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

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..

Well, looks like the zalman is having an edge.I do like the idea of applying the thermal paste using that brush thing...

Really looking forward to the pcmodding.com.my review if bro moderno really send a sample unit to them...

Actually is this Zalman paste the same as those zalman paste that is provided when u purchase Zalman cooling products?

Well, then, maybe its time for me to get the Zalman thermal paste and give it a try though..Might be getting it together with the AS5 to check and see the difference..Does it means alot if we use good thermal paste compared to cheapo paste?Will it affect the temperature alot?

Well, then it seems good enough...I never tried any good thermal paste before and since its promising, maybe i will give it a try.The main reason that seems good for me is that the Zalman thermal grease comes in 1 bottle and with brush which does seem easier to apply than the AS5.And it is cheaper as well..

Well, i will try to take some pictures and experience when i get that thermal compound.Might wait until i get my hands on a new Opteron before getting it as well...

Not really..I am staying on my 939 for now.Gettting Dual Core Opteron soon and will try on it..How much is the Zalman selling anyway?

Well, i went to lowyat that day to search for this thermal paste and the price at Sri shocked me.I saw some AS5 at overclocker's united(if i dont remember the name wrongly) but didnt ask for the price as i was aiming for the zalman.There is a few places you can get the zalman in LYP but the cheapest i saw was at ALL IT and its still more expensive than what selling here in bulk.Too bad when i decided to get it from ALL IT, they were closed..darn..Will be going back sometime soon and get it..

Actually how good does the PC Cooler products perform compared to the Zalman series since they are so much alike?

Wow..seems like the Zalman is promising.Now lets just wait of pcmoddingmy to update the review of it..

Well, i might be going to LYP tomorrow and get myself the Zalman there.Any place in LYP also selling AS5?Then maybe i can compare them with my stock Galaxy cooler and see how much difference the Zalman can make on stock..

I agree on this issue.I went to ALL IT the other day just to get this Zalman paste from them and i saw they only have 2 tubes.When i take a look at it, the bottle seems kinda small to me.Out of my expectation that it was so small.Anyway, when i take it out and was on my way to pay, i turn the bottle upside down and it doesnt seem to contain anything..lol..It was really like an empty bottle.Not even a slight drop of thermal paste inside.I know its those hard type but man, it scares the hell out of me as if i am buying a broken product.So i decided to put it back and maybe order from a trusted forummer here..lol..

lol..i know there is thermal paste inside the bottle but the way i see it, it does seem scary.From the outsite, it really looks like empty.Anyway, any user here bought this paste yet?How much does 3.5g can last if i will use it on CPU,Northbridge & GC HSF?I mean will it be enough as i personally havent bought any nice Thermal Paste before..

Yea, waiting for the your result then..If the zalman does do better, than i think many people will switch their eyes to it though..

Well, the problem is that some experience shows that the paste generate a higher temperature than the stock paste.That doesnt seem right would it..Anyway, i think i should stay away from this paste now until someone shows some interesting figures on the paste..

I am wondering, why would applying a good thermal paste such as Zalman will cause the temperature to rise at first rather than dropping when compared to those cheapskate thermal paste?

Well, there are people who is waiting for the Zalman paste to sink in and it seems that its like taking forever.Even worse is that the temperature is even higher than stock paste.That wouldnt worth a change rite..Maybe i should change my mind to go with AS5 instead.Too bad it doesnt come with the brush type.Dont really like those syringe type though..

Well,then it seems like the AS5 is even cheaper than the Zalman.If i didnt remember wrongly, the Zalman is also 3.5g and cost about RM36 at ALL IT...

I am wondering, how good is the Arctic Ceramique?Is it worth the money or maybe just go straight ahead with the AS5?And what is the use of those Arctic Cleaner?Is it really needed as in affecting the temperature in the later time or its just another type of accesories (just to clean it better)?
