I am using Zalman Thermal Grease, ZM-STG1, serve me well so far, not very familiar with thermal grease, it comes with my CPU cooler, then use la, haha.... Give any opinion on this grease thanks!!!~

it seems like AS5 rules
but i wonder, how do we measure the quality and performance of the thermal paste?
and is there any thermal paste that better than AS5?

I think the better term is really subjective. Many people do look at review but obviously, you will really need to try it yourself to know whether its better or not. Better than AS5 wise, many reviews had shown TIM like Chill Factor and MX-1 is better. However, i have tested Chill Factor myself which is less or almost the same performance as compared with the AS5. Therefore, i guess you really need to test out to see whether or not they are better...

the diff of thermal paste are juz few degree, i spot almost no diff or maybe 1c or 2c between as5 and ceramique, juz ordered chill factor frm bulk section and looking forward to try it, btw juz to remind way of applying as5 and chill factor are difference.... but i gotto test it out 1st... the results might diff with every mounting and ways of application.

I'm using Artic Silver 5.

toothpaste??? for real??? better get those super strong mint flavour then... lol...

I forgot to add minyak kapak to the poll lol...my crazy friend was using minyak kapak for 1 year on his barton lol...got minty smell wan xD

I'm AS5 user...i wonder if a biji of cooked rice can be used as TIM?

MX-1 really so good ?Better than AS5? LAter maybe i will have a try on this product.THe cooling testing in overclocker paradise also tested and MX-1 result is better than AS5.

Yup, MX-1 is slightly better.
Btw, i'm using the Thermal Paste which came with my Cooler Master Aero7 heatsink. Cheapo coolermaster thermal paste i'd say, but it's still not that bad.

all not much different wan...just that u take some fine grain sand paper (2000 rating) and go lap the heatsink till u can see ur face then sure very good ade wan =D

But i heard that the MX-1 price is cheaper than the AS5 a lot,is it true ?

Just when most ppl haf tried n found that the MX-1 is pretty good, it's now moved on to MX-2!!!! I'll b trying it out as soon as AC send's sum 2 me.

AS5 user here.

toothpaste really work. previuosly got review testing thermal paste and they include toothpaste...

can perform as thermal paste but once cooled down, it dry up. cant be used anymore. for cooked rice grain, i really doubt it. minyak kapak is something new to me...

@uncle ianho
MX2? uncle selling it? interested in getting it as AS5 nearly finish and i think it's expired too lol

its the same price as the AS5.RM25 the last time i checked.

Oh,i then maybe is the difference selling in other places.Not very sure though,my friend told me one.
