bro it ceramique man.... neway rice grains size is best.... size ....

wah.. another new way to clean cpu... that day we have the minyak kapal(something like that) now we got thinner...lol

lol. true... lyn rules...

bro if ur hsfs is mounted properly , then the tim no matter how much u put will be thin wan... neway prem i think that applies to dual cores procs only as most single core procs has the core smackdab in the middle , so different abit loh...

yes irangan thats is coorect , but washing the proc WILL NOT kill ur proc if u do it coreectly.... if u are brave enough to try go ahead....

man the credit card way is a huge common misconcepttion.... if u use ur credit card u introduce trace amounts of imourities that will cause a decrease in performance... best if use the rice or string method as i posted earlier.... lots of guilow is refering to the days when the cores of cpu was very big... maybe the oldschool procs....

just go buy the set of tim and surface purifier from artic silver..rm25 can last u a life time.....how many time do you take ur proc out to clean..

yes thermal interface material... tim is easier to type...

umm...lol...to tell u the truth the Only performance tim that actually performs is as5, and ceramique. the rest is all cacat or oem rebranded wan... i wil be buying the chill factor very soon to test out with my newly aquired hr-01.

bro dusty got nuthin to do with the tim...coz once the hsf is on top its technically a sealed environment..but yeah people like me who like to dismantle pcs for fun coz of boredoma nd itchy fingers will use alot of tim and the remover...lol....

heeh i got an email from my Contact ( cant be revealed) that the tr tim is very very similar to as5 in technical terms althogh it is said to be different.... hjehe dun worry 35 rm , for tim is nuthin...hehe neway yeah give tr a chance lah... have some faith in tr..lol...

thats why i said it technically similar....not in real world performance...if can get close to as5 good aledi..as long as can beat zalman..lol....all hail artic silver, (fanboyism..lol.) ..happy holidys...

haha , i was just reading bout it in maximum pc mag... theres a tim that called liquid metal pro that out performes as5 by miles but cost 25 usd for only 4 applications and it very very messy and deangerouss.... if leak onto ur mobo...u know wat will happen lah...

bro those are most likely oem ceramique...neway the tims lik eliquid silver are still quite expensive and is very messy,as5 is still the best for everyday use..

yes... that is the best way, rice method is for single core, string method is for dual cores... neway yeah teh liquid metal thing is very good performance, but then under heat it will expand like crazy so u might get lots of leaks all round the socket....

np,t be carefull , but if u ueing ceramique then it shoul dbe ok for the time to touch the pins...i said it should...so im not sure my seklf...

i dun think it can expire, bu i would recomend u change ur tim everytime u start seeing abnormal temps....

well i change every weel , but thats me, but best is bout everytime u clean ur rig for sdust , lets say 1.5 months?

can but its quite expensive, best u buy from singapore called 3m themal adhesive tape....
