QUOTE(sHawTY @ Nov 13 2006, 09:10 PM) Can't find any review for this thermal paste yet... But, as a die hard fan of Thermalright Products, i am sure that it is quite good also... Anyone found any review on this thermal paste?  still searching for reviews.. and its good to have another good thermal paste but i think the thermal paste still not arrived in Malaysia yet..

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Nov 14 2006, 07:20 PM) 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... Furthermore, read what CoolerMaster says about this heatsink:  Now i only knew that my cooler is a entry level heatsink from cooler master. Haiz ... But is quite silent. Thanks for the infor shawty...

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Nov 10 2006, 05:50 PM) 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... The heat that came from the processor, GPU or northbridge chipset will make the paste sink in the heatsink... You need heat, not cold...  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. And also, this is the best to be used between a proc and HSF. http://www.coollaboratory.com/Liquid Metal!!! This post has been edited by neoxz: Nov 15 2006, 11:37 PM

And yeah, where can we find that kind of "Liquid Metal"

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?

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 ...

Nanee? That zalman thermal paste is available in LYP? Which shop? Can't wait to see the result of you're review on both thermal paste... Don't forget to put some screenies ya?

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... If can, take some pictures while you doing it bro... Wanna see how did you apply it on you're processor...

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.) sourceso basically wont fry so easily, LOL This post has been edited by LittleLinnet: Nov 16 2006, 07:01 PM

No money di lo. U sponsor me liquid metal la and sure i'll try. Anyways.. it not much different. really.

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Nov 17 2006, 02:28 PM) 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. This post has been edited by neoxz: Nov 17 2006, 02:50 PM
