I've got the Venomous arriving tomorrow, was just going to use the MX2 paste that I have...

I have the silver 5 and the MX2 paste. just wondering if that other paste was any better.

Assuming you have an Intel rig, the AS5 will benefit -greatly- from the pressure-bracket that comes with the VenomousX. When properly applied the AS5 is exceptional at what it does but often suffers due to its thickness when using more flimsy/non-pressure mountings.

That being said, both pastes are top-tier so either will serve you well.

Yeah intel i7.
So for this cooler, the silver 5 would be better then the MX2 ?

The site says do a line. i've always done it this way. would you say this is better then the spread way ?

Thanks for that. so you still think AS5 would be better then mx2.
the as3 in the vid didn't spread so well.

It's down to personal preference really. I use MX-2 now as there's no curing time needed and it's not electrically conductive either.

do you use the line also ?

Yeah I myself gave it a try after I had run out of MX-3 and found that it was very good. I've got so many different tubes though so I might do a round-up at some point. Tuniq have their new TX-4 and Thermalright also has the Chill factor III now.

Yeah a round up will be great

soon

lol

I'll try the stuff that comes with cooler first using the pea size way.

Hmm, are these not like the small white 3 pin connector but 4 pin :eek:

Bet these are the big clear 4 pin ones you have to attach to the powerpack.?

If so, then billy balls

My Viper Fans come. and they look really nice in person.

if you like that kind of colour

i think they look really nine on my Venomous X.

How do you adjust the fan speed on these ?
