to ceramique or not to ceramique! that is the question

[boris_37]

So i bought a phase from some guy who bought it from nol.


Runs great and finally will have the time to hook it up this weekend. Question is...

Should i put ceramique in between the processor and the condenser?


It only gets about -50C with no load.

Let me know, is dry the best option?

Arctic Ceramique all the way.

Ceramique between the evaporator and the processor :up: yes

Could always wedge the processor into the condenser but it won't net you any results :D

okay i thought so. i will go pick up a 2.5g this week. i love nol ;)

Get the big tube, once you have it you can use it for tons of stuff.

Will Ceramique beat AS5? Currently using AS5 and getting good results so far, around 20C deltaT between evap and CPU core temp @ appox 260W CPU heat load.

Agreed. I bought 2 of the huge tubes and now I use it for everything from polishing the silver to sticking things together :clap:


ps- it really does a wonder at polishing evaporators, pots, and processor IHS

Killermiller -- I got it! :rofl:

[Raadster]

why is ceramique so much better then as5?

[loonym]

For one temperature ratings, ceramique is rated to -150c vs -50c for as5. Also ceramique is completely non-conductive which makes it useful for applications where you may not want to use as5.

So I can stick with AS5, I guess. My SS doesn't go below -40 anyway since it was tuned for max load, and the issue with AS5 being conductive doesn't apply on an IHS. Thanks loonym :)
