I worked for a competing distributor and Panasonic came to our facility to give us training. In fact the people in the video were actually the ones giving the training. The particular pad you were using is really only designed for lateral thermal transfer not thermal transfer through the sheet. In fact their page specifically lists heat diffusion as the main use for this pad. They have a separate product described as Graphite-PAD is a thermal interface material (TIM) that compatibly obtained excellent thermal conductivity in thickness direction (Z-axis direction). You may want to redo with one of the z axis pads.
What's the difference between lateral and normal thermal transfer? I'm new to all these, and frankly I'm looking to get a pad to attach a heatsink/fan to cool my camera externally.
Graphene reaches its highest thermal (and electrical) conductivity across the plane the carbon atoms are layered. In this application, you are only using a fraction of this material's capabilities
Leon Wolff it would be better off with a larger surface and combine with thermal paste in my opinion, that way the distribution of heat can be more effective for the cooling tower to manage
@Thunder Life it's material, the structure only transmits in one direction If you wanted to make it vertical, it would not hold its structure, and you would have to add a binder to keep them aligned, removing the heat transfer benefit
@Thunder Life It is due to the nanostructure of the material itself. The transport properties in plane are much better because the waves (electrons, phonons, etc) travel more easily between the carbons atoms (through the valence bonds). There is some vacuum in the z direction (out of plane) between the different graphene sheet (which are forming graphite). Those are only maintained together with VdW interactions. The transport properties in this direction are therefore less interesting (by several order of magnitude). Physical engineering student here

We actually use this in Central offices.

What if someone made a CPU cooler with sheets of this stuff on the fins? A air CPU cooler works by having the heat pipes move the heat away from the CPU, and then the heat is spread along the fins of the cooler, which are cooled by the air moving over them. More heat pipes in a CPU cooler is better because it allows the heat to be more evenly distributed on the fins, since the heat concentrates more on the fins closer to where the heat pipes are. Since these sheets are supposed to transfer heat well, putting them on the fins of a CPU cooler may allow the heat from the heat pipes to spread more evenly along the fins, mimicking the increased cooling of having additional heat pipes. Can someone tell me if I'm theoretically right? Upvote to get Linus to test this.
This also depends on how good the interface material between the fins and the heat pipes is, as if that's the limiting factor then more heat pipes is the only answer.
Well, the issue is that you cant just solder graphite or graphene, to any heatpipe, like you can to with aluminium and copper, with a special solder. So it wouldn't have a proppper heat transfer anyway
The reason a lot of heatpipes are copper and the fins are aluminum is because while copper conducts heat more easily, aluminum radiates heat more easily into the air. These pads may be able to spread the heat out along a fin, but if it can't radiate the heat into the air, it'd be useless.
You know i'd love to know if it works better with a lapped IHS and cooler plate, so you know it is getting solid contact & minimize the distance as much as possible Specially with how terrible the IHS on my 3950x was when i lapped it, i want the thermal pads to work!
As far as I'm aware, the reason this didn't work is because graphene conducts heat horizontally along the plane of the crystal lattice and actually isn't that good at conducting vertically through the different stacked layers of graphene
What Linus doesn't know is that, that material doesn't have the same heat transfer in all axis of its chrystal structure. Laterally, it performs great. Close to diamond. But vertically, it performs close to copper (about 1/5th the heat transfer laterally) So, he might as well be using a thin sheet of copper.

Something like this would work better under the die than on top of it so it would spread heat across the die better.
@@moribell1083 It will probably be soon. Making 1nm or close to 1nm die process chips are going to be made with carbon nanotubes.

@@plebiansociety So you're saying we could sand/polish the contact points to a mirror finish (I'm guessing 10,000 grit) and not need paste? Have they tried that yet?

You know those gauge blocks you can use to measure things, where you have to slide them together and they basically stick to each other by a lack of air between them? What if you did that.
The biggest problem with it would be the fact that graphene is a great thermal conductor along the plane of each carbon layer, however the thermal conductivity between those layers is poor.

