Depends on your application. But for air and watercooled rigs, metal based/AS5 kind of thermal compound is best. But if you are doing phase change or subzero temps, use non- metal based/ceramique kinda of thermal compound. AS5 has been non to crystalize in subzero temps.
This is what I gather from reading in Xtremesystems. |

QUOTE(zahri @ Mar 31 2006, 03:04 PM) erm.... Anything below 0C use Ceramique. From CPU to Peltier use Ceramique, from Peltier to Heatsink - AS5 will be fine.so if i wanted to use a peltier on my cpu cooling for instance, i shud get the artic ceramique ? to transfer heat from cpu to peltier and peltier to waterblock ?

QUOTE(coolmast3r @ Mar 31 2006, 03:19 PM) owh..thanx.. You can but it is definitely better to use it with water. It is not worth getting into the hassle of peltier cooling using a small wattage pelt with air cooling. Air cooling as sahri said, might not be able to cool the pelt.btw..can i use pelt wihout watercooling? i have a pelt that was bought from a forumer a while ago.. wishing to use the pelt with my ati silencer for my gc.. izit possible? |
