Another qucik question

Sorry about all the thread just in the process ordering a new pc.

Is OCZ Freeze a good paste? Read some reviews they seem to have some promising points?

Thanks

Arctic Silver 5 is what you want to use and definately worth it.

icey_haj · 31 Jan 2009 at 21:11

Yeh I think it is, but most people go with Arctic Silver 5 or Arctic Ceramique

Cob · 31 Jan 2009 at 21:11

MX-2 is better than AS5.

But yeah the OCZ Freeze is meant to be very good, tho I've personally never used it.

ConTRo13R · 31 Jan 2009 at 21:14

defenatly go for the mx2, especially if your going to be using it on the chipsets

Its better for temps and also a lot easier to spread

lynchy6789 · 31 Jan 2009 at 21:18

Ordered some about 5mins ago. Been on a few review sites and it came out with almost same temps as MX-2 but was a lot better then AS5.

I think i will give it a whirl? Or should i cancel and go for the MX-2 will be with a tuniq tower

AS5 didn't work for me...

I would stick with the Freeze.

Tuniq are meant to make a very good paste too, tho I'm not sure if that's what they include with their coolers.

I canceled the order going to get some MX-2. Need to make sure i was refunded the money on my card now.

1. £2 cheaper
2. I can buy it from OcUk
3. Its rated better

Do they include paste with the cooler?

Kennysevenfold · 31 Jan 2009 at 21:29

AS5 *** personally.....

Cob · 31 Jan 2009 at 21:30

Not sure about the Tuniq, but you usually get atleast a little single-use sachet or tube of paste with coolers.

lynchy6789 · 31 Jan 2009 at 22:05

Have to try and find out if it does becasue that would save me some money.

Glad i canceled order as in 6 days time i get free P&P so MX-2 paste be almost £3 cheaper.

Its really annoying about the 4870's as Offer finshes Tuesday i get free P&P Friday you think OcUk might be able to knock it off for me

Geckovich · 31 Jan 2009 at 22:09

How do you get free P&P? I hate to admit it but postage costs have ruled out OcUK for being the better value the last two times I've ordered components

lynchy6789 · 31 Jan 2009 at 22:12

There you go matey:

I used to used AS5, but I ran out and picked up some MX2 in a hurry.
Personally I can't tell the difference, they are both as good as each other in my systems.

I did get some Akasa AK-TC 5022 and it was pants. It was too thick and stodgy to spread evenly even with the supplied spreader - it was more a putty like material. V V Bad.
