Which is better?

[cheyneboy]

When it comes to usiing a thermal compound, which do you feel is better,
AS5 or Ceramique ?

[Aphex_Tom_9]

for normal use, AS5, for use with cold conditions, i think ceramique or alumina is better.

I use AS5 on my Mach I and Mach II fine. I did use Ceramique and Alumina a few times but it was real sticky stuff and it was a pain in the arse to remove the evaporator. Unless you are using a cascade, AS5 should be fine. If you do have a cascade, I'm afraid you just need good contact as hardly any thermal paste can work at -100C.

Probly just use thermal grease that comes with the phase changer cpu kit..

seriously, it is interesting.. if you just do a quick mount and bench for one day AS5 is better.. i would never have thought that.
