Both Sri Comp and All IT

Can't u use a more meaningful example .. i never shake well box drink from supermarket.......


anyway i guess it works like paint whereby it need to shake well to have the mixture goes well together after a leaving aside for extended period...

like in fluid mechanics,that paste is called dilatant fluid if im not mistaken.the viscosity increase when shear force increase where shear force mean the load applied (like kacau air).same paint like u said...

in other word???

in other words,the paste also a fluid.but we have to apply some force to it like stir or shake before it form to the real form.

get what i mean?or pening2?

i can say that the composition of this thermal paste is quite the same as AS5 / CM Nano fusion, just i think it has lower moisture content than others...furthermore it was sealed in glass containers unlike the tubing sealant in AS5 / CM Nano Fusion.

the drying look of this STG-1 could possible happen if it was exposed towards air for sometime...maybe during packaging / production back in zalman factory or low temperature stored...

if u've found this STG-1 with zero moisture content or 'keras macam batu" inside..then probably it is a faulty one...

just search for reviews of this STG-1 and u can see how actually this thing in it's original semi solid - semi liquid manner

No, it's not good in transfering heat.

ID86, can't u do google?

This Zalman phaste need 'sink in' time?? I read tht AC 5 need 2 weeks ti sink in..

I removed my Zalman HSF from my 7600GE card.. accidently push some of the 'white' thermal paste.. so thermal paste stick all over the small metal component around the core. I used wet cloth to wipe them off, but cant get 100% clean.
If the was some residue stays around those small metals.. will it cause electric shock or fry my card??
2nd question.. i used wet cloth to wipe the card. Izzit okay??

Thanks

If u wiped the paste with normal tissue, or dry cloth, then i think it'll be okay...

But since u're using wet cloth to wipe it out, i don't have a good answer for it...

Kinda scary too...

***Why did u use a wet cloth to wipe it out in the first place?

Cloth not too wet.. last time i read sum1 said only lazy ppl use tissu wo
Becoz the white paste too sticky.. got thin layer residue on surface.. moreover i dont want white paste stay on it b4 i apply ac 5 next time.
Anyway the water will get dry rite??

no, wont do shit, its ceramic, dun bother. dun run ur card, let it dry off, make sure its fcuking dry, say 24h, dun kacau, then do as normal..lesson, dun use wet things lerr!

Next time try to clean off the part using toothpick and then follow by cotton that use by girl during cosmetic ... currently just leave ur card in one piece for another day or two to be safe......

Okay. Thanks : )
I left my grafic to get dry >3days arldy.. i only scared the residue white paste will demage my card.
I guess i wont use wet cloth again (last time i always use wet cloth to wipe my graphic card's board to get rid of dust)

nextime use cloth and alchohol IMO.safer....u can remove the excess paste using cotton bud + alcohol

Oh ya.. i used alcohol too... wipe the core and the component arround it. But i worried i will 'eat' the core.. becoz the core is like plastic material.

that's y ppl lap their heatsinks to get rid of the oxide layer

is it have other methods other than lapping to remove oxide layer or dont want it to form?

abg moderno,if the paste become "keras",is it any solvent (pelarut) that can bring it back to the exact form likeu said semi solid-semi liquid?

Now this is what we call "Good Question"...

I was about to ask the same question oso...

So, moderno, can you answer this question?
How to make it not hard again if it's hard?
