Soon as I get the bolt off, fix the motor it's holding together, and put it all back together I'll draw something up, host it on Imgur, and throw a link up here.

</span> reference. graphite is a heat conductor that's... i think it's<br>
something like over 100x more efficient than copper. graphite paper<br>
is used as a heat spreader in mobile phones. they simply lay it over<br>
the components and ensure it's also in good contact with the casework.<br>
<br>
much less messy than thermal gel.<br>
