Using the GC Extreme myself, Suprisingly, Before I was using AS5, and i dropped my temps by 16c with GC extreme.
No curing time, Non-corrosive, Non-conductive, Non-capacitive, easy to spread.
I JUST made a post in another thread unrelated to thermal compounds.
Ambient temps for both tests were 16.5-16.9(fluctuated due to drafts in room.)
Temps at max load with AS5: 67c(with stock cooler mind you.)
Temps at max with GC-Extreme: 51c.(again, stock cooler.)
I'm not sure if i didn't apply it correctly, or if some other variable(air bubbles?) was present, but I'm happily 16c colder with the new TiM.
With the lack of a need for cure time, no need to worry about the capacitive factor, as well as non-conductive, for only a .25c warmer cpu(according to the graph posted above), I can't complain.
