Actually, air is a better insulator than the resin, by a factor of at least three (last I checked, could be wrong).

I was just thinking about a nickel plating, like the Intel IHS. Opinions?


AA: it's best to be different for now, until we can sort out all the differences. That's where the WBTA is at: wait and see...

I'm still going to go ahead with my plans to run test series on 10 by 10mm and 12 by 13mm, for a number of blocks. I should have my chiller remotely operated within a week or two.
