Well, I guess you'll smell either burning hazelnut and/or mouldy chocolate a while before it loses all thermal properties and needs replacing...
That, or it will go runny and drip down onto your motherboard!!
jUST FOR CLARITY, i HAVE TO SAY THAT hexus IN NO WAY ENDORSES nUTELLA AS A THERMAL PASTE !!!
(Damn caps lock !)
Cheers, David
Understood but who in hell would use nutella as thermal paste? It's just a jokeOriginally Posted by g8ina
well I think we should....
and marmite too...
and toothpaste
and pesto
i've heard of nutella fans but this is crazy lol
Well, laughing aside, there is no reason why Nutella or any other oily substance shouldn't work.
The best heat transfer is metal to metal, if the two surfaces are perfectly flat and smooth, thermal compound is unnecessary, which is why extreme over lockers lap and polish the two surfaces.
If the surfaces aren't perfectly smooth and flat, then thermal compound fills the microscopic voids in the surfaces and excludes the air that would otherwise be there. Air is a poor heat conductor.
So anything with better thermal conductivity than air, and can fill those voids will do the job.
And Nutella is oil based, and so will do the job, provided and particles cocoa powder for example) doesn't have a detrimental effect in increasing the metal to metal contact.
The secret, as with all compounds, is to apply it very thinly.
Longer term efficiency may depend on how or if it dries out in that essentially sealed environment when the CPU is clamped to the cooler.
Don't think I'll be using it though, I prefer it on my toast!

Tasty rig. That's a sweet way to overclock, but they're obviously nuts.
Sorry
