Cani ask you one thing? Arctic silver is supposed to have a >200 hours curing time, don't you think that you didn't let it have the time to express its full potential with just few hours of cure time?
I have read another review where arctic silver 5 behaves slightly better than Shin-Etsu X23-7783, when tested with the right curing time.In this review i also found that Shin-Etsu MicroSi G751 performs better than x23-7783d and has the upside of not being as thick ,being so more multipurpose use than its thicker brother...

Arctic Silver's pastes are interesting...all their retail pastes 'require' 36-300 hours of break-in before final performance is found, but pressure and temperature seem to shorten it significantly. I'm interested in the long-term performance of the Arctic Silver pastes, but I'm not about to move the goalposts for them nor am I convinced that the numbers I see at the end of a 12 hour load aren't indicative of nearly-final performance.

As for other reviews out there, if I thought there was already good data out there, I wouldn't spend this much time on testing it myself.

G751, 7783D and Gelid Extreme are all on the docket (those in particular are already in house)

Basically, if it's a TIM that's for sale at one of the major stores that I have access to, I'm going to try to include it