When Linus said "can I do a 360" I thought "there's no way he can do that, they are gonna edit that or something" and then baaaam he does it, fucking amazing, what a display of skills, a true legend!
The problem with this is that it only conducts heat really well in the x & y planes, not the z plane. It'd be really good for spreading heat out, but not for conducting it into another object above it. One thought I had was direct-die cooling with a waterblock, where this pad was on the waterblock and you used liquid metal between the direct CPU die and the thermal pad on the waterblock. liquid metal would do it's job to get heat away from the CPU, and the pad would act as a big-ass, super-thin IHS strapped to the waterblock.
Greetings. ruclips.net/video/gNRnrn5DE58/видео.html I had this nice video in my recommendeds earlier today. Maybe it will be a problem to actually mount the perfectly flat heatsink and IHS together the normal way. It looks like gauge blocks have to be kinda slided together. I will definitely try this when my workshop has evolved. :D godspeed
Linus: "[dual tower coolers] are so unwieldy" Alex: "But that's, like, part of the appeal tho..." Me, looking at the D15 cooling my Ryzen 5 2600X: "someone had to say it"
I think they already did that. Although that was powdered diamond. Riley did it I think. The video was different things as thermal compound. Can't remember the name. They even used a toothpaste.....
we actually use graphite tape as a thermal transfer in glass blowing. Cept its cut into a roll like tape. i tear a bit off and use it to keep temps the same between to pieces of glass that are touching but not meant to be melted together.
No matter how conductive it is it won’t increase cooling compared to not having an extra layer present. The purpose of thermal paste/pads is to fill the gaps between two separate metal objects, like the IHS and the cooler.
@@CoconutMigrating I'm thinking more for moving heat throughout the fins. That's similar to the idea of using it to move heat on the nose cone of space ships on reentry. not to increase the dissipation. The concept being airflow not hitting all areas on fins equally.
Get the version without adhesive, ive had it on my 2950X for over a year and it is overclocked to the max and doesn't go over 72C, it also really really helps to have a flat surface, this pad is thermally conductive on the horizontal plane more than the Z plane.
Linus: “This Thermal compound can cool with 1950W/m*k!” Me: I wanna buy that!! But might be too expensive! Website: Here is another episode of “I can buy the sh*t Linus shows”
Have you guys considered using both at the same time? My hypothesis is that the liquid molecules can, because of their fluidity, go into the small imperfections on the CPU's integrated heat spreader; and the imperfections into the CPU coolings solutions contact area. So if you use a small amount of the liquid on the CPU, and put the PGS on top of it, and then put a small amount of the liquid over the sheet, and then mount the cooling solution on top of it. This seems like its worth trying.

rawpie Comparing any desktop component to any laptop component is dumb tbh. My 970m gets to 95 degrees. But it’s also a laptop. Desktop cards aren’t supposed to get anywhere near that ever, plus they’re way bigger and are in a giant open box basically where air can circulate.
hey Linus, since this pad conducts the heat laterally, I think it might work much better if you will stick it to the cpu and then, use some thermal compound on top of it, so that the generated heat will be transferred laterally very quickly
The craftmanship and elegance with which Linus applied the pad to the heat sink, i wonder the CPU didn't shut down immediately. It looks like a friken moon crater landscape ....
Same. I remember thinking about my own PC's thermal paste and thinking "wow, so it won't get old!", considering doing it for convenience since thermal paste kinda scares me due to my inexperience with it. How time flies.
Graphite sheet has two types of conductivity, horizontal / vertical. Of course it is in datasheet, but Linus would never say in the beginning. Because you know why.
@@РусяОгризок because there would be no video. It's a physical property. It's a fun video, but with sufficient information it was absolutely arbitrary.
It's called anisotropic heat conduction. Basically, because of the microscopic structure of layered graphite, the carbon rings have véry good conduction to their neighbouring, networked carbon rings. Alas the inter-layer conductivity is quite poor, because there is some sort of (electron) vacuum in between subsequent layers. So basically, we create giant networked sheets of carbon rings, that are tightly coupled. These tight couplings conduct heat very well. But inter-carbon-network conductivity when stacked upon each other is very poor.
Interestingly, this would be solved by using diamond instead, because diamond does have vertical interlinking between the carbon atoms aswell, e.g. i.stack.imgur.com/zytVR.jpg . Sadly, this is practically not really feasible.
Wouldn't even consider this for cooling electronics, but did use this as a Tim for mounting a heatsink on an large bore AR barrel (this allows for longer periods of sustained fire, as excessive heat will cause malfunctions or even catastrophic failure). Thermal epoxy was used to fill the gaps on the sink/radiator side, and this makes for an extremely durable and heat tolerant Tim, especially suited to applications where longevity matters far more than thermal conductivity. It does become single-use at that point though. The barrel radiator/sink in reference here is the "Thermal Dissipator" from JP Enterprises, for those curious.
I'm waiting for the day when they integrate some sort of heat pipe system or some sort of thermal transfer mechanism right into the die connected to the IHS
That monitor @10:03 is DISGUSTINGLY large but i LOVE it. The curve is a huge plus too! Not practical for much of what I do but movies would look insane. Makes total sense for creating tech vids though!

