wow..kinda pricey..will it really lower temps several C more than AS5

Thanks for the links guys..performance-pc is in fl ..so I get tax too..
Frozen cpu is better choice...may buy some for Sh*ts& Grins and see what happens

can you spread this with a fine modeling paint brush?

Yep it is pricey, however when you see how far this stuff spreads it will really clear up the price issue. IMO, with the seringe they send out you'd be good for 300 core mounts if not more.

The stuff is really unique in that once you place it on the core, it really seems like it won't spread, but once you break the bubble(so tp speak) it spreads and spreads and spreads for what seems like forever and it makes your tiny drop seem like much more than necessary.

I can't compare to AS5 because I ran AS3 and it had not set yet on my first mount it gave me 10c under load over my fresh AS3, then I remounted with a thinner layer and put a little more tension on my Storm waterblock and it gained me 3c more under load so a totaly of 13c overall on my AS3 application.

I do agree though that my AS3 mount was not very good. it was on the IHS, probably to thick and had not cured. So take it with a grain of salt. I am reading though, that people have seen 3 - 5c improvements consistently. I think the main reason they see the improvements is that the stuff spreads so nicely and probably maximized the contact with much less effort than the usual AS products.
