Turns out that AS3 isn't the best stuff. The Shin Etsu G-751 Thermal Compound runs at least 1 degree cooler than anything else. Looks like it's time to get some new thermal grease.
BTW: Sorry if somebody already posted this, but I didn't see it posted. Seemed odd as it was on the [H].
hmmm cool, might have to get some for my next proc
whoa! this shin etsu stuff rocks! wonder when they're gunna start distributing them to stores like Fry's Electronics...
and i'm running out of AS3 anyways! sweet, my next thermal compound :D
Looks awesome but don't sell the farm based on any single review ;)
oh, there's more:

And newegg carries it! Yey!

1 Gram? Not much, wouldn't you think?
Anyone know if this stuff is good for a P4?
One gram is enough for several applications on an AMD cpu and even a couple of P4 one's tooQuote:

the 6 dollar shipping is only if you get it by itself anways...my total shipping for all the parts I ordered was like $20 and I got all the hardware for my comp except case/screen which would cost a little too much to ship in my opinion.
For an average geek, yes. But for me, 3 grams is a bit too little to me. I slather grease over anything that has a removable heatsink, and I often yank it off my processor to clean it off every month or so (don't ask :rolleyes: ).Quote:

But it's only $10 altogether by itself after all...
Actually I must ask why? I know I don't need to tell you there's no legitmate reason. Seriously, like everything in life if you don't know why you're doing something...Quote:

Well, when you're forced to clean your heatsink every few weeks, you DO have to take it off :pQuote:

Since there's little to no space between the helicoids on my MCX, lots of gunk gets stuck between them. Temperatures do get affected by a few degrees from my experience.Quote:

What I mean by weeks is more like a month and a half. 6-7 weeks.
OK I guess I can see where you're coming from now. Compressed air doesn't do the trick eh?Quote:

i feel your pain ashpool....this darn alpha gets so gummed up with crap i'm aiways pullin' the sucker off to clean it
It works, but I always mess around with the can whenever I get it. I spray freezing cold liquid all over everything and I run out of gas the day I get it :pQuote:

It just feels better to actually TOUCH my stuff. It's like not hugging you're kids or, Uh... Something.
What's this I hear? Sounds like somebody needs a WC sysetem.
