| Shin Etsu or Arctic Silver 5 or Shin Etsu Pads? Well I just got my San Diego 4000+ core. I'm wondering, I can get Arctic Silver 5 or the Shin Etsu grease. Oooooooor, I found this: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/shpc.html Does this Shin Etsu heat pad work just as good? I've looked around but I can't find any articles on it. What's your guys' opinion on this? Which of the three should I use? Oh, and I'm going with Stock Heatsink, it should do me fine. That is unless you guys tell me I MUST have a different one and tell me which one it is. lol Thanks!

| I don't think you can go wrong either way...I think both are excellent products but me personally I've always been a fan of Arctic Silver 5 here is a thread that might help you a bit... Arctic Silver 5 -- AMD NOT Recommended

| What I just read recently for most applications if there is a pad on leave it on if not you can use either a pad or arctic silver. There were no measurable difference. I don't really want to start a war. JUST WHAT I read.

| rjs735, you are correct. My own testing showed that the results where well within the margin of error. So in a blind test you could not tell the difference.

| hhmm interesting. I've heard so many different things. Like, I've heard that AS5 lowers temps by 4-6 degrees C and that pads don't.... haha, oh well. Thanks for the input. I'll look into it all more indepth.

| Although I have not tested the pads, I would assume that they might perform marginally worse than AS5, but not so bad that it is out of the margin of error. As for that basic white TIM when I tested it it would come in third, but only by a degree and the margin of error was 5C
