The Great, What Thermal Paste Do You Use Poll

Silversinksam · Jun 13, 2004

" I thought it might be interesting to do a poll on what thermal interface material (TIM) members are using.

Please choose one you use primarily, and perhaps post any others you use less frequently

Thank you!

I see no poll!

Diggrr · Jun 13, 2004

Me either, But I use GC Electronics Type 44.
Great stuff, never dries, never conducts, and is easy to remove as it's not silicone based. It also works great for those experiencing problems using ASx on sub-zero applications.

You should try it Sam, I hear it's pretty tasty too

Well if theres's no poll how is it two people voted? :bang head

PS I tried hard to include as many as I could, when you make a Poll it only lets you have ten choices

there is a poll, I voted for Artic Silver Ceramique, great stuff. good poll idea also, quick for newbies to look at and see which thermal paste is good (a large crowd of overclockers cant go wrong

)

AS5 here, might grab some Cermique tough cause it looks niffty too.

hey u forgot to put vegemite and toothpaste!!

squeakygeek · Jun 13, 2004

I will be using AS5 on my cpu and gpu, but arctic alumina on things like memory, nb, ect, where the TIM could get on the traces.

Ceramique for me, works great !

squeakygeek · Jun 13, 2004

Have any of you actually eaten vegemite? yuck

AS3. I have a tube that I've been using for a year or so now. I won't upgrade until I run out.

I use AS5 primarily but also AS3.

Rahab · Jun 14, 2004

Rigth now i´m using "delta"

Phextwin · Jun 14, 2004

Got me 14 grams of Arctic alumina. Ill be using that for a while methinks.

Valk · Jun 14, 2004

Ceramique. I dont take my computer appart much anymore since its such a peice that cant overclock, and its nice to have that long term, stable and consistant thermalpaste on there. AS3 and 5 is wonderful for the weekend overclocking tests, but for longer term, actully doing work.. i wouldnt trust it.

FizzledFiend · Jun 14, 2004

Ceramique I make my own waterblocks so i have to swap out alot i find this product "sets up" a bit faster

navicaph · Jun 15, 2004

Using AS5, but I really see no difference between that and AS3.

slater3333uk · Jun 15, 2004

Mostly AS3 so thats what i voted for

I ordered a tube of Ceramique but they goofed and sent me AS5 insted so ive used that aswell. No real perefrance, Performance is the same, AS3 is easy to spread and AS5 is impossible but i hear that your not spose to spread AS5 anyway, just use a 'rice grain' blob
