new kid on the block?

[cheapgoose]

so I was on articsilver.com a few days ago and saw something about a new product coming out...

this guy?

just read the instruction on using this new stuff, and it doesn't say anything about spreading it with a credit card or anything.

linky

 

[cheapgoose]

anyway, I'm gonna get me some and see if it really works better.

 

[amdskip]

Hmmm, I wonder whats different about it?

 

[RalfHutter]

I've been hearing rumors about this stuff for the last year and a half. It's been "top-secret". I'm suprised it was released with no fanfare.

Here's the Arctic Silver page about it.

Ceramique application instructions here..

 

[FluxCap]

Great, CERAMIQUE be the new buzzword now and it is harder to spell than AS3

 

[Fallen Kell]

Due to the unique shapes and sizes of the particles in Ceramique, it will take a minimum of 12 hours to achieve maximum particle to particle thermal conduction and for the heatsink to CPU interface to reach maximum conductivity.

Nice....much better than the 72 hours for AS3

YEAH! NKOTB ROXED!!!!.....

oops wrong thread

 

[cheapgoose]

got some, wish me luck, and damn the 2.7 gram is TINY! the dude over at svc said they just got the bigger tubes today. doh!

 

[Zuerst]

Is it better then Arctic Silver 3???

 

[JokerF15]

I've got some in here, and its about 2-3C degree's better than AS3. The Common # amoung everyone that I've talked to is ~2C better.

If you really think about it 2.7grams isn't tiny at all. How many times are you going to apply this to how many cpu's? I for one am glad its smaller, its less waste. If you really need more, pay the 5 extra dollars and get the 22 grams (that's a helluva lotta thermal compound).

Trust me, this stuff is worth it. However if you already have AS3 laying around, I wouldn't go too crazy over paying some extra money for it unless you're running a highly overclocked computer =).
