Are you going to use them on air-cooling?

i just want to know the performance for both thermal grease..
hope ppl can just share their experience in using AS5 and Zalman STG1..
no matter in air-cooling or water-cooling..

That article compares two thermal compound.Common sence la....
Anyway if you can't read or see here's the result obtained from the 2 thermal compunds.

this is another competitor in thermal paste industry Cooler Master NanoFusion, but still Zalman ZM-STG1 is the best rite now..

so rite now we just w8 moderno give a zalman ZM-STG1 sample to pcmoddingmy.com for reviews..

i think the results shud be the same like others.. zalman has made an improved thermal paste and it is considered a good news to overclockers thumbup.gif

Well, then, maybe its time for me to get the Zalman thermal paste and give it a try though..Might be getting it together with the AS5 to check and see the difference..Does it means alot if we use good thermal paste compared to cheapo paste?Will it affect the temperature alot?
*
u can drop 5-10degrees of ur normal temp but u must have a good coolers as well to dissipate out the heat from heatsink..

well if we can see, thermal paste such as AS5 or ZM-STG1 have a particle size that are finer than the cheapo 1 it will make the surface contact to transfer heat between heatsink n cpu/chipset will be more and efficient..
summore.. both of the thermal paste are silver base so that its transfer heat more efficient compared to normal thermal paste..

Sweet...
Can't wait for the results...

Eih, will PCMM make a comparison review between Arctic Silver 5 & that Zalman Thermal Paste?

I think they should... thumbup.gif

i think so... dunno whether they have done before reviews for AS5 sweat.gif

QUOTE(Doom @ Nov 25 2006, 01:18 AM)
i visted LYP today and check out on the Zalman thermal paste in close...

realized that the bottle looks dry and the liquid seems to be dried ...

dare not to buy it the time scared it is not as smooth as it suppose to be ....
*
actually it's not a liquid..it's just the same as AS5 with the same amount of 3.5g in a big(consider big for 3.5g contents in about 10ml bottle)
u cant see the thermal grease just by looking the packaging.. whistling.gif


QUOTE(knighty @ Nov 25 2006, 05:51 PM)
The bottle I got from the all IT hypermarket was dry..

is it really dried? sweat.gif sweat.gif

i've got many stock for this.. dun tell me it's all dried out... but until now ppl buying from me all ok with no complaints thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

ermm.. seem like stock thermal paste is better than AS5 and STG1.. doh.gif

Maybe it takes time to settle in 1st before its really shows the true performance.. hope so... sweat.gif sweat.gif

overclocker paradise is selling AS5

edited (Off Topic): is there any special method to apply zalman ZM-STG1? i just got that from moderno and after i applied it, my processor temp is higher (4-5c) than previously. before this, i used stock grease from intel. is it i need wait it to sink in before i can see the difference?

1. i used artic cleaner to clean my processor.
2. i put the grease on all the surface of the processor.

any problem with my application? i already checked the processor heatsink, it is properly intact.
*
it is just my opinion.. correct me if i'm wrong.. i think thermal paste such as AS5 and zalman STG1 need a good heatsink to be compiled together..

it is because when using high performance TIM the heat transferred is more efficient than normal paste..

so for that matter we need a good heatsink to dissipate the heat out quickly and efficiently.. thumbup.gif

I think stock cooler cant do that.. whistling.gif

besides small it also look empty ... i had asked my friends that is not familiar with the stuff...

"what you will get for what you pay for?"

they look at the bottle for while and answered me

"what are you paying for anyway?" , "empty bottle? ", "what is this for??", "why nothing in there?"
....
small bottle that look empty..... too bad can't fine any good deal on AS5 smaller tube....

maybe will pay my old friend at Robyn Imbi a visit for it ....
*
like i said b4 ler bro.. the bottle is about 10ml but its contain only 3.5g thermal paste same quantity as AS5 there.. wink.gif

btw.. still hoping for better results from PCmoddingMy.. sweat.gif

lol..i know there is thermal paste inside the bottle but the way i see it, it does seem scary.From the outsite, it really looks like empty.Anyway, any user here bought this paste yet?How much does 3.5g can last if i will use it on CPU,Northbridge & GC HSF?I mean will it be enough as i personally havent bought any nice Thermal Paste before..
*
it shud be enough ler bro.. tongue.gif

if u use on CPU,Northbridge & GC it shud last up to 3 times thumbup.gif

Talking about cleaning heatsinks, guess what I use to clean heatsink base and CPU IHS...

I use minyak kapak..... Yes, minyak kapak (Axe Branded Medicated Oil).  flex.gif
Just put one or two drops onto a tissue paper and wipe it over the heatsink base or CPU IHS top. It cleans pretty well but leaves a little oil on the surface. So, grab another clean tissue and wipe away the oil. Go give it a try and restore that shine back to your heatsink/CPU!

Minyak kapak good for nose blocks, headaches, etc and now cleaning heatsinks too! No kidding~  icon_rolleyes.gif

wow.. we learn sumthing new today.. minyak kapak can use as cleaner shocking.gif

if using this trick does it affect the TIM performance?
