Is one tube of Artic Silver enough for 2 cpus?!?! PLEASE ANSWER FAST.

 

[PCAddict]

Hell yea.

In my experience, I've reapplied my HSF to my Coppermine chip 6 times and the AS tube is 80% occupied. So, yes, a tube of AS is more than enough for two CPUs.

thanks! fast reply!

I just read on some site that a tube is good for 30+ applies

 

[frizzlefry]

NO! One tube is not enough! j/k









<< I just read on some site that a tube is good for 30+ applies >>



should be good for more than that.
Just apply a really thin layer, too much and it gets really messy. Be careful and not let it touch any of the bridges of resistors.

I have done over a 100 applications and the tube is still a quarter full.

I've had the same tube for over a year and it's done about 30 installs and is about 2/3 full

AS1 tubes are also much bigger. One of the &quot;features&quot; of AS2 is that it comes in a smaller tube for a higher price.

Boy that sounds like a real deal, less product for more money.

I wish I could answer my own questions as fast as you did!

So AS and AS2 is the same ?

I have *TWO* AS . I bought it when it was still unknown product
and have to buy it at applied materials . If it's the same then
I don't need to buy AS2.

I thought, I read somewhere that the AS2 don't have any electric conductivity anymore (Just a little and harmless).

I fried my Athlon 750 because of it

It's almost impossible to make a tube small enough to contain only enough for 2 CPUs.

Diamond conducts heat about 40% better than silver does, and one company is now selling thermal paste laced with diamond powder.

whoa, that stuff must be expensive! :Q
