IINM, if you want to sink in the AS5 paste, you have to make it sink while the pc is on, not by turning it off... sweat.gif

The heat that came from the processor, GPU or northbridge chipset will make the paste sink in the heatsink...

You need heat, not cold... laugh.gif

You've got it all wrong la. To burn in the thermal paste, you'll need both heat and cold. High changes in temp will make the paste to settle in faster. So, you'll actually need to turn on and off. doh.gif

And also, this is the best to be used between a proc and HSF.

At what price?

Furthermore, if it's liquid metal, there's no way i'm going to use that to replace my thermal paste, too risky, what if some drops, dropped on my motherboard? sweat.gif

Later got my motherboard fried kua... laugh.gif

So then, it's proved that this kind of thermal paste is much much safer if compared to "Liquid Metal"

**Neoxz,
Why don't u try using liquid metal first? brows.gif

No money di lo. U sponsor me liquid metal la and sure i'll try.

Anyways.. it not much different. really.

While it is not electrically conductive, the compound is very slightly capacitive and could potentially cause problems if it bridges two close-proximity electrical paths.)

so basically wont fry so easily, LOL tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

Why must we argue on this again and again... sweat.gif  biggrin.gif  laugh.gif

No matter which on is safer, there's still no one wanted to try using Liquid Metal... sweat.gif

The only reason people dont want to use liquid metal is not because it's conductive la shawty. Get ur facts right.

It's because it can "eat" through alu. icon_idea.gif

I'm using Accelero X2 now... sweat.gif

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... sweat.gif

Shawty, didnt u read the rules?

Saw superfly from HSF review.. just use one small drop of As5. I think smaller than grain size coz need to be thin..

3/4 of a BB size as suggested by AS
