Default Thermal Talk

i was just wondering like how much dose it really matter when you are playing sub zero cuz i been using that cheap cheap bestbuy dynex thermal stuff
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dynex%26...rmal&cp=1&lp=1

and it didn't seem like made a huge change when i am running LN2 or even Dice

i wish i still have that pix i took with all the thermal i have used and under LN2 it didn't make any diff AT ALL!

so please enlighten me

btw i get those dynex stuff for SUPER cheap so

I have some old thermal compound from 1992 I use and like you, think there is little to be gained except maybe in the case of an air cooler.

Deli style or individually wrapped?

We usually get White American sliced really thin. (Can almost see through it )

It can make a big difference at full LN2 temps. It's probably a non-issue with dry ice.
