Quick thermal compound (Shin etsu) question

[Fallengod]

Just a quick question. Looking to buy some thermal paste. A guy on a forum has some Shin etsu compound. Supposedly its better than as5?(Better in a very small negligible amount) Anyone with any experience that has used and/or can confirm the quality/performance of this? I have not really ever heard of it. Thanks in advance.

define better???

Also show me any review or linkthat says that companies such as Zalman and Thermaltake or Scythe...etc... when they provide thermal paste with there CPU`s send you an inferior product?

There are alot of good thermal paste compounds on the market....
It just so happens that with the AS brands and the Shin Estu brands after they "get broken in for 100-200 hrs" your temps supposedly drop by a few degrees centigrade,

The skies the limit....
Just becuase you don1t use AS brand or even Shin Estu brand doesn`t mean your going to fry your cpu or video card.
Most of the time when things like that happen its usully a issue with something the USER did...not the thermal paste compound!!

Yes--Shin Estu is a good compound!

Its AMD approved if thats saying something. Its great stuff just as AS5 is.

I wasnt implying any inferiority of other products whatsoever, I dont know where you got that from. If youre questioning why I said "slightly better", I checked out 3 benchmarks on 3 "noname" websites that showed it like 1-2c load below the others. Yes, I know, thats negligible, which is why I said so. I just wanted feedback from someone who has actually used it.


Thanks for your very elongated answer to my question. :beer:

For the cooler manufacturers, they're going to give you what's "acceptable." AS5 is made with a "rare metal," contributing to expense. Of course, if they gave you a small tube of AS5 with their heatsinks, they'd also rise the price of their product bundle. And they'd have to make some arrangement with the AS5 manufacturer. The latter may think it's more profitable to avoid such arrangements, but I can't think of a really strong reason for it.
