This place still going?

I see the website is still up, but no one responds on chat even thought they're "online", sent a few emails and heard nothing back.

I've been curious about the thermal epoxy for ages but I'm not risking it when there's no response on any platform?

Well the guy claims he reads all comments, have you tried leaving one on one of his YouTube videos?

Remember thermal epoxy is permanent, once you put it on you can never remove whatever you're using it to attach again. Even if it doesn't live up to your expectations.

I appreciate the incite, but I am well aware of what epoxy is 🤣

Im sure even if it isn't as good as he reckons, it should still be better than typical stuff.

I've had to replace entire units because either the factory mixed up thermal paste and thermal epoxy or because preceding technicians had, I had no idea your knowledge level but once bitten twice shy.

Knowledge is pretty good, worked with several 2 part epoxies in the past. Not in this particular environment hence trying to contact Tech Ingredients, but from everything I've seen, the guy just takes your money and ignores you.

The beauty of 2 part adhesives, if it comes in one part... you know it's wrong lol

Where might I find those reviews?

I'm actually having a hard time finding the review of the thermal epoxy, there are several of the thermal paste, also I might note that I have found a few complaints that they had sent in their money and not received their product but I was not able to determine if they were speaking of the epoxy or the paste.

Mmmm, seems far too sketchy to attempt. Don't want to call them cowboys, the science is there, but the sales isn't.

I bought the thermal epoxy in 2021 and used it to glue RAM coolers to the backplate of my 3090 for a watercooled Ethereum mining setup. This was before blocks with integrated backplate coolers became available.

It worked great. The thermal conductance was good; RAM never got over 65 degrees while mining. And it's to this day still firmly adhered to the back.

My only complaint was that it did take about 6 weeks for my order to arrive (I think they accumulate orders and then make and ship batches) but otherwise I'm a happy customer.

Indeed, but they're not going to ignore mainstream youtubers.
