What do these Thermal Paste specs mean?

[FDTzeng]

Okay I have one tube from an Evercool VGA Chipset cooler that says
Thermal Conductivity: >7.5w/m-k
Thermal Resistance:>0.06 C-in^2/w

Ive also got one from a Vantec VGA Chipset cooler that says
Thermal Conductivity: >4.0w/m-k
Thermal Resistance:>0.06 C-in^2/w

How from my AWESOME deductive skills Im guessing that we want more conductivity thus I should use the paste from Evercool? Someone enlighten me please!

Also would this stuff be better than Intel's thermal pad thingy they have on their stock HSFs?

i beleive the evercool one is better...

3 386DX-25's...12 volts...glue some ln2 and a wicked amount of overclocking and you get a willamantee minus 36 pins, 33.75 million transistors and a couple hundred mhz... 😎

For thermal conductivity: the higher the value the better.

For thermal resistance: the lower the value the better.

In other words the Evercool stuff is the best... and should be as good as Arctic Silver (which also has a thermal conductivity of 7.5 W/mk.

And yes I think it is also better then the default thermal pad.

I love my Delta 60HP 7000 RPM fan that puts out more dB then CFM 😱

Yay finally someone answers me!! Thanks !!

Yeah as svol has said, higher thermal conductivity the better as thermal conductivity = rate of heat transfer according to Fourier's Law

Woah Woah!! nuttybing I didnt ask for the whole damn science course jeez...

lol jk jk =)
