Thermal paste...

It cost about $8-10 in stores and on Internet about $2-6. Froogle Arctic Silver 5. No, i did not accidentally press F instead of G, Froogle is a beta from Google. Works great too.

Gee, thanks for the reality check.:rolleyes: But if you want to go technical then when if really really really bad is the computer caught on fire, and then really x4 bad is if you try to put out the electrical fire out with water, And extremely bad is if you get electrocuted. And really extremely bad is if the shock acts like a tazer and momentarily paralyzes you. And bad beyond imagination is... well, its beyond imagination so we'll stop it there.:D

You don't know to much about computers now do you.


Get as5, the stuff will run you about six bucks.
 
On Intels the processor will atomatiacally slow down really slow, and it won't bust without a heatsink.
 
HAY! Those were just scenarios to go along with the Bad, Really bad, really really bad thing. They don't seem likely, or even possible, but then who said they had to be? Just stating the outcome of a progressing bad situation.
 
there is a better thermal paste that Zalman came out wit. called Zalman's Super Thermal Grease. it runs at about 10-15 bucks. cools a couple degrees more than AS

How comes we never heard about it then? ... :/ I think there are other variables when using Thermal Grease/Paste anyway. The amount you put on varies all the time, you're never going to get the exact same amount again when you compare different pastes. Plus, the HSF's could be different too. The surface could be smoother than the other, etc... Also, AS5 has a "settle in" period, or whatever you want to call it, where you have to give it a couple of weeks for it to be working at its full potential.

:)

@ Cromewell: Thanks for the info! I'll just follow the pea idea, seems simple and easy! :D
 
the zalman thermal grease is a less dense and thinner compound. has to be applied by brush.


here are some reviews if u want to see how it performs.

when i bought my zalman hsf, there was a deal on sharkacomputers. so i recieved it for free without even knowin. haha. but yea i wasnt sure it was that good so i did some research and yea. there u have it. if u dont believe it, then i guess u gotta have some time to try it urself. i haveny built my next rig yet, so i cant say i've tested it personally.

i asked because alll the cpu's i've ever taking off, i never put thermal paste on..

worked perfect....

Yeah, but it's not very wise to do so. On a cheap, crappy CPU, I could understand. But if it's a decent X2 or Allendale/Conroe, I would have to reapply the thermal paste just to be safe.
 
ooo, yeahh, deffinately, and if i was doing some computer work on the side, having 2 do with the CPU, i would buy a bottle...
