kendellrt Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 What do you think? I have never noticed a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrascope Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I absolutely think it brakes in as I have seen temps change over the break in period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I think it does as well. temps droped by 4C after a few days of use.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendellrt Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I'm going to really monitor my temps this time and see. I am using Ceramique, but it is supposed to do the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccokeman Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I have noticed drops of roughly the same amount. It does take a few heat and cool cycles as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my computer has never been off since I built it... So I dunnue if it really takes a "few heat and cool cycles as well." Maybe it did with you, but I can't say the same as my computer has never been off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendellrt Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I have noticed drops of roughly the same amount. It does take a few heat and cool cycles as well. I know the the instructions for AS5 say that it needs about 200 thermal hours and thermal cycles. I assume it is so that the metal particles can settle. Ceramique takes less time and doesn't seem to mention more than 25 thermal hours or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kendellrt Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Ok, Arty Smarty Pants! I simply added that there must be thermal cycles with AS5 also, and I didn't know if Ceramique did. Oh, and a few days is less than 300 hours! Does anyone else use a special thermal compound aside from the cheap stuff or AS products?

suchuwato Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Yeah, it does settle a bit. (as as been said earlier) I don't think it really warrants burning-in time though as some people think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
