I wasn't paying attention and left my r404a mach 1 on with as3, and it was sitting at -50c for about 8 hours. I was removing the head anyway, and I found my as5 seemed fine. My cpu may never have gotten that cold, but the unit was on for quite a while.

only thing i dont really like about the test is that there was only 1 mount and since all the paste get to 1°C away from each other, it might well be due to mounting. Tho I understand it might have been time consuming to make more than one mount :T

ocz ultra is now the same as as5, but I don't know if it was when that article was written.
Like Prandtl said only 1 mount is kind of stupid. 1c difference could easily be made in the mount, but for all those tim's it would be one hell of a pain to do several mounts...but atleast 2 would be much better.

The ocz ultra was recalled, and replaced by that, which is as5. It is as5 made by arctic silver, and I believe it is at a slight discount.

I am pretty sure Chilly1 and pcIce use as5, and they have been down below -100c for long periods of time without any problems, so I realy don't see it being an issue. Chilly1 is trying to hit -150c with a 4 stage cascade, and then he is going to try for -200c, so we will see what happens to his TIM at those temps.
