or allow Liquid Pro to come in contact with any aluminum, or other non-copper surfaces. Aluminum is not resistant against Liquid Pro and will result in damages to any aluminum surface. Aluminum will dissolve when in contact with Liquid PRO.
Who uses alu CPU coolers on this board?!? -.-
Even stuck CPU coolers have copper base.

does it perform anywhere near arctic silver 5
AS5 and Ceramique aren't high performance anymore. AS5 = useless because it's too exspensive considering the better and cheaper alternatives.
Ceramique = can resist -100celsius (good for exotic cooling) and I would never use anything else than ceramique on anything de-lidded (ati gpu, chipset) nor on mosfet or rams. (It's completly non-electric because it's not silver based.

I've used AS5, MX2, Chill Factor II and OCZ Freeze.

Always came back to AS5 though, and up to 4.3GHz it's still working fine It is conductive though so be a tad careful with it.

AS5, MX-2, OCZ Freeze, IC7 Diamond, CLP all work fine, just get the cheapest one. You'll see only a couple degrees difference between them. I personally use IC7 Diamond on my cpu and MX-2 on my GPUs. IC7 Diamond and CLP are kinda annoying to apply, so I would just go with one of the other three.

I prefer OCZ Freeze since it's not conductive like AS5, has no set in period to get its best temps like AS5, and from most tests performs better then AS5.

I think most people who still use AS5 just don't know better, save for orbiter maybe.

I highly recommend Arctic Cooling MX-2 or Tuniq TX-3

OCZ Freeze

No cure time and is non-conductive.

Usually beats AS5.
