Arctic Silver CMQ-22G

One review claims 30 degrees cooler which I have trouble believing. Anyone have experiences with this product:

I've been only using AS5 for the past 3 years. Any reason to switch?

uh....it's just Ceramique. should be within +-1 to 2 degrees in most circumstances.

AS5 will cool better (couple degrees at best) but Ceramique is not conductive. It is far from unreal.

Those are NOT reviews from NewEgg!! They are customer comments!
All AS products are way over rated. At one time AS products were the best...now they are considered to be one of many good thermal compounds.

What you need to remember is most people when they apply new thermal paste without realizing it they also clean there the dust and such out of there heatsink thus thery get a super decrease in there temps.
30 degrees cooler most likely not!

Ttoally, the guy who got 30 degrees cooler obviously just screwed up the initial installation.

Like Yoda said, those comments on newegg are not reviews and should be treated as pointers at best.
