No offense intended, but why do people still use AS-5 these days
If you aren't competitively benching, AS5 is perfectly fine for an office productivity / gaming system like mine.
I'm flattered that you feel I'm such a font of knowledge you believe I can answer why all other human beings on planet Earth who "do" purchase AS5 actually do so. It brings a tear to my eye to know you have such faith in me. It truly does.
I'm afraid, however, I really haven't had time to generate the questionnaires, buy the mailing lists necessary to contact them, send them questionnaires to complete and, finally, compiled, sort, and rank the results from those who responded; all in order to arrive at the top 3 or 4 reasons they purchased AS5. Or would you prefer fewer or more reasons? Maybe a Top 10 list? Or, alternatively, are you implying that it's "out of fashion" to use it because, "it's like,
sooo 5 minutes ago, dude! Get with the 21st century already."?
Don't get me wrong...I'm not in the least bit offended. Truly, I'm not.
I'm simply pointing out to you how poorly-worded your question was. Here's a tip: If you have to precede your question with the phrase, "No offense intended," you're using the wrong wording to ask that question.
A more neutral wording, such as, "With all the other choices available for Heatsink Compound, why did you choose AS5?" or "Why AS5?" That's short. To the point. And neutral in tone.
