything is better.

sweet, thanx everyone

Just weld the damn thing on.

Metals are good conductors there is no metal in liquid nails. I doubt it will conduct heat at all.*
