Let's get this back on topic:
I've used AS5 for years and after what?? 2-3 weeks now I see a solid 3.5C improvement with D7 vs AS5..
That's me, one machine and not a scientific process at all.
Applied in a cross pattern, fairly heavy.
BUT it is fact here and thats what matters to me.
I get better temps on my Q6600 with D7 than with ASS.
