thermal gel for hard drive?
 

anyone know where to get some thermal stuff for hard drives?
Koolance uses some type of thermal gel to put their hard drive block onto hard drives... its like a paste that turns to an almost rubber material when it sets... then you can just peel it off when you want to remove it...
im looking for something like this... or some type of sollution to thermally conduct from my hard drive to block.

A can of 500g of thermal compound would be OK :p
Usually HDs are well sealed so it should be no problem.
(the company next door has an extruder - they use full buckets of copper thermal coumpound - so getting those quantities is easy hehe)

im looking for something NON electrically conductive, AND non messy.

Use regular white silicon based Radio Shack stuff, thats what I would do. You've got such a huge surface area you don't need anything like AS2, normal thermal paste should work fine.

NON messy
i dont wanna have to scrub my hard drives, and (if possible) i want something that will fill a few mm gap (HDblock to the different chips on the controllercard.

What about that pocofoam stuff? I dunno if it ever became commercially available it would be well suited to this sort of thing.

try buying some stuff from Koolance, make up some bs story about you losing some of the thermal stuff they gave you when you bought it

the HDD cooler was meant to cool 2 hard drives, so just get the 2nd kit which i think is that thermal junk.
