Pretty impresive results from the geek if the're true. Has anybody ever tried the diamond grease? If the results are as goos as posted I would break down all my rigs and use that.
I've been using AS5. The geek posted a 10 degree difference using a P4 Prescott.(Pretty significant)

I'm in the same boat, though I'd just as soon ditch my P4 in favor of a new i7.

I tried Arctic Silver 5 - and just about burned-out a video card!

Then, I found ThermalFusion 400 Thermal Compound (from CoolerMaster) and WOW - what a difference.

The trouble with Arctic Silver is that it is too thick (can't spread it thin enough to be truly effective) - and it "cures" over time.

ThermalFusion 400 Thermal Compound has very nice consistency, spreads very thinly, has less electro-conductive properties, equivalent thermo-conductive properties, and is "non-curing".

Once I cleaned-up & re-seated my heat-sink/fan on my BFG GTS-250 with the CoolerMaster compound, the temps dropped between 10c and 15c! Running at nearly full-load, this card now has a hard time exceeding 75c (where it was hovering at around 90c before).

I'm NEVER using that over-priced, sub-standard Arctic Silver garbage again!

AC MX-3 or OCZ Freeze. I don't use others.
