Which TIM should I get?

dacquesta1 · Apr 27, 2014

Hi, I have a corsair H100i and I'm stuck between Shin-Etsu X23-7783D and Gelid GC-3 Extreme. Which should I go with? Cost isn't a factor nor is application ease, I just want the best performing of the two.

so you guys would go with the mx-4 over the gelid gc-extreme?

Dark Lord of Tech · Apr 27, 2014

I would , it's the best I've ever used.

Give it a TRY you won't be disappointed.

sr-71 i have a question regarding overclocking the fx8320/50. Is it worth bumping up the fsb to say 220-240 and lowering the multiplier and if so do i have to raise the motherboard nb voltage or the cpu/nb voltage for the fsb bump?

ended up driving to newegg today and put the mx-4 on...much better than the AS5 that was on there, my load temps dropped about 4c. thanks again
