QUOTE(Polar_012 @ Sep 12 2007, 03:03 AM) Possible, opt for Arctic Cooling's TIM. They are not electric conductors. Arctic Cooling fanboy detected  Ceramique is non-capacitative, CM Nanofusion as well

QUOTE(overclockalbert @ Aug 31 2007, 11:45 PM) to be precise, it's thermal adhesive. once u attach it, u will be having hard time removing it.
it's better then the so call 'double side tape' Thermal Adhesive is thermal glue, not tape
Added on August 31, 2007, 11:49 pmit depand on what kind of the Tim u used. some TIM which have metal substance in it will have potential to leak into yr mobo if u apply too much, which u will end up RMA yr mobo  and your processor as well if there's a gap between the substrate and the die This post has been edited by wodenus: Sep 27 2007, 12:00 PM |

QUOTE(blessedvillain @ Dec 17 2007, 02:38 PM) New results of TIM performance. Funny, AS5 still not too bad. It's not too bad if you want to take the risk of shorting out something you're comparing something that isn't conductive to something that's conductive Ceramique is stupidly cheap compared to MX-2, at that price it's a pretty good buy for people who are always swapping processors in and out This post has been edited by wodenus: Dec 18 2007, 11:54 PM |

QUOTE(nvidia @ Dec 19 2007, 02:44 AM) QUOTE(Arctic Silver) Not Electrically Conductive. Arctic Silver 5 was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity.
(While much safer than electrically conductive silver and copper greases, Arctic Silver 5 should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads. 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.) We wouldn't know whether other non-conductive TIM are capacitive or not right? I haven't seen shortcircuit happen due to Artic Silver 5 yet. Anyway proper installation and application of TIM wouldn't cause any shorting to happen. Okay capacitative then sheesh
Added on December 19, 2007, 4:48 amQUOTE(clawhammer @ Dec 19 2007, 02:52 AM) I've been using Arctic Silver 2/3 all these while until recently to MX2. The Arctic Silver doesn't really short components and if I use it to do pin mods on my AXP previously, it doesn't even work I still need conductive pen or pencil. It's quite easy to short a processor... first find one that has exposed connector pins (like the S423 ones) and then put way too much AS on it. Accidentally put your thumb on the heat spreader. Then when installing, hold the board so that traces of AS are everywhere. When you install the heatsink, the TIM will leak out the sides onto the exposed pins and short them.

Pretty much confirmed.. nanofusion hardens after a while for whatever reason MX2 works for me. |
