Re: Improve your connection conductivity

i use silver grease,
pure microfine silver mixed with high
temp. conducting grease of some sort,
hellishin expensive but used sparingly
condicts heat and electricity like one
wouldnt believe.
equivalent or better than a silver soldered joint,
better in the fact the joint can be easily separated.
