Kitchen Splashbacks & Upstands

Hi John

The stainless steel splashback and upstands, which were individually cut to size for all those little ‘ins and outs’, really finished off our new kitchen. A simple ordering process, expert packing and delivery, and great customer service all made things easy. Many thanks, Jo from Leeds

Polished Brass Sheet Fire Surround

Dear John, here is the promised photo of above. It looks fabulous and is much admired by all who see it. Ignore the actual fire – I’m allergic to convected heat so a supermodern fire basket would look even better! By the way, the brass does actually trap the heat and throw it back out – very economical.

I upgraded my laptop (Asus C90S) from a nVidia graphics card (which used to overheat – 80 degrees) to an ATI mobility graphics card
The heatsink wouldn’t touch the GPU so I needed the copper shim to pad out the gap.
The 0.5mm copper shim covers the GPU, I used heat transfer grease on both sides. The aluminium heatsink then bolts on to the card
I tried different pads but anything thicker would raise the heatsink too high away from the RAM chips. And with a thermal pad it was running at about 64 degrees.
This was a successful upgrade as the new graphics card is now running at around 58 degrees. The copper shim transfers heat better than a thermal pad.
Many thanks,
Chris.
