", "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 ....

You're friend sure asking a lot of question that kinda stop from buying... If it were me, it sure stop me from buying it...  What the hell does zalman think of? It's so small, it's too little quantity of paste in there... Paiseh... But still, PCMM review still doesn't reach 8 days yet... I'm pretty sure that he'll post the review on that paste on PCModdingmy.com  |

So, we all do have the same experience, and agreed that the bottle was small, and looks empty, and didn't come to our expectations...Kinda weird eeh? Mcm kebetulan je...  I guess zalman should do something about it, but... come to think of it, even they will make something to it like making the bottle bigger, think, even a small bottle like that cost you RM32 at ALLIT, what will a bigger bottle priced at?  Funny though... |

I'm not sure about the lowyat forum(I'm new here), if there is such rule, let me know. anyway, already edit the 2nd post, hopefully anybody can understand  |

So far, zalman STG1 prove as a failure lo (probably i using Stock Cooler), not good enough in spreading the heat. Before this, my idle is around 34-35 then Full load around at 55-57. after applying Zalman STG1, idle 40'C Full Load 65-67. that's why i said probably zalman thermal paste need time to sink in only can see the difference.
anyone using Zalman STG1 and used it on other cpu cooler? |

I used the ZM-STG1 on my notebook CPU and the heatsink...the temperature dropped by 3-5 degrees only. But however it is better than without thermal grease where the temperature goes very high sometimes.

On Scythe Mine + STG1 (bought from Moderno) on a C2D E6600 and applied ~ 4 days ago.
Right now heat actually went up 1-2 degrees under Orthos CPU stress test according to CoreTemp. On idle it went down 1-2 degrees. I tried accelerating the burn-in process by running Orthos for a day but didn't see much difference. Now I'm back to slow-cooking it. Will report in once 7 days are up. |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Dec 6 2006, 11:31 AM) You can choose either to use thermal paste / grease on the notebook or not by you're choice... do that apply to normal P4 stock cooler also? i saw my heatsink with that metal zink sheet too. take it off and better performance?Normally notebook manufacturers didn't bother to put any Thermal paste / grease between the processor and the heatsink... I've repaired so many notebooks, and open a lot of their casings [i only open the notebook casings that the warranty is over already laa ] and none of them uses thermal paste / grease... Every notebooks that i've opened, i'll put some thermal paste on top of the processor die, coz this will help more in transferring the heat to the heatsink... So my suggestion is, put a thermal paste, it's better that way... Ahh, another thing, if u look on the heatsink, did you find somekind of metal zink sheet? If you do, take it out, then clean the heatsink with some alcohol, then apply the thermal paste to the processor die itself... The themal paste will work better if you take out the metal zink sheet... Ohh, and by the way, you don't have to use AS5 for notebooks processor as they are cool enought to be use with those normal white thermal paste... |
