i quite like the as5 atm for me. but hopefully in the near future there will be another release by arctic silver series which will be even better than the cool labs and as5 easy to clean.

Re: The Battle of the Thermal Pastes.....

Most LN2/Dry Ice users use the Arctic Silver Ceramique as it does alot better at low temperatures than AS5 and it also has better condensation protection properties.

So which one would you recommend for a stock case with no ocing involved AS5 or the AS Ceramique? When first app;y AS5 and running the system for several hours before shutiing down for several more to start the bonding there the temps are up. This drops over the next 3 days of use. How long do you wait for the other?

What did you think you were going to find at "Rat Shack" as the nickname goes there? They simply relabel everything with RS and sell it as their own. I've seen their labeling on small tubes of AS5 as well as a long list of others.

From the top to the bottom, it's crappy to the best.

You give them that much credit? How about from worst to no so ?

I just ordered some Arctic Cooling MX-1. I found it for $7 here:
ARCTIC COOLING MX-1 Thermal Compound by: Arctic-Cooling - e Powerhouse

The sweetest part of the deal was being able to specify US Parcel Post as the shipper, so it was only $2.51 for the shipping. Plus, no tax like I have to pay with NewEgg.
