is that paste the best for our intel cpus?

 

[compuman145]

Nope

Arctic silver thermal epoxy
Arctic silver 5
Arctic cooling MX3

I'm not sure everyone's going to agree with this, especially the AS5.

The only one in that group that is worth mentioning is the MX3.

 

[compuman145]

Check this out

Arctic Silver 5 Polysynthetic Thermal Compound (4) Polysynthetic Silver Low / Thin 37.55°C

Shin-Etsu MicroSi X-23 7783D (0) Aluminum Oxide High / Thick 37.75°C

 

[genuine555]

I'd say MX-3, IC7 and OCZ freeze.
OCZ freeze is really cheap but performs mighty well and can stand up against these other two IMO.

Funny... I was under the Impression that Shin Etsu is really good. Same stuff that came with my H50 and it worked great.

Cool lab liquid metal pro any1?!?! There was the ultra version of it dunno if its available ...

everyone knows mx-3 is the bests =)

Thats the Shin-Etsu MicroSi G751

Not the one you specified.

It is good, but not the best. Don't get me wrong, you'll notice minimal temp decreases if you were to repaste your H50. Which is a fecking EPIC, that right, EPIC cooler.

I love the fact its so small and cute.

WINNER!

omg are different?
so am about to change thermal paste on cpu gpu and chipset.
which one is the best for all chips
thx

 

[stumped]

i've used both mentioned iterations of Shin -Etsu, and from my experience compared to AS5, i got better temps with Shin-Etsu. I tested it many times, and even tested Shin-Etsu against the IC7 and Shin-Etsu came out on top with my e6550.

def i wont use as5 coz its electric conductive
so which Shin-Etsu should i use for cpu gpu and chipset
can you show me a website that ships to uk?
maybe ebay?

It doens't matter if they are conductive. As long as you don't cover the processor with paste you're all good.

And go to www.scan.co.uk or www.overclockers.co.uk

Epoxy? No no no.

That's not purposed for CPU usage. Epoxy is meant to stick things on permanently. (For use on stuff like RAMsinks)

 

[PsikyoJebus]

AS5 is good, but it requires a lifetime and a half for it to cure in properly, making it somewhat useless compared to other thermal compounds, like shin etsu's G751, OCZ freeze, or many others, that have little to no curing time and perform better. One review is not convincing enough.
