personally i would avoid those that conduct electricity, so AS5 is out...
currently have OCZ Freeze in my laptop... not bad... 35C on idle... and i ve a syringe of Arctic Cooling TX-2 on standby as well... |

QUOTE(eugenechiuu @ Feb 23 2011, 02:15 AM) http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?opti...1&limitstart=12 silver is good (the best actually), but it also conducts electricity...Hmm.. According to here, most of it are Aluminium Oxides... AS5 is polysynthetic silver.... I am guessing Silver is better?? Added on February 23, 2011, 6:16 amAnyways, I decided and went ahead to buy a IC Diamond 7 CPU Thermal Paste for £4.75 and Tuniq TR-1 CPU thermal paste remover cleaner for £3.99 from eBay... Hopefully it would be the right choice lol... I hope someone could enlighten me with some guides though... Do I just put a rice grain size of the paste and that's it or I have to spread it myself?? Because there're quite a few different methods somehow, dunno how should it be... Any specific guides for Asus lappies?  so if it spills and contact ur circuit... well, u know the consequences... usually i juz put a dot on it, that's it... let the heat do the job of spreading for me... |
