What's wrong with AS5 or Ceramique, it was the standard back in the day!

i guess there has been some advances

interested to see how the metal pads will perform

I use MX3 or the Noctua stuff, was very surprised with that tbh. Its runier than MX3 so easier to use and the same temps.

 

[AMDFTW]

yer but you cant buy it on its own can you?

also have you seen/heard anything about the metal pads?

 

[tinytomlogan]

I dont like the metal pads cos its a pita to clean. And yeah you can buy it on its own dude.

 

[AMDFTW]

what about the liquid metal

were can i buy it from fella

 

[tinytomlogan]

Liquid metal is meant to be good but again is a complete PITFA to remove.

Just look in the usual shops dude, its deffo available.

Try quietpc

Yeah me too. Never seen them before. They must be a really soft alloy so they can squish between any imperfections from milling.

The Noctua stuff is quite good. And MX-3 is also very good. People say the MX-3 is the best TIM out there.
