Be careful in the sense of how?Not spilling the AS5 to other parts?I really wanted to apply the AS5 to my GC but i am kinda worried it will spoil my GC...

I just applied AS5 on my 7600GE.. i think no prob. Just need to apply to the actual core.
But the AS5 is quite liquid.. i tot its in paste form, i need to reapply it??

Anyone knows where i can get thermal tape?Do they sell it anywhere?

Just put a very small dot of AS5 in the middle of the gpu core, then let the heatsink to spread it should be ok de...

Ask Mr. moderno.. maybe he have. I saw he selling thermal adhesieve compound.

i wouldnt trust that untill i my self test it... look out for it at the end of the month....exams now...

Yea, i am trying very hard to find this as well.Best if i could get the 3M one but if i cant find it, any brand will do as well...Not even LYP had this though..

Good review for the Chill Factor though..But last time out, the Zalman also have quite a good review as well but it end up disappointing though..I will wait until someone here test it.Maybe we could as pcmodding to test it as well.lol...


Just recently changed my thermal paste to the AS5.Waiting for it to sinked in for 200 hours.Current temperature is rated at 33c on idle.Will test full load later...

thermal tape! OP doesn't selling one ka? or stock out already

Need run pc to sink-in??

ya la, the heat from the proc will sink the TIM, u need ur pc running 200 hours not after applying it 200 hours...

i'm still confuse for the 200 hours, do u need to let it be full load or the idle temp will do the job

Well, i dont think we will need to do full load of 200hours.That seems really going to stress the proc alot..lol..Anyway, hopefully the AS5 is going to lower my proc temperature to below 30c.When i applied, it was about 33c.Now, after about 1 full day of applying, its running at 35c on idle...

i just took out my faulty msi mobo's northbridge heatsink in attempt to lap it but found out that there's a square pad and the thermal grease in the middle.could that be a thermal pad?

and another thing,on those chips that has thermal grease on it how do i clean it up?is it safe to use alcohol?

Minay angin cap kapak can becoz its petroleum base.. i used aceton b4

Its the thermal tape used to stick the heatsink to the nb..You could use those Arctic Cleaner to wipe off the thermal grease or else, proven by other people, you can use those minyak angin...

Anyway, does anyone knows the link to any particular site that can show the 3M thermal tape?I need the product name and hopefully will be able to search it out.Many people that i have asked seems blur with what i mean by 3M thermal tape...I have tried searching 3M official site and doesnt really know which one is the one i need.

oh okay.minyak angin dont really know whats that...so cant use normal swan alcohol?will damage the chip rite

If you read thru this whole thread, if I remember correctly, pcmoddingmy got show the minyak angin cap kapak picture...

the normal swan alcohol also can...
