Freezer 64 pro

Scrawflid · 31 Jan 2006 at 15:28

Another noob I'm afraid. What's the best thing to do with the Freezer 64Pro, use the HS compound already applied or scrub it and go with A/S silver? The stuff that's already on doesn't look up to much, but hey, what do I know...

Keep it, its as good as Arctic silver 5.

personally i got rid of it and put some as5 on instead. its probably not a massive difference, the 64 pro is an excellent cooler anyway.

I tried it with the standard TIM and AS5, not a huge amount of difference tbh, in fact I haven't really noticed any difference

Then its more than likely that you have not got the greatest HSF seating then.AS5 with my freezer64 dropped temps by 6-10 degrees on my last CPU.

You won't see much difference at all between the MX-1 paste and AS5. The temp difference you saw won't be due to changing the TIM, it'll be the change of CPU that made the difference.

Was talking about my 3800venice, i had run out of AS5 when i got my freezer64 so used the white gloop.When i got some more AS5 i got the temp drop.

the pro doesnt have "white gloop" it comes with MX-1 paste pre applied which has been shown to match or better AS5

SkeeterUK · 31 Jan 2006 at 22:44

Yeah the freezer 64 pro has mx-1 which is silver looking compund pre applied on. Definately not white. You sure its a arctic freezer 64 pro you bought?

You do realise I was talking about the TIM on the Freezer64 and AS5 not between the standard HSF and the Freezer

very good cooler, running pcmark05 last night and it peaked once at 46 degress but normally 44 under hard load

SkeeterUK · 1 Feb 2006 at 10:32

My 3500+ is 30c idle and 35 loaded, 40 under heavy load for when its stressed in prime95.

I concur. Built a new system at the weekend, and couldn't find my AS5. Reluctantly, I left the TIM on the arctic freezer and fitted it. The SD3700 is overclocked to 2.8 and is at 33-35C running pime95. :cool:

I can't see AS5 beating that.
