WOW mx-3

[breadturbo]

always like AS5 but just given this a go and 4c off my idle, 6c load and i only put it on 10mins ago!

although the stuff is like putty from hell, still not got it off my finger after making the error of touching it.
Normally i spread AS5 about the top of the IHS, but this stuff just comes off in one big lump and attaches itself to your hand o.O

like 'the blob'

How does it compare with chill factor 2?

I used mx3 on my recent i7 build, system is currently at stock, temps at 28-22-28-23, on my previous q9550 i used as5 idles on it were about 3-4c higher, same with chill factor 2 on the one occassion i used it. Not a great comparison ill admit.
