New thermal material provides 72% better cooling than conventional paste

Well, yes I did. Unfortunately, That was 40 years ago (?). when it came out. I remember horses, campfires, lots of farting, and vaguely "the N-word", but not much else.

I've also seen "Mandingo". I vividly remember "get into the pot, n-word", but little else.

In today's social climate, I'm not sure if it's prudent to admit you've seen either one of those films.

But, if you can post a clip from Blazing Saddles to show me where I've misinterpreted your meaning, I'll give you a like for it.gladly.

In fact, how about if we do that on the honor system?

If you're into old movies, might I suggest "Network", "Rollerball", "Clockkwork Orange", and the original "Blade Runner". They seem more topical to what's going on these days. I'd also suggest "Barbarella" for a lark. Jane Fonda in her luscious prime, practically bare breasted, coaxed into those leotards by her boyfriend at the time, Roger Vadim. That was before she became known as "Hanoi Jane".
 
How does a better thermal interface reduce the need for fans and pumps? It doesn't. You still need a mechanism to remove the heat that's been transferred.

First, nobody said it eliminates or reduces the need for fans and pumps! Read again...

Then, think a little about the physics of the thing... Classic material can only transfer so much heat, let's say, per second, with a given cooling solution. If a new material can transfer 4 times the amount of heat in a second, you could theoretically reduce the efficiency of the cooling solution by a factor 4, reducing fan speed or the size of the fan and so on. In other words, you can achieve the same cooling efficiency with 4 times less cooling power in the "mechanism" you're talking about, be it a tower cooler or an AIO.
You can already see that with Honeywell's phase inversion polymer heat pads. I installed some in my laptop to replace the already excellent TFX paste, and now my laptop cools faster, and the average speed of the CPU remains higher for longer as I have seen in Linpack tests. The fact that this thermal pad is more efficient allows the CPU to remain cooler for a longer amount of time, *using the same cooling solution*, I.e, if I reduced the rotation speed of the cooling fan to compensate for the added efficiency of the thermal pad, the CPU would just reach the same temperature as without the new pad in the same amount of time, but now, my fan would comsume less power.
 
Kidz, Kidz, Kidz, this whole thing is a scam, from day one.

Thermal paste doesn't "DISSIPATE" any heat whatsoever. How about if we put down our game controllers and put on our thinking caps?

Any thermal paste can only >> remove << heat from a CPU, and >> transfer << it to a cooler_full stop. The only variable involved in doing that is the speed at which it can occur.

So, if a CPU is generating a 100 watts of heat, all the thermal paste can accomplish is presenting it to the cooler sooner. The cooler then "dissipates", (how about if we call it "redistributes"), the exact same 100 watts of heat into the atmosphere. And again_full stop.

So then how do I explain air conditioners, they cool things, right? NO, they don't. They "redistribute" heat from indoors to outdoors. No heat is lost, just moved.

And as a matter of fact, air conditioners create more heat than they redistribute Why, because the electric motors used to drive the compressors are not 100% efficient, So, however many BTU are created by the compressor drive motor are "redistributed" to the atmosphere.

How can we fix this? How about if we smear this snake oil on the motor;s drive shaft. That'll help right? .WRONG.

And for any of you old timers present, "the duck didn't come down" on this nonsense.

Amazing the amount of people who have very faint notions of basic physics... :))
I just posted a comment trying to explain that before realising that the show had already started. :))
