    P4 Northwood users.. please help.

    I cannot decide whether to stick with the retail layer of black good that came with the retail Intel heatsink, or to use Artic Silver 2. I have AS 2.. will it dramatically effect the heat transfer?

    Thanks in advance.

    Well the p4 1.6a overclocks very well with stock cooling, however if I were you I would put on the AS2. It can't hurt only help unless you apply the coat to thick and so fourth. So why not apply it. If you dont want the hassle then check your temps if there a bit to high put on some as2.


    Your temps could go down anywhere from 1c to 5c. It all depends.

    My vote goes to the AS2.

    I'm still saving up to build a new rig... While everyone else has already joined the darkside.