Not surprising it has similar thermal conductivity as diamond since they're both near perfect carbon crystals
10:47 “You will *loose* any unsaved information in all applications.”
since the problem is probably the contact surface being uneven
...
you could put some thermal paste on it to bridge the gap
wait.
The biggest problem with it would be the fact that graphene is a great thermal conductor along the plane of each carbon layer, however the thermal conductivity between those layers is poor.
This would actually be a cool concept to test, since we know that the die actually heats unevenly.
Linus: we don’t know how this is made
1 sec later: *explains rocket science*
Made from graphite and is then flattened and they changed the atoms or something like that into a hexagonal shape (I think).
The real Question: What happens when Linus drops it?
Very very slowly fall or float lol
It's linus proof, the creator made it so that it would gently float to the floor.

Was anyone else jump scared by how quickly linus starts talking? I hadn't even finished clicking the video?
The link is never at the bottom when they talk about other RUclips channels and say the video link is below.
first half of the video - linus excitement is like a kid before unwrapping their christmas gift.
last half of the video - linus reaction after he unwrap his gifts

The answer is always "Yes" while picturing Giorgio A. Tsoukalos

10:22 - Linus straight up turned into a frog for a min
When Linus said "can I do a 360" I thought "there's no way he can do that, they are gonna edit that or something" and then baaaam he does it, fucking amazing, what a display of skills, a true legend!
A 360 is not the hardwst thing to do...
@@ixigamer1337 it's pretty hard bro👁️👄👁️
Just unleashing his inner Jeremy Fragrance
Next attempt: Lap the IHS and the cooler to make sure they're perfectly flat.
The problem with this is that it only conducts heat really well in the x & y planes, not the z plane. It'd be really good for spreading heat out, but not for conducting it into another object above it.
One thought I had was direct-die cooling with a waterblock, where this pad was on the waterblock and you used liquid metal between the direct CPU die and the thermal pad on the waterblock. liquid metal would do it's job to get heat away from the CPU, and the pad would act as a big-ass, super-thin IHS strapped to the waterblock.
Greetings.

I had this nice video in my recommendeds earlier today.
Maybe it will be a problem to actually mount the perfectly flat heatsink and IHS together the normal way. It looks like gauge blocks have to be kinda slided together.
I will definitely try this when my workshop has evolved. :D
godspeed

A diamond you say 🤔 I request a ltt video where y’all cut a diamond sheet and used it as a thermal stone
I think they already did that. Although that was powdered diamond. Riley did it I think. The video was different things as thermal compound. Can't remember the name. They even used a toothpaste.....
they explained that it needs to fill the little gaps
the hole point of a thermal compound is to be fluid
@@ananyaig twice actually.... they also tested thermal epoxy from Tech Ingredients which is also a blend of micro diamond and other materials.
we actually use graphite tape as a thermal transfer in glass blowing. Cept its cut into a roll like tape. i tear a bit off and use it to keep temps the same between to pieces of glass that are touching but not meant to be melted together.

I saw numbers in the title and thought I was watching a gamer’s nexus video, and yet I love it.
Why not try to use this stuff on the grill/fins of your cooler? That's much more in-line with the intended use case and could enhance cooling.
No matter how conductive it is it won’t increase cooling compared to not having an extra layer present. The purpose of thermal paste/pads is to fill the gaps between two separate metal objects, like the IHS and the cooler.
@@CoconutMigrating I'm thinking more for moving heat throughout the fins. That's similar to the idea of using it to move heat on the nose cone of space ships on reentry. not to increase the dissipation. The concept being airflow not hitting all areas on fins equally.
"A bit over our heads"
*proceeds to explain process in detail*
Get the version without adhesive, ive had it on my 2950X for over a year and it is overclocked to the max and doesn't go over 72C, it also really really helps to have a flat surface, this pad is thermally conductive on the horizontal plane more than the Z plane.
Hi. Which product number are you using?

