Subscribed, love your content :)
There is a whole lot more to Mr. V than meets the eye. I would like to know what u do for a living. U have a very high calibered education gathered either from university or years working in the field of science. One really smart cookie. Thank u!!
Thanks Bill. I feel humble. I have quite a few people ask me the same question about what I do for a living. I would like to talk about it one day when the timing is right. It's gonna be an interesting topic. :D
Household ingredients really?.. yeah leme just get my aluminum and zinc oxide out the fridge hand me the boron nitride out the oven please
Lol
Found your channel and so glad I have. You offer so much tech info and on a budget which most of us here fall in that category. Subscribed and binge watching thank you so much Sir.
I have made a diy thermal paste from silicone oil and graphite powder. It worked great. My laptop is happy and don't overheat
where i find this silicone oil?
el polvo de grafito donde lo conseguiste? que malla es? tengo grafito malla 320 pero no mejora, sube mas la temperatura 🌡️
Great idea is just little fishy wen it was made the edit shot 😊
Great stuff. More accessible to me than the "Tech Ingredients" recipe. Hope you can do a followup some time down the road. See how it holds up over time.
Well how it's going by now ? It ages well ?
Be careful petroleum jelly melts easily
Its midnight, microcenter didnt pack my thermal paste, and i need to get this pc made tonight. Thank you. Now i can get that done.
I grew up with Zinc Oxide then in 2020 I needed some new Sunblock and none had it. I finally found some, but it has Titanium Oxide in it as well. The Zinc Oxide was only 4% too for a 50spf tube. Knowing now that Baby Diaper Rash has a high concentration of Zinc Oxide in it that I now know what to get (still check the label though). Thank you.
I wish we were neighbors, we could have a lot of fun and laughs together.
Agreed.
Creepy
Funny guy, he is... Bet he'd be great at fishing... 😁🎣
😅
Hahaha😂 Very nice.
Nice video! I was looking around my house and found some dielectric grease for my car. It might be better than vaseline since it's meant to withstand higher temps. I also have a small tube of graphite lubricant for locks. All I need now is that sunscreen.
Wait you can use dielectric grease instead of petroleum jelly? I surprisingly don’t have petroleum but I do have dielectric grease
Man, you are such a gem. I've watched tons of your videos, and this one is extra special for the jackassery I wasn't expecting at the beginning.
I really love your video. Your explanations and details are awesome. Great production. Thanks
Have you thought about swapping Vaseline for Super Lube? It says it has an operating temp up to 450F (230C). I checked silicon grease too, operating temp up to 180C. This might seem like overkill for semi-conductor heatsinks but useful for 3D printer heat cartridge bridging to the heat block. Thanks for the info & video!
Having done a little more research on grease alternatives, when using dielectric grease like super lube for high temperature applications (like 3D printer hot end compound):
"Dielectric grease produces formaldehyde when used in high temperatures and can irritate the respiratory system and eyes. Always consider under what temperatures you will use the grease before applying."
Great insight brother. 😊🌎✨
@nf_ms depends on your application. I went with boron nitride for my printer but that's no use for CPUs. Petroleum jelly is a Vaseline alternative
Nice presentation, good information, no lengthy bla bla bla.
Well done.
OMG @vuaeco, i just glanced thru your vids. Where you been all my life???? I love it!!!!! Im gonna have so much fun with all these projects and diy myself. Lol😂😂😂. Thanks dude. TYTYTY
Great, thank you!
Greetings from Stockholm Sweden Europe 🙂🇸🇪
That pearl joke is a Gem.
Very nice! You can bet I'll be trying this. Thank you for sharing.
Did it work well?
Thank you for this recipe 😋 my kids really loved it and they said that it looks like "squid goo"
Awesome, thanks for the science info, have ordered some graphite powder for my 500w led chips!! Although will have to take a trip to the shops for nappy rash cream. A+ video
Nicely said @vueco!!!🤗🤗🤗... You surely proved it. I too wish you were my neighbor😛😛😛. I love finding TH-camrs and DIYers like you who shares their ideas and show proof that it works. Keep it up. Im following you now. TY🙋
Interesting, 10 degrees delta is a lot! I wonder how the other properties of your paste matches up against. You should stress test the paste and produce it if it gives you good results!
my thoughts exactly. the question is how long will the paste last.
