I replaced my AS3 with Ceramique and wow.Droped 3c and it's only been on for 4 hours ,after the break-in it could drop another 1c.

I just recently switched too, and wow, I lost 4c - 5c at full load running 2 SETI clients with HT. I went from 57c to about 50c - 52c full load

My watercooler is pretty low flow, and when I first had it together i was getting 52c load. It has slowly dropped day by day down to 42c load.

i don't think there's a break in period for ceramique...

my temps dropped about 2C from as3 to ceramique

how did you all apply the cerimque?

Using the conventional way of spreading it evenly or the new way of putting a drop in the middle of the cpu.

I applied it to my CPU using the conventional and want to see if anyone has noticed a difference when applying it the new way.

I went by the website----------> http://www.arcticsilver.com/ceramique_instructions.htm

I used the conventional way. My waterblock doesn't "twist."

I think there is a breakin period, my load temps are now a very cool 36/37C average (watercooled P4 3.06 @ 3.46, Radeon 9700 Pro in series also w/c) whereas initially they were around 39 load.

As for application I used the regular method, applied a few dabs around the chip then spread it/thinned it around using credit card (well an old phone card hehe) also did a slight twisting of the waterblock before I secured it

So far Ceramique rocks!
