hahaha..then i will here waiting for ur result.....coz i am using AS-5 now..if MX-1 is really better then might consider to get one after my AS-5 finish

MX-1 is better. I can't remember where I've seen the review but it was about 2-3'c lower compared to AS-5.......

Wished I knew that earlier, would have bought the MX-1 instead!!!

Im not sure, but the paste that we get free with TR heatsinks are good too
1-2C higher compared to AS5. not too shabby

And people was discussing which thermal paste was better than the AS5 last time ..The AS5 seems unbeatable during that time and now, there is plenty out there..Darn..

To be honest, even the Chill Factor which was supposed to beat the AS5 doesnt really perform to what i had expected. Therefore, i am still sticking to my AS5 for every component that needs it..

hehe..nvm lar bro..wait till finish AS-5 then get MX-1 d lor..me too me too.. ..if i knew bout this earlier..sure i get MX-1 d..coz both also same price..anyone using MX-1 here?..can share their opinion?

hahaha me still think want to buy it or not from the bulk

cause i jut get as5 12g damd still lot of it now want to buy another one

hahaha..me too leh..just got a brand new as-5 to buddle with my gigabyte g power...although used for twice d..but stil got a lot..hehehe...may we can buy together next time in the bulk, mayb can get cheaper..lol

lol..i got the small tube of AS5, used countless time already, applied on GC, Proc, NB etc and still have alot..

Any user on MX-1 care to comment about its performance against the AS5?

Errr.... I still have the AS5, CM nanofusion, TIM from Noctua HSF and TIM from chipset heatsink. Probably won't finish any of these in years!!!

I've been searching around for that excellent comparison between TIMs which included the AS5 and AS-MX-1. Can't seem to find it.....

i am using MX-1 now previous AS5
temp better a bit i guess since now i using lower cfm fan compared to before when i use higher CFM fan with AS5.

Temp currently no difference.

hmmm..interesting...at one time AS-5 was well known as the best thermal interface...now MX-1 is here to compete the title

didn't notice any temp changes (if got i think oso 1 or celcius max)... but i use mx-1 coz it's non conductive, hence i can easily apply to all those smaller chipset which has passive cooler (heat sink) installed)... as it's no metal base so it should last longer, no need reapply after long use... but i think most of us change cooler or paste after only few months, hehehe...

Hmm may i ask, how many thermal paste that i need to fill in the cpu that metal there?
I saw some picture just put a small dot there, but for my cpu metal there i plug out the heatsink then i saw whole metal is thermal paste.( i'm sure not just put a dot there. "
So how many that i need to fill ?

just put a dot will do.
when u apply on heatsink on the CPU later, the thermal paste will spread out.

It really depends on certain thermal paste. At best, search at their website and see how should it be applied. For AS5, it is using rice grain method where you will only put a rice grain size thermal paste at the proc and spread it using the HSF. Others such as Zalman and TR Chill Factor will need you to spread it out using a card to all over the proc...

Whats the application method for the AC MX-1 ? Is it small grain of rice like AS5 or spread all over the surface?

If only this post came up a few days earlier, I just bought one tube AS5 from moderno, and I saw he got stock of MX1....

normally i just put a dot..then let the heatsink do its job when i fix it..hehe..

My best guess, it should be just using the rice grain method. Try asking ianho for confirmation as he have the MX-1.

Did a research on their website and it did show using rice grain method and spread it using the HSF:

I see, ok i try get some info for that. XD.
Because last time i just buy those cheap cheap themal paste that selling at box on flour that kind. Didn't search any branded 1. Next time try search at Low Yat c c .

hehe..those cheap cheap one no use one lar..poor performance compare to AS-5 or MX-1...wondering low yat got sell it?..why u dun wan get from the bulk?..easier and cheaper i think
