I read this on the Arctic Silver site:
Note:
Arctic Silver 5 is much thicker than our earlier silver compounds and it is very difficult to rub it into the base of the heatsink. With it's superior flow characteristics, the tinting steps can be skipped when using Arctic Silver 5.
I was thinking that I should do the "tinting" using my tube of AS3 and then apply AS5 normally. Would that be a bad idea? I don't know if there's any problems with mixing the two (even though there would be almost no AS3 left really)...
