I just go Low Yat buy staff 1, sometime i walkaround then c c got what staff buy and buy at there. Then Low Yat which thermal paste that i can find ?

I had clean my gf pc for all dust thing there, i also plug out the cpu heatsink and clean it but i just apply little bit those thermal paste and slot back, but the temperature is around 40 something till 50 ºC, then i replug again the temperature now is around 40 something. So maybe i get new thermal paste and apply again, because the thermal paste that i use no more already.

Are you using aftermarket/third party HSF?If you are, then its at best to get a good thermal paste as it will be very helpful in decreasing the temperature. After all, a good HSF always need a good thermal paste to function well..

However, if you are not, then i guess its still no harm in using a good thermal paste but of course, you wouldnt see the true potential of it.Maybe a slight 2 - 3c decrease (my best guess)...

I tried before AS5 on a P4 2.8E with stock HSF. It was a Waste of Paste no temp drop also after curing...

I tried using the AS5 before on stock Opteron Heatpipe cooler and it did decrease "slightly" only. Around 2 - 3c. But a change to better HSF really shows the true potential..

i see, because i need to apply again the thermal paste, just c got any nice thermal paste or not.
If need to use third party thermal paste...... then maybe i still get cheap thermal paste XD. Because i'm still using that P4 stock HSF.

Well, you can choose either to use or not.Either way, the effects would not be alot..Cause if you really intent to stick with P4 stock HSF, there is no point in wasting money and get those expensive thermal paste..

ermm..stock hsf fan with gud thermal paste cant give u gud result actually..coz thermal paste act like a medium to improve heat transfer from ur proc to heatsink..so if u hav a gud thermal paste but ur heatsink not gud as it cant take so much heat at one time.. at the end the effect stil not too big..and u will wasted the gud thermal paste d..
-so my suggestion..pair a gud thermal paste with nice heatsink..then u will notice the result...my proc almost drop 10C when i change my hsf and used AS-5

I see, maybe look around c how for my gf pc, don't know wheather she want change or not. Anywhere thank you for the info .

hhehe..mayb u can change to mid range or low range of heatsink...since u not oc ur gf pc ma...so i think mid range should be enough d..need around rm100 to rm150 then u can get one d

Any suggestion ah? I'm not OC my pc and my gf pc, event thought my pc running with c2d and 7900gs there.

ermm..tats a lot of choice out there..depends on u actually...ermm..mayb u can try ask moderno coz he is one of the dealer for many big brand..and i deal b4 with him..quite nice guy ...or may u can google around..but must remember 2 things, ur mobo compatibility and also ur casing size..

got depend what pentium socket ?? or other need to care ?

ya..of course depends on ur socket type also lor..hehe..ermm..and ur budjet gua..and u must check whether the new heatsink will clash with ur mobo component or ram or graphic or not..

ya o, those heat sink so "huge". Ok i c around forum here XD.
Thank again XD.

maybe AC freezer series might fit your favour

Yes, i do agree that Arctic Cooling products seems to be cheap and perform quite well..Try look into that matter..

Anyway, to be honest, if your gf dont mind using that stock cooling, i dont see why there is a need to change to a better HSF.Yes, maybe it will prolong the life of the processor but i am pretty sure the stock HSF is enough if the cpu is running on stock speed..lol..

Anyway, this topic is for discussion of TIM. I guess we should stay away from HSF discussion..lol..

hehe..ya..artic cooling is included in the middle range of hsf...ai yah bro akachester, sometime we no need follow the law so close ma, he just asking few opinion only.nvm lar..as long as we didnt change the whole thread to discuss hsf d can lor.. .hahahha..no offence ya..just my opinion..

lol..i noe lar..scare later mod come susah ma..lol..

Anyway, besides AS5, Chill Factor, MX-1, ACeramique, any other type of good TIM you guys had tried before?I ony did on Zalman which was such a waste of money as well as CM..

ermm...i did try b4 those unbranded one..hahha..totally can throw into dustbin..for CM, i dun trust CM product ,for example their fans or hsf, OEM product with poor performance !!

CM fans are still ok, definitely not the best..So do their HSF. At least they are not that expensive anyway when compared to those higher end ones...

I tried quite a number of TIM before (not sure why i am addicted to those) like the Zalman Super Thermal Grease, CM High Performance Thermal Grease, AS5, TR Chill Factor, Zerotherm & Noctua Thermal Grease (these i got from the coolers i bought), and to be honest, i am still sticking towards the AS5.

But my impression might be changed since i am getting the MX-1 soon..
