And if I may ask, what if we relax the $10 limit and set it up to say $15?as5 or mx-4 are fine and under $10 last i checked. what heatsink you using? lots come with decent paste.
Be serious. There is always going to be a limit. $20 of extra cooler will make a far bigger difference.Yeah, why such an arbitrary Max? Is $20 too much to ensure your $700 processor doesn't overheat?
idk, ask the op.And if I may ask, what if we relax the $10 limit and set it up to say $15?
I think i did.idk, ask the op.
sure there are more expensive, but they usually are needed unless chasing that last couple degrees, as bigd said.
did i reply to you?I think i did.
If the 6500 is worth $700, man I am going to be rich after I get done upgrading office pc’sYeah, why such an arbitrary Max? Is $20 too much to ensure your $700 processor doesn't overheat?
Call me old school. I rock out with arctic silver 5. Have used it literally a decade or more. Never had any issues and its very cheap.
Honestly unless you have a huge still left off no one should be using AS5 anymore. Most newer pastes are generally better and not conductive.*Throws his name in the hat*
Arctic Silver 5.
=)
AS5 has never been conductive. I was using AS5 up until a couple of years ago, I mostly used that stuff over the course of a decade. I would still be using it but I ran out. Right now I am using TF8, its better.Honestly unless you have a huge still left off no one should be using AS5 anymore. Most newer pastes are generally better and not conductive.
Hmm I swear it was conductive.AS5 has never been conductive. I was using AS5 up until a couple of years ago, I mostly used that stuff over the course of a decade. I would still be using it but I ran out. Right now I am using TF8, its better.
Nope, just a little capacitive. So don't spew everywhere and you should be good. Meaning don't build bridges..Hmm I swear it was conductive.
As I am behind the times on thermal paste, what does TG stand for?Nope, just a little capacitive. So don't spew everywhere and you should be good. Meaning don't build bridges..
I've tried AS5, Ceramique, NTH1, ICD7, CFIII, and TF8. Out of those TF8 is what I replaced AS5 with.. works good.
I see TG reformulated their formula, TF8 used to be slightly better on paper, TG one upped them
I might try it next..
thermal grizzly. they make kryonaut, conductonaut, etcAs I am behind the times on thermal paste, what does TG stand for?
Thank you,
Mate, that would fall under thermal "pad" category. OP is looking for input on "paste"
Also depends on the cheese. You can get paste cheeses such as Cheeze Wiz and such which are in past form.Depends on how hot you get it.
You should be doing a thermal paste review of different taco sauces.Oohhhh!! Clever
