I have an Athlon 64 Venice core running at 2.55 / 1.5volts. I am using a heatsink/fan combo from a FX/X2 processor for my CPU cooling. I am getting to about 50C under load and want to bring that down a bit of possible and I saw this thermal compound and figured it might be worth a degree or two over my current Artic Silver 5. But I'd like to hear some opinions if anyone has used it.

I have seen a few reviews about that. Apparently it dissolves aluminum. I saw a pic of a zalman flower hsf with all the aluminum parts near the cpu eaten away.

within a few days the fluid metal compund becomes solid and removing and cleaning the hsf/CPU could be difficult. its a good thermal compound though. and you will need a hsf made of copper or silver, do not use it on any aluminium parts.
