Thermal Pastes

@EarlZ: Nice! :mrgreen: any comments?

Better than AS5 in anyway possible, No curing time is a huge plus and -2c on both load and idle temps.. considering i placed a small dab ( rice size ) in the middle of the GPU and let the pressure spread it evenly..

Altho its quite hard to control how much comes out of the syringe ( as compared to AS5 ) you have to push it very slowly/softly or use small taps

AS5 vs. toothpaste vs. mustard vs. ketchup vs. Turnip rape oil

" I did some fast testing today. I have heard myths about someone who had to use toothpaste instead of aftermarket thermal compound, and he claimed toothpaste works better. I wanted to test this and go a bit beyond.

Testing rig in the sig, except that CPU was lapped and running completely @ stock with lapped stock HSF.
Temperatures were measured with the S&M CPU Stresstesting tool, which can be found from here. Testing was made with S&M aswell. Ran L1 cache, L2 cache, CPU Integer and CPU FPU tests, all with 100% CPU load and "short". I took the maximum temperature from the run as measurement. Ambient was around +22C.

All feedback is more than welcome. I am eager to test some more stuff between the CPU and the heatsink. Any ideas?

I have to mention that ketchup/mustard/toothpaste can't be used 24/7, as it already dried out in 10 minutes of running. It was real pain in the ass to clean it up. "

mga bai ga limpyo ko sko heatsink gnina ky grabe njud ka abog...nya nalimot ko wa mn diay ko thermal paste, ako gigamit rn toothpaste... palit daun ko ani ugma, aw, unya, ug thermal paste ky ika-2 na nko ilisi ug toothpaste ky dali ra kau maluto! wa lng...ok rman na no?! strawberry pa rba ang flavor... btw, pentium D ko CPU...

bro messy kau ang ketchup mngud... anyways napulihan na nko ug thermal grease from cdr-king... went from 46C (colgate) to 36C (thermal grease) in speedfan...
