I also need a new tube of AS5 ... but no where seems selling ......

when would the thermal paste be arriving ... in MY ........

I need AS5 as well... who can get me a tube ,,,,,,, ??????

besides small it also look empty ... i had asked my friends that is not familiar with the stuff...

"what you will get for what you pay for?"

they look at the bottle for while and answered me

"what are you paying for anyway?" , "empty bottle? ", "what is this for??", "why nothing in there?"
....
small bottle that look empty..... too bad can't fine any good deal on AS5 smaller tube....

maybe will pay my old friend at Robyn Imbi a visit for it ....

I still prefer AS5 as the promising result compared to Zalman ...

some report better while some report otherwise ....

That's why i said AS5 have is eaeier to use ......as it sink in faster and the performance is promising ....

mostly i am suspecting the contianer itself..... seems unrealiable to have the paste harden and dried ....

I peer off mine last time when usign 478 proc... seem like no difference after a layer of new AS5 ..... perform even better....

Lucky didn't off and buy the pate lat week.... i squished last drop of my AS5 to apply the Thermaright Family.... pueh... have to stock in soon ...

Maybe the paste just does not work well in our temperature condition ...

Korea is a cold country.....

the paste harden fast here due to constant high temperature..... just my sense ....

The product does not seems to be reliable enough ...

maybe any Zalman user here could email then regarding the issue...

see what's their respond..

damn ... another unpleasant waiting ....

Hopefully his AS6 would be release soon enough ...

Go AS5 would be no wrong decision .. although Artic Ceramic perform well ...

but for ultimate thermal paste still AS5 rocks since Zalman one also fall under expectation..

Few solution summary from others:

1. Alcohol for tape cassette cleaning

2. Zippo lighter filtering liquid

3. Tooth paste

4. Artic Cleaner

Truly agree on it .. high end cooler must equipped with decent thermal paste like AS5 ... else it is totally meaningless.

more over the result is guarantee when using AS5 unless applied wrongly.

Seems to be method of applying the thermal paste would also influence the result ....

mind to share any trick in applying the thermal paste....

hohohoh ... the thread is getting more knowlegable with more method to clean off old TIM.....

is there any way to clean the GPU surrouding area.... sometimes the thermal paste would spill to the area and cleaning would be hassle as there are so many tiny soldering.

i tried with cotton ear pick ... but it is really troublesome and ineffective

one could transfer heat more effectively while another ineffectively. . ..

which results better heat dissipation and could lower down ur CPU temperature more than the RM10 one ....

It's written on their product specification, u could read it out from their site...

The performance is really good but just a 2 to 3 degree lower than AS5 can cool off...

however cleaning and applying it is much more easier ...

Yah overal 2degress of improvement and better applicability ...

... some one going to bring it in =_='' ...

There would be just matter of soon or later only ...

the most potential one would be the red hot panda ..that need it to cool itself ...
hhahah
