TIM for use on GPU

[Anonymous_0172]

Hi, quick question: Is it ok to use either AS5 or XSPC K2 TIM on a GPU die? I think I read somewhere that it is not advisable to use AS5, but I only have these 2 compounds + liquid pro and don't really want to buy any more.

I don't see why it wouldn't be ok so long as I'm careful not to make a mess

Thanks

You need what I believe is called a non-conductive Tim e.g MX2,3,4 rather than Arctic; although if your careful Arctic should, hopefully, not be a problem

Sorry do not know wether XSPC K2 is or not

High performance thermal compound for CPU and GPU water blocks.

That's from the K2 blurb so it should be safe. if it blows your card OCuk have to answer lol
