Paul - Relating to "Coppers" and their composition - you only have to add Lard to that, and you get... well, you know.

Regarding heat -
1. Arctic Silver. It's a little more expensive, but it works the best of just about all the pastes in the home-modder range.

2. Did you get the links on Lapping? With lapping alone, Lou (the guy on Metku) was able to get his CPU 10* cooler... might be something to look into.

3. What's keeping anyone from mounting the controller inside the car, or venting the heat from the controller (the 106 watts of heat-waste) into the cabin for partial heating during winter/cooler weather driving?

4. Liquid cooling, using the same heating solution that has been suggested for liquid heating in the vehicle to begin with?
