Intel's Stock Thermal Pad vs Paste

[FDTzeng]

Im not about to get a new HSF for my 2.4C but I DO have some thermal paste handy. I'm assuming that anything is better than Intel's stock pad thingy but Im just checking up here.



Intel P4 2.4C @ ???, ABIT IS7, Stock Intel HSF, 2x Kingston HyperX PC3000 256MB, Radeon 9700Pro

Use Arctic Silver 3, those things aren't that expensive to buy, I just bought like 5 tubes of them.

I hate Computers! I could only overclock my Barton 2500+ to 2645mhz. My Sapphire 9800pro core/mem speed won't go above 475/750. I really hate computers!

Arctic Silver 3 is the best of the best.

what are you gonna do with 5 tubes of as3...by the time you use 2 they have a new paste out...

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...

Intel's stock pads are very efficient and required for warranty. ASIII is only a little better, some pastes are equal.

Yeah... why so much? I'm still using my first tube of AS2 I bought about 1.5 year ago.

But as soon as I get the Ceramique stuff in I'm going to use that for CPUs.

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

Well I bought 5 because the retail store where I get it from if you buy more than 500 dollars they give u something for free under 50 dollars, so I just took 5 arctic silver 3, who knows when I might need them.
