IgorsLAB: M-12 thermal paste from MJ-Tech Review - Molecular Tweezers Cuisine for Brazen Swindlers
Sometimes you really wonder whether the marketing departments of this world are holding a secret competition: who can make the most audacious claim without their product evaporating from the shelf in shame? In this case, the MJ-12 thermal compound would be a serious contender for the gold medal. “Reduce wear and tear with 12.4 W/m*K” as a slogan on the headband and you can literally hear physics and thermodynamics collectively running for the hills. Whereby the unit W/m*K stands for “waste per marketing and kludge” for the relationship between overpriced marketing promises and actually inferior products. The promises sound as if someone had reached too deeply into the marketing cookie jar at the junk dealer during the lunch break and accidentally got the nasty one with the hash.