@@Dubsketti put it on your ps4 ;-)
Lorenzo nah, it’s outdated
Have you guys considered using both at the same time? My hypothesis is that the liquid molecules can, because of their fluidity, go into the small imperfections on the CPU's integrated heat spreader; and the imperfections into the CPU coolings solutions contact area. So if you use a small amount of the liquid on the CPU, and put the PGS on top of it, and then put a small amount of the liquid over the sheet, and then mount the cooling solution on top of it. This seems like its worth trying.
the paste shreds apart the sheet.

Well after a bit of a hectic search, the image is from shutterstock by a contributor known as Chuyuss, in a gallery centered around China. The image itself is tagged nuclear, notably the only one out of several other Powerplants they have images of. Only one where the location isn't marked either... not sure if there's a connection there.
they used to use graphite back in the day. i remember loosening the nuts on my old server processor to find just a graphite pad.
I loved his smile at the end ☺️
Yes, I would really like to run my computer at 90 degrees.
I'm using a macbook air.
When a overclocked RTX 2070 has less heat, air cooled than a macbook. bruh
rawpie
Comparing any desktop component to any laptop component is dumb tbh. My 970m gets to 95 degrees. But it’s also a laptop. Desktop cards aren’t supposed to get anywhere near that ever, plus they’re way bigger and are in a giant open box basically where air can circulate.
How about taking a longer sheet and sticking it to both CPU and base of the cooler at the same time and folding it?
That sounds great. Maybe the material brakes if you bend it like that, and that's why they didn't do it.
Your display is so cool and responsive to the point it's so nice even to watch it from my phone
3:51: that's what my grandma said when we visited her during the holidays (and then proceeded to prepare food for me)
I can imagine and relate with that!
My grandma for some reason always cooks even tho there is food on the table
hey Linus, since this pad conducts the heat laterally, I think it might work much better if you will stick it to the cpu and then, use some thermal compound on top of it, so that the generated heat will be transferred laterally very quickly
13:15 Aww, man.. i really thought I was gonna get my Very own Linus
The craftmanship and elegance with which Linus applied the pad to the heat sink, i wonder the CPU didn't shut down immediately. It looks like a friken moon crater landscape ....

Same. I remember thinking about my own PC's thermal paste and thinking "wow, so it won't get old!", considering doing it for convenience since thermal paste kinda scares me due to my inexperience with it.
How time flies.
Graphite sheet has two types of conductivity, horizontal / vertical.
Of course it is in datasheet, but Linus would never say in the beginning.
Because you know why.
could u explain?i can't even think of any reason not to say this
@@РусяОгризок to clickbait
@@РусяОгризок because there would be no video. It's a physical property. It's a fun video, but with sufficient information it was absolutely arbitrary.
It's called anisotropic heat conduction. Basically, because of the microscopic structure of layered graphite, the carbon rings have véry good conduction to their neighbouring, networked carbon rings. Alas the inter-layer conductivity is quite poor, because there is some sort of (electron) vacuum in between subsequent layers. So basically, we create giant networked sheets of carbon rings, that are tightly coupled. These tight couplings conduct heat very well. But inter-carbon-network conductivity when stacked upon each other is very poor.
Interestingly, this would be solved by using diamond instead, because diamond does have vertical interlinking between the carbon atoms aswell, e.g. i.stack.imgur.com/zytVR.jpg . Sadly, this is practically not really feasible.
Who'ed of thought lighting a fart on fire could make a thermal pad?... The more you know...😞
*Who would have thought
*Whom'st'd've
*Whom'st'd've'nt
Pardons't mesn't?
*in space
Wouldn't even consider this for cooling electronics, but did use this as a Tim for mounting a heatsink on an large bore AR barrel (this allows for longer periods of sustained fire, as excessive heat will cause malfunctions or even catastrophic failure). Thermal epoxy was used to fill the gaps on the sink/radiator side, and this makes for an extremely durable and heat tolerant Tim, especially suited to applications where longevity matters far more than thermal conductivity. It does become single-use at that point though. The barrel radiator/sink in reference here is the "Thermal Dissipator" from JP Enterprises, for those curious.
What about soldering heatpipes directly to the cpu heatsink?
I'm waiting for the day when they integrate some sort of heat pipe system or some sort of thermal transfer mechanism right into the die connected to the IHS
