Shin-Etsu Thermal Paste ?

[azehof]

I came across this on ChillBlast (http://www.chillblast.com); Shin-Etsu Thermal Paste (https://www.chillblast.com/productsdetail.asp?PGID=7&PGSID=213). Says something about being the best thermal paste around, any thoughts on that? And is this review here bull? (Review (http://www.meetthegeeks.org/ourreview/2002/shinetsu/))

My mistake.
Could you please elaborate on the outcome of changes?
Or at least point me to the direction where i can find some further information.
I consider the Joe's article to be an informative read that at least outlines the expectations for grease performance.

i've personally seen better results using the Shin-Etsu thermal PADS from Akasa, than AS3 on the same hsk's.

Shin-Etsu is great stuff, and i'd use it in a heartbeat.

Thermal Pads?, not Thermal Grease? Where can I obtain these pads?

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
I read both sources but still am not convinced.
The latest post in the above forums indicates no difference between greases.
The 'testing' procedure described in the article does raise some questions about credebility. Using actual machine to test anything in cooling is not desired for resons perfectly well explained in the Bill Adams article on bench testing.
To point out just one reason I find it hard to believe that the amount of heat generated was exactly the same during each test run.
