Besides AS5, there's also MX-1 frm Arctic Cooling. U could read various reviews & make a conclusion urself. The best conclusion 'll always be ur own testing tongue.gif

I just got this Arctic Ceramique....should I apply it?
No risk?
Im having doubts now on applying it after hearing this.
And can I clean my previous compound with cutex?

Wht risk it's gonna pose ż

Can just use ethanol

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Jul 17 2006, 08:37 PM)
my answer would be MX-1..

it performs on par (or some reviews even say better) than AS5. but the advantage of MX-1 is that it takes a much longer time to deteriorate compared to AS5 according to reviews.

disadvantage....not easy to find.... ull probably only get it if u buy the AC Freezer coolers.

Will there be any side effects by using tissue?  sweat.gif

Tissue paper may break into pieces and leave all the bulu bulu. These will reduce the conductivity of heat as tissue papers are poor conductors.

Just dont use too cheapo tissues lah. Otherwise should b fine. Many forumers hav also done it dis way wink.gif

Okay, now that explains... rclxms.gif

Now only i understand why it is called liquid metal...

Have anyone tried it before? brows.gif

Nope, I dont


QUOTE(empire23 @ Nov 24 2006, 09:47 PM)
Remember that the liquid metal (probably gallium arsenide) retards aluminium's ability to create a protective oxide layer, so using it on anything with aluminium is a nono.

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Nov 24 2006, 11:17 PM)
What about using it on copper? blink.gif

Will it "eat" copper too? sweat.gif
*
Nope. This is due to aluminium's high reactivity compared to copper. They're world's apart indeed (those who study chemistry knw dis well)


QUOTE(id86 @ Nov 27 2006, 10:35 PM)
is it have other methods other than lapping to remove oxide layer or dont want it to form?
*
Chemically but not feasible unless u hav own lab w/ safety equipments, necessary apparatus so on.

Dilute sol (2M) of Sodium Hydroxide is normally used to clean aluminium & acetic acid for copper
