guys,
wanna ask your all bout arctic silver 5. ya..ya..i know MX-2 is currently the best, but i still have plenty of AS5 lying around and according to goldfries, MX-2 only differs buy 1 degree.

anyway, my question is, do I need to keep applying fresh AS5 after a period of time to maintain optimum performance?

I read that some of you guys have problem with hardened AS5 after a while. does this happen to MX-2 also? cause i'm just plain lazy to change new coat of TIM every now and then. if MX-2 can perform/last longer, i might consider ditching my AS5.

New results of TIM performance. Funny, AS5 still not too bad.
