need opinions about this thermal compound

[EarlZ]

---

unsay basis nako? i've been working on nearly 2000 PCs/workststations everyday for almost 3years now. And i havent heard of any of our computers that goes down or get damaged because of the thermal paste/compound or whatever u called it. Actually we just use cheap thermal paste brought at Fastwin and we dont have problems on it. This is my basis. and id like to hear yours.

Working with 1 or 50,000 computers doesnt qualify you to conclude that they are all the same. I've been a computer enthusiast for over 12 years, Computers do get damaged if by accident you spilled the TIM on some trace points or IC during application and failed to clean it properly. TIM's today like TX2,MX2 and Artic Ceramique are non conductive as compared to your generic/silver based TIM and they also provide better heat transfer and basically 5+ years before replacement.

A simple google would how you how these highend TIMs out perform generic ones as much as 10c ( heatsink dependent also ), overclockers or not will benefit from a cooler hardware..

But there are some generic silicon TIMs that are good but not half as good as the ones compared to MX2,TX2 & Ceramique.

I would recommend the Tuniq TX2 beats As5 and Mx2 also Should be available around mid march

Tuniq's TX2 and Artic Cooling's MX2 is the exact same stuff under a different package label, AC is the OEM though.

Earlz, I have to disagree on this. They are not the same, AC doesnt OEM Tuniqs TX2. Ive also double checked with Tuniq just to make sure. Because most reviews state similar but different consistency. Anyway both are good, but Tx2 just has the upper hand as the review says

heres a review comparing both:

dako ba gyud ug difference ang temps in using different brand / quality thermal compounds?

maybe 1-3 degrees difference?

thermal paste is a square like na para sa video card ram..

hmmm.. thermal compound i guess has 2 types.

Ceramic Compound and Silver compound

word of advice..

TAKE CARE IN APPLYING THEM [ if u buy a silver compound ]

why.. if u spill even a small amount on ur mobo. it will cause ur mobo to short circuit....

but if ur using a ceramic compound.. it will not short circuit but ceramic compound is a poor heat conductor.

i guess ceramic compound are usually use in vcards and metal compound are for proccesor.
