kristos · 05-03-2004, 08:15 AM

I was talking to a friend of mine about wanting to make my first direkt die cooler but he thought I should stear clear of that sort of cooling because he had heard that people who had been using direkt die cooling on their proc's had had their chips dying after about 6 months.

My question is simple

Is this true or can I safely use direkt die cooling without having to fear my chip will die a sudden death after about six months?

And another question about direkt die cooling; I intend to use 2 component glue from the automotive industry but only if it doesn't conduct elektricity. If I test it with a simple multimeter and it doesn't beep, is it safe to use in that case?

Or is that beep test to check for conductivity not waterproof?
