My Dell m1530 laptop has a pretty crummy heatsink that simply doesnt sit flush with the CPU no matter what. So, the proper application of a tissue thin layer is not possible. What I get is mismatching core temperatures at high temps simply because there is no contact on half the chip. We are talking like 8-10C, which isnt so bad but its completely unnecessary. Literally, when I do a contact test only half the chip makes contact. I need to put on a thicker layer than what would normally be needed and I wanted to know if Arctic Silver is still the winner in such a case? I wont be all sloppy about it, so the inert property of ceramique isnt so important for me.
Which paste performs better as application gets thicker?
