what tests were done and how thorough and did they allow the paste to settle for a certain period of time whilst in use? I would have expected arctic silver to be the best considering the price we have to pay for it.

I didnt do the tests myself only posted the info on OcUK, unfortunatly i cant lnk to the origional forums as its got a competitor shop attached to it

I can safely say that the Micro-Si that I am using is better than both the AS5 and ceramique I have used previously by a degree or so.

**Edit** Found my mini test from another forum.

Same place i got the above list from Dosen't it origionate from XS or something? (or a place i can link to )

So did I and most probally everyone on these forums
