These guys got better temps with 'The Chill Factor' Thermalright Thermal Compound than AS5.

Nice!

I use the Zalman stuff because I like the brush to brush the compound on.

It only lasts for 12 months though? I haven't changed my AS3 on my CPU since I put it on 3-4 years ago.

I use the white stuff that came with both my XP90 and V1. It's got the perfect consistancy, spreads perfectly, is free (duh), and works better than AS ceramique, in my experience. Given time to burn in.

Here's a fun (older) comparison where the dude compares the performance of some Arctic silvers, vegemite and toothpaste among other things.

Personally, I don't worry too much about thermal grease stuff. Half a degree or maybe two won't make much difference. I got five little syringes of ceramique a year ago when someplace had em cheap with free shipping. It seems to work well.

As5 Ftw :d :d

[JEDIYoda]

I have always said that when AS5 first came on the scene it was probably one of the best thermal compounds. Well as we speak AS5 is way over rated!!

[UltraMegaOK]

I have used as5 and only as5 but I keep reading that that brush makes all the difference in the world. Time to see what all the fuss is about. Besides Zalman is one of the few companies that has NEVER let me down.

[JEDIYoda]

I have always said that most of the thermal compounds that shop with high quaslity heatsinks such as Zalman...Thermalright...Tuniq....Scythe...etc etc
All are as good or better that AS5!

AS5 is way over rated!!
I have to agree with jonny I love the Zalman product!
