roflrofl.... as i have said. this is the only topic which i dont agree with yoda.

Even tho TIM's will only help marginally, i think that margin is worth the extra, .50 cents? if you think of how many applications you can do with 1 tube of AS5, i think its about .50 cents.

I just dont feel comfortable if the paste is white and not silver. I dont know why, i guess its my OCD kicking in.

But yea, in real life applications, only expect at best 1-2C improvement with even the high performing shiz tzu (i have no idea on how to spell this TIM, its the most popular over at XS forums)? i think thats how it spelled. Doesnt really improve anything if your on AIR, and marginal improvement on water. From the intital tests ive run. Im sure Yoda would say the same thing.

But it just feels better for me to use AS5, :T
