GBR Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 FS: Shin Etsu X23-7783D thermal compound ! Brand new thermal compound from Shin Etsu! X23-7783D This new compound should be a incremental improvement over X23-7762... the main difference is that Shin Etsu will use smaller particle size and keep the particle size uniform...in order to reduce thermal resistance. Price Reduction!! $6.00 each ... shipping included Paypal is blueskybasin AT centurytel DOT net Based on recent shipping experience, I highly recommend upgrading to Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation Buy 4 tubes or more and I'll upgrade for free. Buy 1 tube and the upgrade costs $3.15 Buy 2 tubes and the upgrade costs $2.85 Buy 3 tubes and the upgrade costs $1.50 I also have Shin Etsu G751 and Shin Etsu X23-7762 ----------------------------------------- http://www.ocshoot.no/paste.htm Interesting review. The fact that Shin Etsu G751, X23-7762, and X23-7783D were the top three products was nice to see. But also interesting was that Arctic Silver AS5, AS3, and Ceramique completed the top 6....and the difference berween the top 6 pastes was less than 1 degree. In other words, they are all extremely good pastes. I think the Shin Etsu is the safest and longest lasting...but the same quality that makes it long lasting also makes good application technique important. The fact that G751 was the top performer also makes me happy, and shows just how much of an art cooling with these compounds is. X23-7762 has higher heat transfer, and X23-7783D has both higher heat transfer and lower thermal resistance...so both should outperform G751....and they usually do. But not in this test with the heatsink, mounting pressures, and application methods used. And I think that's just how thermal compounds are.... results vary, and the only way to tell the best compound for a specific use is testing. Although as this test shows with all 6 top compounds performing so closely to each other, that it is hard to produce further improvments. It is more a case of matching the compounds to the surface of the chip abn the finish of the heatsink. The article had a a note from Shin Etsu's engineer: "The difference between the two greases is that 7783D will fill the gaps and irregular surfaces of the heatsink and CPU better then 7762. But if the surfaces of the CPU and heatsink are very smooth they could come out with the same temperatures. " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