IT WORKS! its even better i have an 11t gen intel core i5 and it stays in 35 to 40 celcius at 100 percent load woth using more effective that buying an mx-5 thermal paste!!
Hola que tal buenas tardes, podrias compartir que materiales utilizaste? por que compre grafito en polvo y no mejora en nada :(
@@lalobross3867 Buenos días/tardes/noches, utilicé un lápiz de grafito, óxido de aluminio, aceite vegetal, óxido de zinc y una licuadora para mezclar todo. Te recomiendo que le pongas un poco de vaselina porque se derrite cuando se calienta, por lo que quedará sucio, ¡espero que hagas una mejor! (Lo siento si mi español es terrible, estoy usando un traductor:( )
Great idea, thanks! Only thought I have is that, in my experience at least, petroleum jelly becomes very thin and runny , almost liquid-like at sustained higher temps. So may want to watch closely for any squeeze-out after sustained high heat loads ( especially for spring loaded heat sinks.).
Re: 4056! hacking, I came up against that a while back. You can use a resistor outside the spec shtetl range for higher current, to a degree at least. Needed beefy heat sink , and it helps to get the input voltage closer to CV voltage (4.2). I used a shottky diode to take the 5v supply down maybe 0.5 to 0.7 ish volts under load , taking some load off the 4056. But to get the current up substantially, I also ended up using 2 or 3 4056 in parallel. This works fine and in fact there are many charging boards and other chinese electronic products using charging ic in parallel. I paralleled the module input and outputs, as well as the chip pins for the two LED indicator circuits, removing LEDs on all but one of the modules .
Thin and runny is actually good because it will fill in the gap between the 2 metal surfaces and that's what you want. Problem is, people use too much of it thinking more is better. It's not the case here.
Great idea on the TP4056 hacking. One problem with adding a resistor before it gets to the unit is that it will add more to the load of your 5V power supply. That means to achieve 2A charging output, you'll need much more to compensate for the schottky diode.
@@vuaeco Sorry meant the resistor that programs charge current , as described in datasheet. (not in line with power.) shottky diode in line with power supply, with appropriate current rating and heat sink as required .
the tp4056 is linear. it's basically a smart-ish resistor that burns off whatever voltage needs burning to match the charge /cell voltage and achieve the programmed current, (or 4.2v constant voltage at the end ) . The input power supply current will always be exactly the same as the charging current; there is no DC DC conversion going on with the 4056 . There are other boards out there that have buck converter style conversion, with an inductor etc.. more efficient less heat, but more expensive. check out TP5100 based board, for example ..
Basically thermal grizzly kryonaut is thin and runny at high temp and thats why it's a best spreading thermal paste, best performing. Manufacturer advises us to reapply every 3-12 months depends on the usage because the thin and runniness has a cost of squeezing out to the sides. As a result you almost no longer have thermal paste between your cooler plate and CPU. It's especially nasty on laptops and GPUs. I opened my GTX 1070 to find that the die and copper plate was almost squeeky clean.
@@Underground.Rabbit Interesting. In that case I imagine it isn't electrically conductive otherwise it could start shorting pins out after it has oozed out. That was my concern here - since any oozing would be of electrically conductive material..
Awesome! I think it will be even better using baby rash cream. Follow up maybe? Great video!
I would assume there is some sort of brake fluid or vehicle grease aswell that you can use. They are made for high heats and meant to go on all sorts of metals and surface, and are certainly oily and goopy forevever
Wieder eine tolle Idee! Gerade wenn man es benötigt, hat man es nicht zu Hause. Danke für deinen Tipp!
Took my house inside out couldn't find a zinc based product, then i googled zinc oxide and realized i have a container full of that shit in my room i use it for body odor we call it zax(zakh) thanks for the great video m8
Any updates?
Thermal paste are very expensive in my country, i wanna ask what if we add charcoal? I saw some did that! What's the benefits?
Also, what about motor oil instead of Vaseline?!
Better you use pencil and good quality graphite
Thank you. I needed this intro.
