I happen to know that i am getting a Zalman CNPS-9500 for my A64 for christmas. Now, i dont know if i am getting the AS5 that i asked for, so, is it alright if i just use, in case i dont get the AS5, the thermal stuff that comes with the Zalman? is it any good? or should i wait to put it on and get some AS5 with my christmas money (which will be hard to do). Any advice appreciated.
 
its what im currently using. its not bad, i guess. i think it is working. but idk. you can use it temporarily for sure, ive been using it for about a week and my cpu hasnt died yet.

i hear you get about 3-5 less degrees with as5.
 
That stuff is fine, the difference between stock and AS5 is only a few degrees C as the most.

ok i wasnt sure about the 9500, but if i dont get any then ill just slap it on, not that i would be able to help myself anyways.
 
yeah, just remember to do a good job applying it. i actually just reapplied my thermal grease (the first time i applied it without reading some good instuctions from the internet). my temps have dropped another 3-4 degrees at idle.
