I'd kinda be afraid of trying to make that stuff on my own. I didn't fully understand it but it is interesting. So when was this article released and is Arctic silver or anyone going to make a comercial product that will be soon available?

I think it was released a couple days ago. If they don't patent the recipe you can bet someone is making it now. Look for it to hit the shelves in a month.

Thats awesome, I'm glad that engineers and designers have begun to look at "alternative" methods of cooling, rather then focusing solely on heatsink or fan design.

OK, I decided to look up how much the stuff would cost.

At the ideal recipe of :

Carbon Black 3% @ US$500.00 per Ton
Ethyl Cellulose 1.25% @ US$13.00 per 1 Kg
Polyethylene Glycol Remainder @ US$141.74 per 5 Liters

Approx price per 25ml.... 75 cents
