LuckyDeath Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I use (and love) Arctic Cooling MX-2. It's big brother MX-4 won the TIM Roundup over at XSReviews or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazwegion Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I believe Vegemite & tooth paste are the most environmentally safe thermally transmissive products equal to AS3 (or thereabouts) Dan's Data 2009 thermal product round up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 AS5 is in the lead? What is this 2005? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I used AS5 till my big tube ran out, use MX2 now for air and water cooling... Artic silver ceramic for cold... I tried IC7 diamond once and it removed the etching from the cpu.... Doesnt really matter much to me hell I ran with none before...

MandoPatriot Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Thermal-Compound-Roundup-July-2011/1334/5 I personally use AS5 but it is so expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickk47 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 AS5... Never used anything else before and it seems to do its job, never failed me, and it's easy to apply and clean off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I use Shin Etsu G751. Before that I used Tuniq TX-2. Both are good TIMs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschmidt71 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 READ THIS and THIS REVIEW before making your decision. they are both ongoing 2011 reviews AS5 (or 4, or 3...) sux. don't use it. it is HIGHLY overrated. PK-1, MX-2, are very good and easy to find at a reasonable cost. Indigo Xtreme is THE best - bar none. coolab liquid metal - don't use it. the diamond pastes are also very good and don't have any cure time, but can "polish" the heatsink and CPU spreader over time - if that is a concern for you then don't use it. sorry for my agressive tone in this, but i see so often that people make recommendations based on what they have done....but they have only ever done ONE THING!! look at the reviews posted throughout this thread and make your own decision. the ones i have posted are 2011 articles and still ongoing, but have tested some of the major brands - and some unknowns....even many which are listed in this thread. read both the reviews i linked above...compare them for consistency (different review sights have different methods for how they review a product, but as long as they are consistent then so should the results between sights), and then come to your own conclusion.
