Seems like this Zalman thermal paste is promising... i been checking out on it at lowyat for few times ... but yet to purchase coz not sure about the performance...
since my AS5 have running out of stock ... i guess i will give a try on Zalman paste then... will record the result for both AS5 and Zalman... with arrival of my new cooling stuffs from bulk ... |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Nov 22 2006, 01:50 PM) I'm using Accelero X2 now... like i told u ....earlier ... it perform better than stock cooler but not top notch  It sucks, sucks to the max... Only manage to cool my gc [that u've sold to me earlier] a little better than the stock heatsink... Thinking of opening the case of the fan and put a better fan there, but don't know if i can do that or not... the main advantage here is Accelero is complete silence solution ....  |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Nov 23 2006, 03:09 PM) Yeah, if someone is into dead silent setup, Accelero is the best, but not that good for those who are into extreme o'cers or extreme coolers hahha.. that's why i told u don't dare to OC it...  even running 3D application will push the heat to quite high.... |

What do you think about it Doom? Will it perform better than the X2? however it lack of heat pipe.. faster grab it and do the review men .... |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Nov 25 2006, 05:37 PM) ...................... Both Sri Comp and All IT There's only one bottle left?  If there is more, please don't tell me that all the bottles looks dry Err, which shop did you look at? QUOTE(id86 @ Nov 27 2006, 01:01 PM) yea...agree with u.like air kotak at supermarket. Can't u use a more meaningful example .. i never shake well box drink from supermarket.......shake well before use anyway i guess it works like paint whereby it need to shake well to have the mixture goes well together after a leaving aside for extended period... |

OMG seems dangerous .... anyhow using alcohol that used for cleaning tape will do just fine...
of course professional way is to use Artic Cleaner.... anyhow don't be to worry as the core is well sealed shouldn't be too much of problem ... |

The result is promising for holding the GPU core go higher as compared to stock thermal paste...
too bad there is only minor decrement of temperature during idle.... seems like Gigabyte cooler did nice job in keeping the stuffs cool .... |

Really pro men.... too bad lah not everyone here has deep experience and sufficient tool to test it out ...
i would even prefer if the test is run within the case to simulate real world condition .... majority wont be having Delta fan blowing here and there.... anyhow there thermalpaste should work fine maybe slightly on or off compared to AS5... |

QUOTE(ahcong @ Dec 4 2006, 06:57 PM) I'm having similar result too, my proc temp increase by 4-5c. Mebbe we need to wait until the paste cure in. B4 this, I used AS5 thermal paste. My method of applying is a bit differ from yours. Usually i only applied one side and use the plastic card to spread very even not too thin until seeing the die.... not too thick either until there is excessive paste squish out when the proc and heatsink contacted.1. I used alcohol to clean my proc & heat sink 2. I applied the paste on the proc & the heat sink surface |

sometimes life should be simpler.... |

why on earth call the thermal paster as grease ... grease is use to reduce the vibration and friction of two object contacted on one another,,, like gear, bearing or joint.
thermal paste is use to fill up the gap between two contacted objects to improve heat transfer..... |
