sony tells cpu's to stay frosty working on alternative to t. compound

thermal compound has been one of the staples of modern pc's single the dawning of the millenium its been cooling cpu's the world over. today sony's chemical R&D division debuted a paper thin sheet which has already started setting paces matching (or beating) many of the generic compounds pre-builts use (even their own) by a degree or two.

cpu 0 is being cooled by the same compound sony uses in its laptops

cpu1 is being cooled by their sheet

the sheet also has longer lifespan than compound

Now, THAT is a very good thing to make Sony :) I think Ill see if I can find some of those when I need to do some changing.

That's cool. Good on Sony for ending the thermal paste arguments the world over. :)
