hey people. am on smart phone so searching is slow. At work so thought I'd post my thought before i forgot it. Forgive me if this has been asked. There is conductive paste between the cooling unit and cold tube. In past, workng on the assumption that the OEM paste was dried up, have used computer CPU heat sink paste to replace the OEM paste. If one applied this paste, noted where voids of poor or no contact were, but used a layer or two of tinfoil at those spots instead of paste would the tinfoil be a better conductor? I imagine there's a risk that the tinfoil would raise the cooling away from the cold tube but one were careful .....
