i plan to lap the SK-7 and try this tim to see if can get 2-4c off my current temp so i can Oc a bit more and stay below 50c load ...
anybody using it ?
how does it perform compared to AS3 ?
thanks seversphere !
here's a Thermal compounds comparison i found .on the 3 day Shin-Etsu was getting 2.5c idle / 3c load less than Artic Siver 3 .curing temps changes are on par with the ones from that guy on Ammb .
i'm going to give it a shot .
got the stuff . but the results are a bit mixed .:D
after spending 1h lapping the sk-7 i applied the g751 using the method from the link above .i tried it on the slug but the paste kept "slipping" ,the hsf gave better grip and in the end it wasn't that difficult to spread .
i was using an analogue thermometer before and the senfu proved it to be off 2c ambient temps .also the case/cpu temps are taken with the cover on . before my temps with stock Sk-7 + As3 were :
ambient - ~22c
case - 31c
cpu - 40c idle / 45c load
after ,at the end of first day :
ambient - ~22c
case - 30c
cpu - 39c idle / 44c load
at the second day (today) ,the ambient temps started to drop and is here that the test lost the plot :
ambient - ~20-21c
case - 29c
cpu - 36c idle / 42c load

hopefully i should be able to test it this weekend .
have to wait till monday to give them a ring ...

right now :
ambient - ~18c
case - 27c
cpu - 34c idle / 40c load
as you can see the test is flawed and i don't feel like turning on the heating right now
the lapping & g751 shaved 3c off my temps .
