i bought a bottle off this stuff, it's supposed to be great thermol compound, i was wondering if i can put this stuff on my GPU asswell, cause it's liquid and not "muddy" like other compounds


is this a good compound?

[enzoR]

sorry, someone else please explain :smileysex

[Spider]

ff vertalen dan ik heb dat flesje gekocht en ik wildde weten of ik het ook op mijn gpu kan doen omdat het heel vloeibaar is en niet vast zoals andere compounds
en ik wildde ook weten of het een goedde is

[G|-|oST]

is right... I tried to be serious, and then I saw 'asswell' and 'muddy' and 'liquid' in the same sentence....

LOL

[bh2k]

I'm obviously missing something here....

[Troopah]

Didn't get the good part either man :P

[Spider]

yeah yeah yea soz 4 bad english


I just want to know if i can put that stuff on my gpu ur not, and if it's good thermal compound, not that hard to understand

[enzoR]

lol... ok i'm dead tired i just came from a tennis competition i can answer it now,

yes you can use it, although it is not the best compound. use very little. btw which revision pcm is this. rev 2? becasue the first one corrodes your heatsink because it contains water. (aluminum doesnt corrode...)

[enzoR]

in any case, it is NOT a good compound. i recomend getting something like Arctic Silver 5 or Ceramic which is safer.

[Spider]

damn on the shop site it sayes one of the best thermal compounds

Big debate over this at overclockers.com awhile ago.

Some Arctic Silver employees start talking about PCM+ damaging heatsinks. A few pictures of some retards with their cpu's die markings imprinted in soft copper, claiming they are gouges caused by water in PCM+. A few members of Overclockers jump on the bandwagon, shouting "Oh my god! My heatsink has gouges too". I post a picture of my heatsink with these exact same markings (And I use exclusively arctic silver products on it). And they for the most part are ignored. A user or two of PCM+ post that they've used it for a few months and had no problems. If I remember, some of those involved scared them into switching to AS5 while others said that PCM+ magical evil properties only affect some people. I also remember alot of hinting at possible damage to the cpu itself, and not just the heatsink. It was a very questionable few weeks, which if I cared about a companies business practices would have put me off of arctic silver products. However I only care about performance... and I haven't had a chance to use shin-etsu or Pcm+, which are the only two that I've seen claims of bearing superiority to AS5.

Really I doubt thermal paste matters anywhere near as much as people think it does. I'd just buy some ceramic cause it's so cheap personally.

[Spider]

ok than i'll put it on my radeon 9800pro

[Spider]

it commes with an alcohol pad, is that used to clan the heatsink?

[Lithan]

I'd assume so.

There are no directions?

[Spider]

nope, the compound, the pad and some condom looking thing to put on ur finger

[Lithan]

Oh Finger condoms! I remember those from the first aid kit at work. They are fun. Roll them up and slip them into your buddie's wallet when he isn't looking.

But yeah cleaning the core and the heatsink has got to be what that alcohol is for.

seem to work fine
