AS5 spreading out using bankcard, room/environment temp calibrated at 30°C, system was shut down twice every day to let the paste "cool" down.

Load Averages:
day1: 36.7°C -- Max temp: 38°C
day2: 36.4°C -- Max temp: 37°C
day3: 36°C -- Max temp: 37°C

Testing now with Arctic's methods, blob of AS5 in the middle and letting the heatsink spread it out.

interesting...!

test over 24 hours, full stressed, 2 shutdowns of 10min, temps are no different from the other method at this time. and the margin of error is within 0.5°C.

On to the CoolerMaster Premium, that stuff is hard to spread out! ended up using the same "dot in the middle" method, much easier and same effect!

CM Premium:
DAY1 36.9°C -- Max temp: 38°C
DAY2 36.4°C -- Max temp: 37°C
DAY3 36.1°C -- Max temp: 37°C

must be said though, that this is a load average, with fluctuations, I will include max reached temps for each day also,

I spilled a full (!!) tube trying to apply that stuff and ended up shaking and shivering. After the shaking stopped I used the good ol' asIII...

use the blob in the middle method, fast & effective, as you can see by the results, it equals AS5 performance

AS5:
day1: 36.7°C -- Max temp: 38°C
day2: 36.4°C -- Max temp: 37°C
day3: 36°C -- Max temp: 37°C

CM Premium:
DAY1 36.9°C -- Max temp: 38°C
DAY2 36.4°C -- Max temp: 37°C
DAY3 36.1°C -- Max temp: 37°C

how big should that blob be?

they're equal if we see the results...

jmke · 5th December 2003, 09:11

hard to put in words, so I have taken pictures of the blob, before & after, you can see it spread out very neatly all over the core. online soon

btw AS3 is performing far from bad either, hovering around 6-7°C over environment temperature.

AS3:

DAY1: 36.8°C -- Max temp: 38°C
