Not exactly like that, ok, let me explain, that CM Hyper L3 is a very small heatsink, with just 3 heatpipe, damn it's performance in cooling is too low... sweat.gif

Furthermore, read what CoolerMaster says about this heatsink:

Now i only knew that my cooler is a entry level heatsink from cooler master. Haiz ... sweat.gif

But is quite silent.
Thanks for the infor shawty...

IINM, if you want to sink in the AS5 paste, you have to make it sink while the pc is on, not by turning it off... sweat.gif

The heat that came from the processor, GPU or northbridge chipset will make the paste sink in the heatsink...

You need heat, not cold... laugh.gif

You've got it all wrong la. To burn in the thermal paste, you'll need both heat and cold. High changes in temp will make the paste to settle in faster. So, you'll actually need to turn on and off. doh.gif

And also, this is the best to be used between a proc and HSF.

Well, then, maybe its time for me to get the Zalman thermal paste and give it a try though..Might be getting it together with the AS5 to check and see the difference..Does it means alot if we use good thermal paste compared to cheapo paste?Will it affect the temperature alot?

u can drop 5-10degrees of ur normal temp but u must have a good coolers as well to dissipate out the heat from heatsink..

well if we can see, thermal paste such as AS5 or ZM-STG1 have a particle size that are finer than the cheapo 1 it will make the surface contact to transfer heat between heatsink n cpu/chipset will be more and efficient..
summore.. both of the thermal paste are silver base so that its transfer heat more efficient compared to normal thermal paste..

Seems like this Zalman thermal paste is promising... i been checking out on it at lowyat for few times ... but yet to purchase coz not sure about the performance...

since my AS5 have running out of stock ... i guess i will give a try on Zalman paste then...

will record the result for both AS5 and Zalman... with arrival of my new cooling stuffs from bulk ...

At what price?

Furthermore, if it's liquid metal, there's no way i'm going to use that to replace my thermal paste, too risky, what if some drops, dropped on my motherboard? sweat.gif

Later got my motherboard fried kua... laugh.gif

Well, then it seems good enough...I never tried any good thermal paste before and since its promising, maybe i will give it a try.The main reason that seems good for me is that the Zalman thermal grease comes in 1 bottle and with brush which does seem easier to apply than the AS5.And it is cheaper as well..

I agree on that...

akachester, don't forget to share with us you're experience in using that zalman thermal paste... notworthy.gif

If can, take some pictures while you doing it bro...

Wanna see how did you apply it on you're processor... thumbup.gif

AS5 is not electrically conductive
QUOTE
Not Electrically Conductive:
Arctic Silver 5 was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity.
(While much safer than electrically conductive silver and copper greases, Arctic Silver 5 should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads. While it is not electrically conductive, the compound is very slightly capacitive and could potentially cause problems if it bridges two close-proximity electrical paths.)

so basically wont fry so easily, LOL tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

So then, it's proved that this kind of thermal paste is much much safer if compared to "Liquid Metal"

**Neoxz,
Why don't u try using liquid metal first? brows.gif

Why must we argue on this again and again... sweat.gif biggrin.gif laugh.gif

No matter which on is safer, there's still no one wanted to try using Liquid Metal... sweat.gif

The only reason people dont want to use liquid metal is not because it's conductive la shawty. Get ur facts right.

It's because it can "eat" through alu. icon_idea.gif
