@ 2009/02/23Arctic Silver 5 has long been hailed as the king of thermal compounds
but it seems the king is finally dead. The GELID GC-1 trumps the AS5 in a
couple of aspects. Letting the temperatures speak for themselves, the GC-1
does a much better job at conducting heat (or maybe, not impeding it as
much). There is a caveat here, however, as the "delta" temperatures were
somewhat close. With that said, the GC-1 did have a smaller "delta" between
the idle and load temperatures in every test.
