View Full Version : which thermal paste ?
I was wondering what thermal paste everyone was using for dice and ln2 ? I read that Artic Silver wasn't that great for low temps.
Thanks

Temp limits...
Ceramique - Peak: –150°C to >180°C Long-Term: –150°C to 125°C
AS5 - Peak: –50°C to >180°C Long-Term: –50°C to 130°C
Ceramique is the better of the two for extremely low temps.

I used to use AS5 on my old 12v vapo's cos -25 or so was max with load, and noticed no difference when I swapped to ceramique, but with the Mach2GT I use ceramique cos it's below -50 on occasion :rolleyes:
Never seen anything of dow corning's paste, will have to look into it...

I would recommend not getting any of these if you have a prommy. You would be running in the "dark" with unkown compund.It would be worth to wait for a couple of days for the mail to arrive. BTW Ceramique is pretty cheap
