after a bunch of tests i've come to the conclusion that toothpaste (crest ultra whitening, the white thin stuff that doesn't have chunks or colored stripes in it) DOES indeed perform better than the generic "goop" that came with my coolermaster aero 7...
this is a sad day indeed and i'm not kidding about this...
at an ambient of 20 celcius and with the coolermaster aero 7 (fan at max) and a t-bird 1ghz oc'ed to 1.33ghz (i was afraid it was gonna catch fire or something, so didn't use my barton) and the abit NF7-S 2.0 apparently the generic goop made 47 celcius idle and 56 load while the toothpaste made about 45 idle and 55 load...
this is REALLY sad... i'm not kidding at all, cause the generic paste is just garbage....
for comparison, arctic silver ceramique made a 43 idle and about 50 load (it couldn't decide if it wanted to be 50 or 51) ...
all results were the best out of three mounts each for each paste and after every trial the base was cleaned off and relapped with 600 grit sandpaper.. and the artic silver was tried on first as the control.... temps were all taken from the board bios, v1.8...
this is DEFINITELY NOT COOL...
