I am just wondering, if this tape does any worse, I got a blueorb flying around, and would like to know how the cooling is...

What "cooler" are you replacing? Video?

Thermal tape = bad
Arctic silver = good

To extend what stultus was saying:

Thermal Tape = Bad
Artic Silver grease = UGLY (AS IN HORRIBLE!)
Artic Silver EPOXY = GOOD!

(assuming for video cooling)

If this isn't for video, you better not be putting a blue orb on a CPU! ;) Because they aren't designed to cool CPU's. :D

Than you so much, junthin. You were able to express my sentiments so much clearly.

Well actully I wanna put it on my KK266, saying I want to replace a chipset cooler... But the problem is that the Blue Orb mounting doesn't fit, so I was wondering if I could just use the tape without doing worse than I do now... I manly add this for the kick...
