Has Anyone Switched to AS5 from Another Thermal Compound in the Same System?

[thebestMAX]

If you switched to AS5 from AS2 I am especailly interested in the results. I have been using AS2 for the last 4 systems I have build (had a lot on hand) and quite happy with it but would it be worth it for me to go back and change them to AS5 ?

Like to hear about any other changes in compounds also.

Opinions? Thanks

I just went from 3 to 5. 5 is much easier to deal with and my cpu temp are right back to where it should be - 2c or so. I applied it from another surface, not the tube, so I still have a little sitting in open air to see how it changes over time. As far as long term under stress, we'll see.

I didn't notice any significant temp drops but as said AS5 is much easier to use. I've used AS2 and OCZ Silver Compound (the old stuff before it was recalled).
