Koolance Thermal Encapsulate..
Koolance HD waterblocks come with a 2 part resin thermal encapsulte material to fill the gaps between block and HD. It sets to a rubber like state and so is not reusable!
I recently upgraded to sATA and so need more of this stuff but i cant find anywhere in the uk which sells it. I made a few enquiries to uk suppliers of koolance asking if they wud consider stocking it as there must be a demand for it and got no replies.
So ive done a bit of research and i think ive found some suitable material but im not sure about the encapsulate constant and thermal conductivity good enough.

Do you think one of these is suitable? They come as two-part resin packs so no measuring is needed!
Koolance do sell replacement packs but they cost $15.99 + $40p&p = £+38 and the packs are small!
Many thanx
and another idea, if i was to get a larger amount and spread it over the bk off my motherboard so it makes contact with the motherboard tray would that improve cooling? My system is fully watercooled with only one 92mm fan (very slow) blowing just below the cpu. It an Abit AT7-MAx2 and the system thermistor is postitioned right next to the northbridge, which is stupid to put it there because originally the northbridge fan wud be blowing on it so giving false temp readings, and it shows temps of 44C. Its near plenty of coils and Mosfets. Would this reduce the temperature?
Thanx for any comments!

I would of thought being closer to these would create a higher temp in that area... these things are playing with volts afterall :p
Re: Re: Koolance Thermal Encapsulate..
i ordered part no 552-668 afterall.
well fast delievery! ordered at about 6:30pm yesterday and it came next day at ten!!
i spent two days surfin various shops to find a suitable replacement material and found RS (www.rswww.com) from an american manufacturers destributors page.
Gonna test this material later this week so i will get bk and let u know how it performs!

lol yeah i know, i was trying to think of a way of reducing the system temp of my comp due to the fact it fully watercooled and doesnt have the best flow thru the case. Only the psu's fan ejecting air and a side case fan modded so it silent to blow in. I meant will the idea reduce the temp not would the close mosfits reduce the temp! Ive already epoxyed heatsinks onto them too.
Ta
So, what about that RS water encapsulate?
Hi Igor.
You haven't posted any results, so I hope you didn't fry your harddisc and break your pc :p
Do you have any pics of the result? Please post them if you do.
Cheers
