QUOTE(akachester @ Jan 11 2007, 06:09 PM) Would those silver based TIM will normally be better than those ceramic based ones?Or its just a gimmick in using different based type? Testing the AS5 on my current system for already 140hours++ without turning off my PC.No drop in temperature but no increase as well.Staying at 34-36c..Should i turn it off to see a more significant decrease as i start off at around the same temperature before changing the AS5.. if i remembered correctly after applying AS5 its recommended to swich ur pc off and on like normal use..after the 200hour sink in time den u can go back to 24/7  |

QUOTE(E-J@1 @ Jan 11 2007, 07:33 PM) yup, those TIM that has silver base in it are better than those ceramic base...  & it's not just a gimmick Yea, thats why i am surprised to see that the ceramic based chill factor performs even better than the silver based AS5..cant wait to test it though...

Thermalright is currently the best, don't worry, AS will create AS10, which doubles the silver thingy  wanna prove that Thermalright is the best, go to link below for the review AS5 vs TR Chill Factor http://www.dragonsteelmods.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1453&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=2bout the AS10 thing, i'm kidding only, don't take a word for it |

Anyway, about AS, i did heard someone here saying that there will be a replacement for AS5 - the AS6 coming really soon?Well, i think that might beat the TR again and let AS become the king of TIM again..lol.. |
