Thermal Compound Shootout

Have you ever wondered if that expensive goop is better than the cheap white stuff you get when you buy a new CPU or heatsink? Well, Viper's Lair has put together a review that might surprise you...

"I've always found it odd when manufacturers claim a 5C+ improvement over other thermal compounds. In our last roundup back in February, we saw that wasn't the case. The only way I can possibly see that much of an improvement is if it's compared to the worst possible compound out there. This time around, although it isn't a 5C difference between the best and the worst, there is more of a gap."

i think he still should sit AS3 longer

it takes up to 4 weeks for the performance to achieve its maximum ability

There was a company at Comdex that was posting a very significant performance difference between Arctic Silver 3 and their product (it was like semi liquid based). We picked up some samples of it and I'm pretty intrested to see how it performs.

what type of compound is it???

semi-liquid as in it runs?
