The best way is still to use Arctic Cleaner before applying any thermal paste on top of the heatsink...

QUOTE(lucifah @ Oct 29 2006, 10:33 PM) there's arctic cleaner Yerp, lucifah is right...u can also use alcohol (the ones used to clean cassette / video tape heads) or u can use perfumes to clean (perfumes do have alcohol content too) de best and cheapest is the alcohol (rm1.20 per bottle and can last u for years) Those are the best way to remove the old thermal paste... Remember not to put the thermal paste too thin or too thick... |

QUOTE(kofsiong @ Nov 3 2006, 09:19 PM) after u clean ur proc then apply again lor.. Paiseh, no need to reapply every half month la, if you really care about you're processor, just reapply it every two months is enough already... better clean ur proc between half month if not u will get a lot of dust mixed with ur AS5... |

Anyone know how to remove the IHS on the LGA775 processor?
Thinking of taking it out to make a direct contact on the core to the heatsink... |

QUOTE(yeewensmc @ Nov 10 2006, 12:09 PM) Hi guys, i've change the cpu to a place that better air flow. And i think the AS5 already sink in cause already one week i've put it. The bios always reports a higher temps...But the temp reading is still da same. I'm using everest to check da temp. But some of u guys says everest is not accurate. So i check in the BIOS, the reading come even worst than the everest. Now only i knew tat the everest is not accurate cause my BIOS reading is 60C when idle. My everest show 56C when idle. So anybody can help me? Put AS5 but still da same. Now i want to use MBM or coretemp to test again. Coz in the bios, the processor, northbridge is running at 50%... "Sources from ASUS" That's why in bios, the temps tend to be higher than what you've got in windows... In windows, if there is zero program running in background, you're processor sometimes running at 0%... |

QUOTE(akachester @ Nov 10 2006, 05:02 PM) 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.. I've used CM nano before, but it doesn't perform well if compared to AS5, furthermore, CM Nano is very hard to apply on the processor...It's too "hard" |

QUOTE(yeewensmc @ Nov 10 2006, 04:40 PM) Hi Kataro, my dad and mom hometown also near ur place Muar Sungai mati there. 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... AS5 need 200hours to sink in. Already 9 days i didnt turn off my pc. So i think already over 200 hours gua. I turn off my pc 1-2 hours a day only. The heat that came from the processor, GPU or northbridge chipset will make the paste sink in the heatsink... You need heat, not cold... |

It wins in terms of easier applying compared to AS5... But in terms of performance, it got the same or better result, but not lower result then AS5... Abg moderno, harga berapa tu? |

QUOTE(yeewensmc @ Nov 11 2006, 01:05 AM) Hi guys. I think i've no choice ... i think u guys better dun buy the CoolerMaster Hyper L3 . Cost me Rm105 from SriCom. You don't actually buy that heatsink is it? Is better than the original P4 heatsink because it was silent. But performance wise... keep away from this. Not really much different from the stock heatsink. Why "bazir" that kind of money for that heatsink? You can even know the performance of that heatsink once you see it liao... |

QUOTE(yeewensmc @ Nov 14 2006, 06:49 PM) Hi shawty ... dun understand wat u mean... Not exactly like that, ok, let me explain, that CM Hyper L3 is a very small heatsink, with just 3 heatpipe, damn it's performance in cooling is too low... You can even know the performance of that heatsink once you see it liao ? Furthermore, read what CoolerMaster says about this heatsink: QUOTE Hyper L3 is a SiLent Low profile LGA 775 cooler. It is composed by 3 heat pipes and copper base (with nickel-plating finish) for best cooling performance. All in one and screw-less design cutting installation steps and saving your time. |

QUOTE(neoxz @ Nov 15 2006, 11:35 PM) 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. And yeah, where can we find that kind of "Liquid Metal" And also, this is the best to be used between a proc and HSF. http://www.coollaboratory.com/ Liquid Metal!!! |

QUOTE(akachester @ Nov 16 2006, 06:15 PM) 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.. I agree on that...akachester, don't forget to share with us you're experience in using that zalman thermal paste... If can, take some pictures while you doing it bro... Wanna see how did you apply it on you're processor... |
