Colgate LOL

You are so much the dad.

 

[FatRakoon]

It works.

 

[marscay]

most ppl would be amazed how a good application of toothpaste would work.

the trouble is getting it right.

 

[Raikiri]

It works.

Until it dries up, unfortunately... at least your computer will be minty fresh.

I used the free stuff that came with my Zalman 9700 tritium cooler. Looked a bit like silver nail varnish.

 

[Van Diemen]

Shin-Etsu or MX2

 

[SBD]

MX2!

 

[psychas]

is there noctura paste in ocuk as in noctura site they say ocuk should have them

 

[IAmATeaf]

MX2 is supposed to slightly better then AS5 but it's a bitch to spread as it's fairly thick if you prefer to use the spreading method

MX2 is thiner than AS5.
I think you meant MX1 & yes that was like pastry mix.

 

[C4EVA]

Shin-Etsu is good if you can get it but a proper biatch to spread.

 

[Gashman]

using arctic ceramique here, noticed only the smallest difference in temperatures compaired to when i used AS5, plus its not conductive

 

[psychas]

would like to try noctura see if its that good but its hard to find one

 

[Hesky82]

I dont know why but Ive tried a good few tim's such as shin-etsu microsi's, ac mx's, coollabs liquid pro and I keep going back to my trust tube of as5.

for me the zalman termal grease works great

one application one year ago and the temps are still great (25/27ºC ,but the room temp is around 19/20ºC)

As5 plus kit for me and have some of that Zalman stuff to try when I've finished my tube. I know someone who uses that copper thermal grease that you used on your brake back plates and swears by it.

 

[krooton]

NOCTUA!!! There is no 'R'

/rant

My vote for the lovely MX2 keeping my cpu and 8800gt nice n cool.

What? copper slip grease???

 

[hernaldo]

It works.

It doesn't work I've tried it a long time ago, it dries out in a couple of minutes and your temps will be in the sky in no time.

Even without overclocking, at least on an Athlon xp 2500+ mobile...couple years ago gave it a shot because everyone was ranting about it...turns out to be a load of tosh and the rumour kept on spreading.
