Title says it all. Please tell if you know. It will help a lot of other people too.

If you don't know, or if you don't have anything "useful" to say, then don't reply. It is hard to find applicable replies within the maze of spams.

    well, thats the problem no one will deliver Arctic silver or any other thermal paste to SL, i would have got some already if some one do that, nway ill call SLmega tomo and ask them if they can bring some AS 5 for us.

    It's not polished! It is lapped. They are two different things.

    In SL? All you can find is crappy IC paste. (Actually crap would be much better @ transmitting heat. :lol: )
    Yeah. I think it is corroding the sink and heat spreader. LOL.

    We can order from here (is it not Arctic Silver 5? :S) But the overhead is high for shipping, unless we can bundle few together, like Chamitha said. (But it won't be sharing! It is one or more tubes per person. The tube is small and how can you share anyway? You need the tube to apply Arctic Silver... :D)

    You can try what I did too. (i.e. lapping the HSF/CPU but watchout :P) It did a real good job. The CPU only reaches 60C now on Small FFT test of Prime95. 60C on CoreTemp! This is the junction temperature! Not the case (IHS I think) temperature! Case temperature, which most mobo's show as CPU temp in BIOS is usually 10 degress less than than T-junction. So actually my CPU is running at 50C @ max load for most people. And this is with the crappy stock cooler + unity plaza thermal paste! Give me AS5 and it'll lower the temps a LOT!

    P.S.
    I wish I could run TAT on Vista x64. :(

    I wanna know tooo....i call SLmega & they said they can
    So if there are many people wanting to buy, they will import. Let them know they'll have a good business with AS5 stuff :D

    too bad buddy the stuff they have there is Arctic Silver Cermique, that is infact the same goop u can buy @ unity, its the white ceramic heat compound, AS5 is silver dioxide and some other cocktail its highly efficient in transfering heat from metal surface to another metal surface, but for other surfaces like IC's, memory chips ceramic stuff is better as far as i know.

    interesting that i found Zalman thermal grease there, that is as good as AS5 check it out
    and it will cost $29.58 for shipping and everything, thats better than nothing i say lool

    Core temp shows mine around 67C @ 3.32GHz under full load :(
    BTW,TAT is not accurate IMO,it shows as low as 18C when "core temp" shows it as 30C(Come on,18C :P is it possible)
