GC-Extreme is very good, that is what we used in MOA EMEA Finals. We did ~1450MHZ in 3DMark 2011 with 1.5v and -130, the paste looses contact is you go lower. Without IHS, ofc
Born to lose, live to win!
The problem is that the paste looses the contact (Freeze is good until about 150-155 C from what I tested on 990X), it does the same on CPU.
The pot is Ryba's fat, I have other paste to try but no time and no LN2

Hey guys,
this weekend we selected some further experience with thermal paste.
We tryed the Gelid GC Extreme and on the first run we have seen how crazy this paste is working! Damn the heat transmission is so good that we can run same clocks on 10 to 15° higher temps. Crazy!
But lower then -150° on the Pot Base and it cracks... damn! can someone give us a mix of Gelids heat transmission and Freeze cracking point? Is Thermal Pasta mixing possible?
Freeze just cracks if you are running full pot, so you need to hold the tempereatures near to the full pot point but never fill it up realy.
For our runs we used the Freeze coz it is better controlable.
Unfortunatly the Shin Etsu not arrived here in time so we need to test it another day.
And we had no time to test the Gelid on a Heatspreader less card but from the behavior on the with HS Card it could be that the Gelid is the Holy grail of HS less benching.
So for those crazy runs, you used Freeze at.. -170 .. -180c, and IHS still in place?
Didnt the stock shin-itsu "crack"?
anyway, congratulations on those great scores guys. Really well done!

** and some screw-ups i don't wanna mention
He means didn't the stock paste between die and IHS crack
yea i also want to know that?
the paste between core and ihs does it never crack? :P
edit: aah thanks loopy.

Could that be good enough to test? Havent ever heard about that paste before..
Atleast its damn high prised
Try to mix that gelid and freeze, it could be pretty perfect if ur lucky Cant find that OCZ freeze from finland so i have to test that Zalman and revoltec diamond atleast.
Arctic silver is bad in gpu's? I have used that on phenom overclockind with fullpot many hours without problems, but maybe thats lilbit different situation

the thing with phenom and any other previous -180 benching is that the core didnt crack because the heat coming from load source was not allot. But the 580's make so much heat the difference in core and pot temp is big enough to create the crack.
I think thats how it works
Yeah, i tough so too and thats why i said that its lilbit different story with CPU :P
And i have only slim pot here so its gonna make things much harder too -.-
I would be happy even with 1300-1350MHz gpu clocks with that pot. Il have some results on weekend when mine LN2 comes finally.

Hi guys what about MX-2 and also between HS and core? or it's better to live the sinetsu i don't know.

evga frostbite you can buy from evga store
24 Carat is just bigger tube, that's all. There are some tricks for benching without IHS, I'll share after I'm sure I'm not wrong!

Tested alot of stuff the last couple of days. Tried the Gelid Extreme thermalpaste, and it worked surprisingly good. Actually, it works better then Freeze, atleast at the same temperature.
Also without IHS, it works fine. Seems it sticks better directly to the silicon than other pastes do. Problem is tho -as mentioned-, it can only handle -130.
All in all im reaching about the same clocks we did at MOA (1400 to 1450). So (-120 / without IHS / Gelid Extreme) = (-150 / IHS in place / OCZ Freeze).
