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

Some instructions in reserving Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste...

Kinda interesting in the refregeration part... smile.gif

QUOTE
Storage of Arctic Silver 5

To keep Arctic Silver 5 fresh for future applications, always replace the cap on the syringe after each use. The syringe should be stored tip down so that any separation between the particles and suspension fluid will be at the back end of the syringe. Like any mix of particles that are many times heavier than the suspension fluid, there will be some separation in the compound over time when stored in the original syringe. Because all thermal compounds eventually experience some separation in storage, storing in a cool place like a refrigerator will also lessen the separation over time. However, this does not affect the performance of the un-separated or remixed compound.


What do you think of those words that i've put in bold guys? brows.gif

I think the liquid metal is a kind of pad not paste

It is a liquid, not a paste...

Paste is something that is much thicker than liquid liao... sweat.gif

Was at lowyat just now.
Like doom said,it's only sold by Sri and all IT hypermarket.
Sri = RM49
All IT hypermarket = RM35

Guess I'll take this since AS5 seems to be completely out of stock in lowyat..
*
Darn, SRI computers is selling at RM6 more than what ALL IT is selling... sweat.gif

Eitherway, after this, i'll only stick with Zalman thermalpaste... thumbup.gif

Still no reviews on Thermalright thermal paste? sweat.gif

the main advantage here is Accelero is complete silence solution .... thumbup.gif

Yeah, if someone is into dead silent setup, Accelero is the best, but not that good for those who are into extreme o'cers or extreme coolers icon_rolleyes.gif

Actually how good does the PC Cooler products perform compared to the Zalman series since they are so much alike?
*
One of VR-Zone forumers [from sg] have compared the performance of Zalman Fatality FS-V7 [VGA Cooler] and PC cooler FS-V7 Look alike heatsink [didn't remember the model number laugh.gif ] and what he got is only 1degress hotter than FS-V7... [playing games] while in idle, both heatsink performance are just the same...

I'll try to look for that review later and post it here... icon_rolleyes.gif

With a price difference of the PC Cooler VGA cooler cheaper in RM50 - RM70, 1 degrees celcius while playing games wouldn't hurt right? tongue.gif

Remember that the liquid metal (probably gallium arsenide) retards aluminium's ability to create a protective oxide layer, so using it on anything with aluminium is a nono.

What about using it on copper? blink.gif

Will it "eat" copper too? sweat.gif
