CM nano is crap ar... i read alot of good feedback from that TIM. it is said that finally CM released a TIM that can match as5 and so on.

iif u dun believe buy wan and try, but i promise u u will waste bout rm35... y buy that when a tube of as5 only rm25, and thats proven performance..

not saying that i dont believe, just curious on your statement

probably CM paid the reviewer to write positive statement or CM nano work better in those cooler country and not at malaysia's wheather, hot and dry...

ya lah,.... thats why we should always wait for forumers to buy.. . neway my friend bought wan and he say it shard like shit.... and very crapy performance

got it... added CM nano into my blacklist.. seem that only AS5 get very positive feedback from u guys though it been released for quite sometime.

Well, my friend do have the nano.Maybe i could borrow it and try it myself.Wasnt really interested in the Nano in the first place.Just too bad the choices are somewhat limited.The Zalman gave me such false hope..Now left was the AS5 though..

hehe as5 is gona be dying soon... i read in some forum that as6 coming soon...

buy coolermaster high performance thermal grease better gua. RM10 only

AS5 stil the best la.. nano i heard my fren said it's difficulty in application. but coolermaster high performance easy to apply

but has crappy performance....imo coolermaster stuffs i never liked . only the aquagate mini r120....

i dun think u can generate enough e.s.c to kil ur proc while cleaning the proc... u wil nee to rub the proc for a long time in the perfect conditions to be able to generate enough e.s.c. to kill u proc..

lol..i just feel it might take quite a while before we can see the AS6 around but hopefully, when it arrives, it does work well.Not like the Zalman..lol...

bro i think its tradition for companies that have names that start with artic , to produce crazy performing products... remember as5/ artic cooling silenser is a legend...

somehow i feel tissue material quit rough, so i used facial cotton

I use paint thinner, one bottle only Rm3 can clean hundreds of cpu's cheaply. Works 1st time, works everytime, never fails me.

However, if anyone like to argue the use of thinner in electronics..oh well, your choice lah.

no 1 (stars 700) would be the better of the 2.

is it effective? any cons?

thiner not oily?
when applied on hand, can feel like burning....scary....
alchohol applied on hand just cooling feeling

Using common sense and none of any rocket science techniques, a facial cotton dipped in thinner to clean the top of the cpu a few times would be next to prestine cleanliness. Just ensure you don't have plastic parts nearby. I do this on my own workshop bench or at the kitchen sink.
C'mon lah..I even do worse sometimes, wash the entire cpu in water and dish washing soap after that and dry off carefully with hair dryer or front of table fan. I've never spoilt a cpu with my own methods. I've got 30 years of electronics practical knowledge and won't suggest nonsense. You can all experiment with some old cpu if you like.
I use paint thinner to remove solder flux from pcb after soldering, its prestine like new after that with hardly any trace that it was tampered or repaired. I'm just being practical with my own methods.

the thermal conductivity of the first thermal compound seems better,
not sure bout the thermal resistance.

all in all, the first one should be better
