Looks pretty sweet, but only offered with Vista installed. Deal breaker.

IBM's thermal paste cooling innovations detailed

Mar 23rd 2007 8:37AM on Engadget

Where does TFA cite "heat particles"?

Thermal paste is a liquid medium filled with solid particles that have high thermal conductivity. IBM says that the particles become non-uniformly distributed during the process of pressing the heatsink down on top of the paste, due to the complicated flow of a filled paste in a constrained area.

The IBM invention just seems to be a way to pattern the bottom of the heat sink to facilitate flow, giving a more uniform distribution of the filler particles - and hence better thermal conductivity in areas that would normally be starved of particles.

Very much an empirical, engineering solution to a subtle rheology problem.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
