I experimented little with thermal transfer and preassure. I had a cold copper pipe and a one warm, when i had them thouching eachother with no pressure there where virtualy no heat transfer at all. When pressure where given there where significantly more heat transfer..
This experiment gave me the understanding of that even hard materials nead to be pressed together in order to exchange temperature properties effectively.
Now, how much pressure can a core cope with? (amd xp2000)
