l1o2l Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 300 Hour curing time for Artic Silver Matrix... OMG Anybody know how to reduce this? I'm getting higher temps than the generic silicone compound I used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 excuse me? Yeah use Noctuas NT-H1 compound or OCZ Freeze if you can find it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
l1o2l Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Spent 8 bucks for this lovely crap... LOL That's what it says on the website, and I don't feel like buying more thermal paste. Edited July 16, 2011 by l1o2l Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goth Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) MX-3... I have it and its Excellent. Edit: Temps wise its just a couple of degree difference. But MX-3= No curing time and easier to apply. Edited July 16, 2011 by Goth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) I would say the Arctic Silver Céramique: Break-in period: 25 hours (Break-in period will occur during normal use.) It performs nearly the same as the good old Arctic Silver 5, but not with that 200 Hour break-in overhead. I bought it a few days ago on Amazon Marketplace for $10 shipped (the bigger 25g syringe). Hardware Secrets has the biggest thermal comparison list I've seen so far. Edited July 16, 2011 by Krazyxazn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccokeman Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Maje sure you cycle the power a few times as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
90sgamer Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Yeah use Noctuas NT-H1 compound or OCZ Freeze if you can find it! I loved OCZ Freeze, but haven't seen it in ages! Did OCZ discontinue it? It was a great TIM. I've been using Tuniq TX-2, seems to work pretty well with my Thermaltake Frio and i7 930. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 What was your application method?? The less you use the shorter break in will be. I have gone as far as to spread it on the chip with a razor blade And embedding the hsf with it with a Terrie cloth. The idea is great but its not much worth it as its only a marginal gain. Just for information what heat sink and chip are you using and what is the overclock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
