Arctic Silver

[Geffy]

Xsivforce,

I have some of the Arctic Silver left over from when I orgi used it. There is about 1mm (3/8 ths of an inch) of the stuff left in the syringe, do you think that would be enough to recoat a AMD Athlon CPU die, and do the base of a ThermalTake Volcano 7+.

Thanks

im not X =P but that should be enough

 

[xsivforce]

Yes, it should be plenty. You only need a very thin layer spread evenly over the cpu die.

OK, then, hopefully the next time that I am online, i will be using a volcano 7+, first I am going to check that the thing all works by plugging it into the PSU.

Wish me luck

 

[xsivforce]

Good luck. Just watch your temp at first to make sure it is OK.

Done, damn that thing was difficult to get attached to the motherboard, there were a bunch of transistors in the way, but eventually I got it on. The temp is a bit higher than my old one but that will drop down after the Arctic Silver has weedled its way into the cracks and such. I think I will use the heatsink on Low for normal work, med for some games and High when I am not about to listen to it.

Let me guess, you have an Asus A7A266. Yes, the temp will drop a little as it settles in.

catch, you calling me cheap, no I'm kidding, I used Arctic Silver 3, I call it Arctic Silver as it saves typing.

No XS, I have an ABIT KT7-RAID mobo.
