SacredCultivator Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Dear Readers,I just wanted to make sure about something as I am not really a hardware person and since I ha dto replace my Mobo, I have to get Thermal Compound because I don't have any and I was just wondering as I know most people recommend Arctic Silver 5 but is there a difference between the brand of it as I am wanting to know.. If not I prefer to go somewhere like Comp USA which is only 10 minutes away rather than to Fry's Electronics which is about 30-40 minutes away...And I checked OfficeDepot/BestBuy (Which are both about 5ish minutes away) but they don't seem to carry Arctic Silver 5.So my question is if it is labeled Arctic Silver 5 does the Manufacturer matter? As you can see CompUSA is their own whereas at Fry's it is from Arctic Silver.Thanks.Edit: Seems to be the same, cept of price difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epoxpro Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hi thereAs long as it's exactly the same compound as Artic Silver 5, it should be fine. I use AS5 on all my CPU's and it works extremely well. Pulls down temps around 5 - 7 degrees celsius after it's "run in".Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
