Mad scientist Nevin over at Arctic Silver is always working on something better....In the meantime SVC has the best prices on his products...FREE shipping is always good.....right? :p

Found a review for Arctic Silver 3

I knew Nevin was holdin out on me:p

Oh that Artic Silver 3 looks like it is definately going to be worth my $10. What do ya'll think?

[rivercom9]

Hmm, looking at those results, I cant wait for the release of AS3. Cant wait to try it out myself.

Whoa! I never knew Fry's Electronics carried Arctic Silver. I recently went into Fry's the other day, (About a mile from my house) and found that they were also selling Swifty MCX-462 with the 68 cfm Deltas for only $59. Cheaper than I have seen anywhere else.

Man, a 5C drop under load from AS3 to Alumina. Thats gonna make me sweat off killing my tbird and reapply some of this stuff to it. :D I can't wait to see more reviews, to make sure this stuff is this good :eek:

[Maximus Nickus]

So is AS3 out yet?

[Dissolved]

i just bought a alumna heh. now ac3 is comming out..
well maybe ill do a alumna epoxy/ac3 mix :)

[rivercom9]

Whats a good mix of Alumina Epoxy and AS mix? 50/50? I need to hold a chipset cooler in place, but I dont want to use cheap stuff that wont help heat transfer.

Review looks good... really good I'm going to definitely get this upon my next rig since overclocking is not an issue now since I have a bad computer.

Rivercom,

What type of chipset cooler are you using, Even Full strength Arctic Alumina Epoxy can be removed using the freezer trick.
(same goes for Arctic Silver adhesive)

If its a heavy hsf full strength or cut it with 33% Alumina thermal paste to a 67% Alumina adhesive


If its a blue orb a 50-50 mix will do well.

But the Crystal orb is fairly heavy and a 33% mix of Alumina to 67% Alumina adhesive would be best.

I'm wondering if the weight of a WBK38 or Thermoengine would damage my 8500 if I put it on......
