Will I see any difference in temps between Ceramique & Silver?

Silver is almost double the cost! Will be used in a cpu & North Bridge watercooling loop.

Thanks

Also in cooling but need a quick answer so i can get it ordered and recieve before xmas!
 
Silver will give better temps on most setups.

Certainly worth it, a tube is good for 10+ applications normally, more likely to lose it than run out.
 
Thanks, ordered!

I have used artic silver in the past, like you say lost it though! Will make sure this time i store it safe!

Forgot to order it along with the UV lights & fans i ordered yesterday, which in true overclockers style arrived today :D
 
I've got a tiny tube of AS5, good stuff, had it a couple of years now :)

Actually, haven't needed to use it in a while, will it still be ok to use? does it harden up or something over time?

I've read that ingredients of compound can separate according to density if compound is kept for years in same position.
But in any case some "turning over and shaking" before applying compound can't at least hurt.


But AS hasn't been any special for many years... must be that word silver which drops brains to hibernation mode just like "full HD".

(AS doesn't seem to like small heat conduction surface... have seen such phenomenon few times in past years)
