I also have not seen anything that directly compares AS5 to Ceramique, only compared to AS3. I still like Ceramique and will use it til I learn otherwise :)
 
yah...thats wat i thot, hoot put that he got a 3c gain over as3 and ceramique is better than as3 by about 2c or 1c's so..i was just guessing that it would be about 1 or 2....not that great but hey, when ur ocing u need to squeeze every possible mhz u can get...

btw does neone know if lapping ur hs again would get rid of the remiaing traces of the ceramique? i was thinking of cleainng the hsf bottom with some nail polsih remover then some isopropyl alcohol then going over it a few times with some 1500 grit...this should prolly get rid of all the ceramique traces

and does neone know if thermal compound stays on the cpu die itself? or would giving it a thorough cleaning do the job?

I saw no difference after I lapped my hs and applied the AS5 (in place of AS3). It's set for 2 days now... no difference.

My cpu temps are still idling around 43-44c and at full load around 50-52c.

i hear its easier to apply than ceramique but not really worth it if you have a tube of AS3 or ceramique to use still...

Yea, I bought it because I didn't have any AS3 or Ceramique. If you have either, it's not great enough to warrant rushing out to buy a tube. :-/
 
My experiences with comparing Nanotherm to AS have been pretty good. NT does a better job, from my tests. I used to be a huge AS fan, but I've switched.
 
*sigh* i got a tube of as5 but i guess ill just help my friends and apply it on their hsfs and not on mine...dont wanna waste the good 4 bux i payed for the ceramique

Well As5 could only bethe same or better than ceramique so give your friends the ceramique....or give me your as5.

Hey SSS is there any electrical conductivity problems with as5 as compaired with as3. (Yes I know that as3 when used properly is just fine but we know it still can short things out on a messy install) Does as5 fix that or is it still as conductive as as3?
 
HAS ANYBODY tried AS5 over ceramique? im DYING to know whether or not the performance gains or good or not...like tell me what temp diffs that u got, i seriously need this
