Yes, it is true that some laptops do have thermal pads. However, from my experience over the past 6 or so years of working on laptops with quad core processors (the ones that I have suggested as potential test rigs that I have available), I've not seen many or actually any of those with quad...

The reason that I'm considering doing this is that there has been some past study of bare die silicon vs IHS and that has proven to have at least some effect on choosing the specific compound, refer to the pump-out effect that has been discussed which seems to have a strong correlation to the...

I've done quite a bit of research recently to understand what testing has been done relative to laptop processors and thermal compounds. The majority of thermal compound testing that I've seen has been for desktop/workstation processor between the IHS and the copper/aluminum/nickel...