Long time no see, man. How's the Chevy Spark? Do you still have it?
wowww cool bro.information is great
i use sudocrem an irish brand nappy cream its ingredients are zinc oxide. lanolin. benzyl alcohol. benzyl benzoate. benzyl cinnamate. but it has worked well for me
i use zinc oxide aluminium oxide and vaseline .never thought of graphene thanks
Hey V, you can use a syringe 💉 that is used for children medication. You cab probably get it free at your local Walgreens, if you don't have some laying around. And an a wire cap for a spill preventer. I actually use those for my 2 part epoxy. Works great 👍🏼. Great find with this thermal paste brother.
I'm doing the same with chargers and testers for 18650s. How about silicone with graphite when you don't want the heatsink to slide off? Water based lotion might work because it's said that water speeds up the curing in pure silicone.
That's so impressive to see the temperature difference between both thermal pastes but could you tell me that, will it last longer as the market thermal paste. like somehow 4 to 5 years? please reply to my words.🙏
You can get high purity zinc oxide at an art store. It's used as a white pigment for paints. Get the dry pigment, not the paint. I don't know if titanium dioxide will work.
it will cost more than buying thermal paste LOL
@kimochi3140 . No it wouldn't
@@E-BikingAdventures how much,
@@KimoKimochii about $5 for a 4oz jar of pure zinc oxide powder.
Instead of graphite,use copper powder see what happens or diamond dust from a jewelry store mixed together with graphite grease from a electrical store.(I'm over do it a little bit)
Copper powder is electrically conductive, so graphite is safer for the case of GPUs
Thank you. I learned something new today.
I tried to add like 0.5gm or graphite powder on a cheap thermal paste with caution that it will lose it's electrical resistance. I need a reply in case of this is actually dangerous .
Great video... How much time you thiink ikt will still working?? We need another video for that :)
Bless you !
You are genius
I do not understand one thing .
Vaseline doesn't melt when the temperature goes up ?
Yes it's will melt. Suncream is better
a bottle of antiseize is fairly cheap @ auto store. I believe it's graphite but they also make it w/copper. Both are conductive so don't get it on your traces.
What about it's performance over time? Last time I made thermal paste with vaseline it dried out in less than a year.
God that's absolutely the coolest thing that I have ever seen, very punk
Could you esteem the thermal conductivity of that paste? I'm going to try it for myself if it is worth the shot
Its probably betwen 17 w k its highly conductive
I just found your channel! I'd like to know something????
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE???
God you could have made my life so much easier had I found your videos sooner...
I'm off to smash my fingers with a hammer. Lol
hi there i had the vaseline and graphite but the sunscreen was only0.99% zinc oxide and it has 5.0% zinc oxide and 7.5% octinoxate which ive never heard of im nervous and havent turned on my computer waiting til i can figure this out im gonna try and google that stuff but i dont understand conductivity anyway so it might be a waste of time if anyone could help i would grately appreciate it. thanks for the video!
What would you use if you had some that was on the shelf for over a year and wasnt as liquid as before?
Thank you sir
Perfectly delivered joke!! 🤣🤣
This video made my day 😁
You can use sudocream it has a lot of zinc oxide
I love this - DIY ftw! I need to look around and see if you have any videos about DIY thermal pads. I have some 1.5mm aluminum that I'm considering cutting up into shims for a heatsink. I'm not sure about the conductivity issue because I'm applying it to components on a PCB that aren't typically covered.
Thank you, I no longer know. I did the same as your steps in the video, then nothing happened on the first laptop because I don’t actually use it much. As for the second laptop, which is the one I used, it no longer wants to stay running. Can you show me a solution or would I like and prefer to buy a better thermal cooling paste? Thank you for disabling the laptop I use!!!👏👍
Great video
best vidio ever there is no tech place nearby and i dont have credit card so that is rly usefull
I have a question is this conductive to electricity?
Thank you for the video. Would it be possible to use just Zinc Oxide with jelly? I actually have a little zinc oxide left from my kids school project that I could use. If not, I will just buy graphite and the other ingredients as you stated. Thank you for the great videos
@@gackhuhn4868 thank you for the help and reply. I will just buy the ingredients you used. Again, thank you for the help!!
@@gackhuhn4868 silver and zinc are conductives
@@marcosbatista1029 yeah thats why i recomend to not use it for cpu cooling
I love this guy 😅😅😅 so amazing.
Graphite is a very good conductor to electricity. This should be a concern. The idea is to use materials which are good conductors of heat and poor conductors of electricity.
