hi ppl, i was wondering if someone can tell me if antec formula 5 silver thermal compound is as goos as arctic 5 silver... the old factory applied compound needed replacing after drying up and since i have put antec on, the temps are about 5-8*C higher than before according to speedfan... (i do know the readings are a bit off, but there still must be a rise in heat production for it to be displaying a higher temp to what it was)
i removed the old compound with isopropyl alcohol (being careful not to get any on the contacts) then spread a small amount of antec around my cpu, then put the tinyest amount of antec onto a clean bag and rubbed in circular motions on the HS to eliminate air particles inbetween the contact surface. then a thin layer on the cpu and then started the system to find the temps up
have i missed anything? any1 know what might be causing this?
nice 1 for your help
