which thermal paste?

[stifler]

hi,

just recieved a Xigmatek red scorpion cooler this morning and would like to know which paste i should use,

1, the "heat sink silicone compound" made by "sil more" that came with it.


or

2, some AS5 which i've had for around 18 months, will it still be any good?

cheers.

cheers, AS5 it is then, btw this cooler is bigger than i thought, dwarfs my AF64

cheers guys,

think i'll try my AS5 first and see what temps it gives.

not fitted it yet though(not had the time), still using my freezer 64 with AS5 which i built last xmas.

according to CPUID hardware monitor my idle temp now is 16c and the fan speed is reporting 305rpm, so i'm expecting the xigmatek to peform better and be quieter.
