Thanks, bought 3. Ran out of paste a long time ago when I used what came with my Megahalem. You never know when you'll need them. I had a MX-3 with a little paste left over and used it on my old 7600gt that was always running hot. It took 15 degrees off of it.

This stuff works really well. Better than the average paste you can buy. I applied this paste between the CPU die and IHS and got an average of 20C drop:

A rice grain sized amount in the center, and then you can use a piece of plastic to evenly spread that over the whole area. I asked a buddy of mine what her IT guys use on their servers and she told me Arctic Silver 5. She also said they use Windex to clean thermal paste off when they have to re-apply it. Typically Ive used 90% pure alcohol, but next time I will give the Windex trick a try. Just be wary of any thermal paste that has metal in it, because a stray blob of it on your mobo can short it out. AS5 has metal in it, this MX2 doesnt. When in doubt, google the directions on how a company suggest to apply their paste or read some pages that talk about paste application in general. There are a few different methods. |
