camaro_dude15 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 it was 2 dollars, i still have some noctua compound left over from my last build, i just wanted to try it, it was an impulse buy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 yes it is if your not going to do someting right why bother doing it at all Arctic Silver 5 Thermal http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007&cm_re=artic_silver_5-_-35-100-007-_-Product AS5 is ok, but cure time is annoying and certainly isn't the best anymore. Camaro, just use any goop leftover from any of your after market coolers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaro_dude15 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) well when it gets here in 5-7 days, i will do some experimenting and find out if cheap stuff is better than free included tim, lol, and then put on noctua compound, unless the cheap one does good enough i'll i save my noctua for a future build, im not ocing this as this is going to be a htpc for my brother, the second pc in my signature is the loud pc in question i might try some coolermaster compound that came with my v6 if i can find the box, i havent thrown a way a single box, anti static bag, or even manual and driver disk, since i started messing with computers, my basement has all kinds of little treasures, except a molex to pci adapter and molex to sata, which is why i was placing an order on newegg in the first place Edited April 27, 2011 by camaro_dude15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercuryDoun Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 I hate how people still think AS5 is the best... Sure it was the best like 6 YEARS ago... Now? I can think of two off the top of my head that are like 2c-5c better than AS5: AS-MTX AC MX-4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RimX Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 I prefer diamonds. This is what I'm using, and it works great. Nice cool temps all around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 I use Shin Etsu X23-7783D for my OCed i7. I also like the Shin-Etsu G751, and all of the Tuniq tims. Haven't used the TX-4, but the TX-2 and TX-3 were very solid tims, so I'm sure the 4 is solid also! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