That said, the Zinc Oxide and the Jelly should serve as temporary solution. Heavy no to the addition of graphite.
Goodluck!
For what need zinc oxide, why we can't just use graphite and vasiline ?
Cuz otherwise it'd be too runny and you want a balanced concentration
Grate sharing thank you!!. How is the performance of the homemade paste after one year?
I noticed that battery has rust. I have threw away many rusted 18650 cells that appear to hold charge and there is no puncture leaks. Don't know if its venting or from getting wet. mostly pulled from power tool batteries. So I assume they got wet in the rain while working. but I don't want to take the chance so I end up recycling them.
can you comment on the longevity of your homemade thermal paste? how long does it last?
great video !
Question is, how long would this paste last until the next replacement?
Can't wait to cool my iPhone 7 with a stock Intel cooler and this homemade thermal paste
this paste is good but not recommended for beginner because aluminium/silver as good conductor so that material have a high risk for beginner ...
sorry for discover this late but what if mixing graphite powder with thermal paste and thermal glue does it going to make the heat transfer better ?
The melting point of Vaseline is lower than that of silicone grease. Wouldn't that be a problem?
If it really performs 10c better I would absolutely use this and test it for let’s say a year. If it ist still cooler I would start to sell it.
I had mixed vaseline with tooth paste 😅 Still better than nothing .
Thank you
For Silikon Grease you can get easy Liqui Moly in a tube. I have it =)
Can i use batteries as replacement for graphite or pencil?
And overall how long it would last? Thank u so much btw :)
yeah i used carbon rod from battery be carful though very conductive
Amazing video you deserve a sub
this is a great video , thank you
Can we use other cream that have a big percentage of zinc inside? Because I don't have sunscream
You are amazing thank you
hello very interesting stuff.
i was curious is your pc still running on this thermal paste?
and also using graphine and the other metals, doesnt that make ur thermal paste conductive?
Yes, my PC is still running after 1 year. And yes, this thermal paste is conductive so you have to be careful when using it.
@@vuaeco what you mean by careful? Smal quantities of paste ?
@@marcosbatista1029 don't let it get on your motherboard or it will die
Just use Plumbers Silicone Grease it works just as good as Thermal grease.
Even better if you mix in a bit of Graphite Powder in it .
Only 9 months post this video but QUESTION: How's your mix holding up, is it working?
Month 10
I hope this can be a year project
Well he not answer yet
@@marcosbatista1029 He did answer someone else who asked the same thing - it's good after a year
100% agree. i wouldn't risk destroying my 3K custom build PC/Workstation on a hack thermal paste. I also like to save my beautiful manly finger nails. lol
Nah i if you got 3000$ pc then go buy some thermal past this video is for potato pc that there cpu won't get more then 15 Watt of power if your cpu is like 30 w then go buy some thermal past
But graphite is also a good conductor of electricity so it can cause a electric?
isn't graphite electrical conductive?
how long does this paste last?
I would guess 6months
Thanks this is cool
Hi Bro, can I used Vaseline and graphite from dry battery cell and sunblock cream please guide
are the temps still good?
I don't want the FBI to knock on my door, soooo I will pass thank you.
No wonder my Mum said not to use sunscreens
You could use copper paste, no problem.
Thanx. :)
I mixed my thermal paste with graphite powder and it works just fine with my PC. I was just worried maybe overtime the graphite will conduct electricity that can cause to short circuit.
Is it still working well?
@@scrumptiousjdp yeah, but I do not recommend it.
0:41
how did u know this info about factory made thermal paste ?
and why they use aluminum oxide not using copper oxide which it have high thermo conductivity than aluminum and zinc ?
The shape of the aluminum/zinc oxide particles favors their use for this application. It turns out to be more efficient even though it has a lower thermal conductivity
Thanks Dude. Off to Walmart for some Diaper Rash Cream
only 65 degrees peak on a 5600x with a stock cooler
@vuaeco, I wish you were around the corner from my house. Lol. Anyway, Im wondering if could help me. I have a Sony vaio SVE151J13L. I would like to upgrade the CPU, but was not able to find any online info. Do you think it's possible? And if it is, which CPU would be the best to use? I hope you can help...
what would you add to make an adessive ?
to use liquid vaseline instead is a bad idea?
