I gave up smoking today - AS5 FTW. I've used it for years, fuggin' awesome stuff. Céramique is also a very good paste.

nice one man if only i could stop... golden virginia burns a hole in my wallet

That's pretty much why I've stopped - I don't want to, it's just that it's costing me way too much.



I like smoking.

 

[HUSKIE]

Oh my.. Both CPU's Q6600 working very well.....

 

[MilkyWay]

I used the AC MX3 paste last time i applied, the MX2 before that.
"non electrically conducive, non corrosive, non bleeding and non curing."
The MX4 spreads very well and its just better than the old AS5 and that. There is a 1c-2c difference between MX2 and MX4. Pretty small margins but compared to older pastes its just better and not only in thermal capacity.

Non-Electrical Conductive; remember that as this paste is completely safe. Some pastes had metal partials in it which conducted electricity.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

why not buy arctic silver 5?

because you cant get a 22g tube of AS5 for £6

its like what?? £6-13 just for a small 3.5g tube of the stuff.

plus i dont want to short anything, so it has to be non conductive,

 

[MilkyWay]

your only using a tiny amount i hardly think anyone would need 22g of thermal paste lol

EDIT: Oh yeah the Ceramique is non conductive. The reviews for MX-4 dont compare the paste to Ceramique though so i have no idea if its better or not.

 

[LifeOnMars]

all TIM is the same... within like 2c

QFT. It's the application which can have the biggest effect on temps.

Innocent - I feel your pain man. I'm 31 and I'm a smoker, have been for 11 years now. Only reason I started was because of the stress an ex put me through. Got to say though, nothing better than a relaxing smoke first thing on a morning (other than a bit of morning glory loving )

so do i but there has to be something else too

 

[Spectrum]

i mean alcohol that's when they're most enjoyable

After a meal, that's the best time next to having a pint & a fag.

Its not about how much i need -- its about value for money. Lets re-phraise the question...

If Mr X sells you 10 ounces of cornflower For £30 and Mr Y sells you the same stuff but 5 ounces at £50. which ones the better offer??


3.5g AS5 = £6-13
22g AC Ceramique = £6

youre getting 6x more Tim for your money reguardless of how much you are going to use or need.

After sex, surely

After sex, surely

Usually I want to sleep after sex. My girlfriend is a bit of nymph and requires sex a lot.

Lucky bar steward As long as there are no cuddles afterwards, what is it with girls and cuddles after sex? mad:

 

[MilkyWay]

Thats cornflower though its just the same there is no quality difference, supermarket own brand super strength lager is economical, see its cheap plentiful and gets you pissed fast; yet i highly doubt id choose that because the quality is low and im not a "jakey". I would assume the same applies to thermal paste if you don't need a large amount you can spend less and get better stuff. Another analogy is like comparing pva glue to super glue, you get more pva but its weaker.

Get the Ceramique then since i guess you made your mind up, but id get the MX-4 because it seems pretty good and its better than MX-2 and MX-3 which i know are better than AS5.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

nah. I'l pass on the ceramique. I bounced an email to Graeme at KustomPc (that guy is awesome) and asked for his honest opinion and he said Ceramique is fine for general use but he personally wouldnt use it for high end hardware. hence why im back in the boat with 4g of MX-4 for £3.23

 

[Bo$$]

what are you using it for?
