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

But, the price... sweat.gif

Well, what the heck...
You want good performance, then go for the best looo... wink.gif

there's arctic cleaner

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)

Yerp, lucifah is right...
Those are the best way to remove the old thermal paste... icon_rolleyes.gif

Remember not to put the thermal paste too thin or too thick... thumbup.gif

after u clean ur proc then apply again lor..
better clean ur proc between half month
if not u will get a lot of dust mixed with ur AS5...

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... shakehead.gif

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... rclxms.gif

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.

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.  rclxub.gif

So anybody can help me? Put AS5 but still da same.

Now i want to use MBM or coretemp to test again.

The bios always reports a higher temps...

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... wink.gif

In windows, if there is zero program running in background, you're processor sometimes running at 0%... tongue.gif

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" sweat.gif

Hi Kataro, my dad and mom hometown also near ur place Muar Sungai mati there.

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.
*
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

Woot...
Seems like the Zalman thermal paste is a winner... drool.gif

It wins in terms of easier applying compared to AS5... wink.gif

But in terms of performance, it got the same or better result, but not lower result then AS5... cool.gif

Hi guys. I think i've no choice ... i think u guys better dun buy the CoolerMaster Hyper L3 . Cost me Rm105 from SriCom.

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.
*
You don't actually buy that heatsink is it? sweat.gif

Why "bazir" that kind of money for that heatsink?
You can even know the performance of that heatsink once you see it liao... rclxub.gif

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... sweat.gif

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.

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.

Liquid Metal!!! cool.gif

And yeah, where can we find that kind of "Liquid Metal" sweat.gif

since my AS5 have running out of stock ... i guess i will give a try on Zalman paste then...

You can try ask rlhh to import it for you.

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

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... notworthy.gif

If can, take some pictures while you doing it bro...

Wanna see how did you apply it on you're processor... thumbup.gif
