Looking for the best I can get right now. I have an old Arctic Silver 5 but I swear I think it's getting darker over age and I think... that's probably not good. My guess is this stuff ages. I bought a 12 gram back then, so I guess I should order less.
Anyway, regardless of price, what's the best thermal compound that's removable? I'm using an Origin PC (Clevo 17" Chassis, quite accessible for a laptop really) and I'm pretty sure it has copper heatsinks because it's got that gold color to it (Foxconn labels too).
My processor is i7 Extreme 2920XM overclocked, and my GPU is an NVIDIA 580m
Any ideas? I hear AS5 is kinda on it's way out, hence why I wanted to post this first
I've gotten the hang of applying AS5, so I figure I'd not mind a slightly bigger challenge now, but I'm not gonna claim to be a pro...
Oh! And what pastes are best for that erm... sticky pad stuff? I mean what motherboards usually have on them that come in those pink, white, and blue colors. I think I need to replace that as well - I haven't done so since I got the computer and they now got cat hair on them ~_~... I have a cat and it's been quite terrible on my computer's insides, honestly. It's why I have to open my computer to clear crap out so often - it just collects in there ever 3 months or so. I'm moving soon though, and my room will be more off-limits there.
Thanks!
