i found this review but they compare it between ZM-STG1 and AS Ceramique not the AS5..

but still can use as reference...

Zalman ZM-STG1 vs Arctic Silver Ceramique

Are you going to use them on air-cooling?

maybe just maybe its on par with AS5

i just want to know the performance for both thermal grease..
hope ppl can just share their experience in using AS5 and Zalman STG1..
no matter in air-cooling or water-cooling..

Nope,it's better than AS5.

Hi guys, i've change the cpu to a place that better air flow. And i think the AS5 already sink in cause already one week i've put it.

But the temp reading is still da same. I'm using everest to check da temp.

But some of u guys says everest is not accurate. So i check in the BIOS, the reading come even worst than the everest.
Now only i knew tat the everest is not accurate cause my BIOS reading is 60C when idle. My everest show 56C when idle.

So anybody can help me? Put AS5 but still da same.

Now i want to use MBM or coretemp to test again.

The bios always reports a higher temps...

Coz in the bios, the processor, northbridge is running at 50%...
"Sources from ASUS"

That's why in bios, the temps tend to be higher than what you've got in windows...

In windows, if there is zero program running in background, you're processor sometimes running at 0%...

my spanish kinda rusty mind telling us the articles about?if its true finally an improved thermal paste.wuhuuu!!!!

That article compares two thermal compound.Common sence la....
Anyway if you can't read or see here's the result obtained from the 2 thermal compunds.

quite impressive result here..

anyone want to share more with us here?

Well, besides the Zalman, is there any other thermal grease that is on par with the AS5?

Thanks shawty for ur info !!!
I think my final solution is to invest a air-con for my room. Hope it can drop 10-15c. Haiz ...

this is another competitor in thermal paste industry Cooler Master NanoFusion, but still Zalman ZM-STG1 is the best rite now..

Cooler Master NanoFusion vs Arctic Silver 5

Hi, if I remember correctly, I read somewhere in the forum that AS5 need 3 weeks to sink...correct me if I am wrong...

AS5 needs time to cure down before able to perform to its fullness.

Hi Kataro, my dad and mom hometown also near ur place Muar Sungai mati there.

AS5 need 200hours to sink in. Already 9 days i didnt turn off my pc. So i think already over 200 hours gua. I turn off my pc 1-2 hours a day only.

I heard about the CM Nano as well..Seems impressive to me but not much hype about it out there..Many still reccomends the AS5..

I've used CM nano before, but it doesn't perform well if compared to AS5, furthermore, CM Nano is very hard to apply on the processor...

It's too "hard"

IINM, if you want to sink in the AS5 paste, you have to make it sink while the pc is on, not by turning it off...

The heat that came from the processor, GPU or northbridge chipset will make the paste sink in the heatsink...

You need heat, not cold...
