I thinking of buying thermal grease from Wakefield Engineering. Its called thermal joint compound 120. Anyone know if this stuff is any good?

Was wondering this myself....so did some research. Heres what I found

wakefield TC-120 series----.735 W/mK, thermal resistance=.05 $5.45 for 4g packet

Radio shack thermal paste----.4187 W/mK,
thermal resitance .5, $1.99 6.5g tube

Artic Silver----4.65-5.15 W/mK, thermal resistance .0028, $8.95 6.5g

I could not find any hard data on the temp for wakerield, but since the Radio shack it about 5-6 degrees C more then the Artic silver and wakefield series 120 is a tad better then radio shack, it would be safe to reason that wakefield would be close in temp to radio shack, maybe 1 or 2 degs cooler.

That being the case I guess you need to decide if you want to spend $2.00 or $6.00 for pretty much the same stuff, or spend the extra $3.00 and get the macdaddy AS compound.
