Thermal Paste

[NateKingCole]

I only have access to Arctic Silver Ceramique or OCZ Ultra II thermal paste. Are either of these any good or should I stick with the stock stuff with my AMD 2500+?

they are both better than whats on your cpu...i have not heard much about ceramique but i have heard that the ocz grease is good stuff with the same performance as artic silver 3...

3 386DX-25's...12 volts...glue some ln2 and a wicked amount of overclocking and you get a willamantee minus 36 pins, 33.75 million transistors and a couple hundred mhz...

As it looks the new Arctic Silver Ceramique even performs better then AS 3... I got a tube of it comming my way.

I love my Delta 60HP 7000 RPM fan that puts out more dB then CFM

Hmmm. They both look good. OCZ is cheaper and this review says its better. Need more research

The AS stuff is the best at the moment, or at least on par with anything else out there. Its about 1 - 2C better than AS3.

Anybody else, I'm thinking AS at the moment. Oh and I have to apply it to 3 cpu's how many tubes do I need?

If you apply it good you can use it on more then 20 CPUs without problems.

I'm still using my first tube and I lost counting of CPUs and other things I've put it on.
