Post Bye Thermal Grease! Hello... Nano Tubes?

Hey guys. I was thinking about you overclockers in this forum when I read an article similar to this in PC World. Sounds interesting, what do you guys think?

Hmm, any external web links? I really can't dig up too much extensive information on this. Sounds intresting though.

I keyworded "carbon nanotubes cooling" into google and got quite a few links. I don't really feel like listing them here, so you check em' out yourself if you want some more info.

the best thing is to eliminate the need for a thermal compound at all... which would be to lap the processor and heatsink. if one cared enough you could just sand the thing down to 5000 grit. i sanded mine to 2500 grit... creating an ultra flat surface and almost eliminating the need for any thermal paste at all.

He is talking about sandpaper, Sandpaper is measures in "grit" the bigger the number the more fine the sandpaper is.

The way "grit" is measures is actually how many little peices of sand are in each inch, or maybe centimeter, I'm not 100% sure, but its one of those units.

isn't it in micrometers? it's that 'µm' unit thingy.
