> 3 dayIf youre even looking at this then you know what it does. AS has a very high standard of quality and even the lowest grade crap they dump in the trash cans at their factory is leaps and bounds above what cpu and graphic card manufacturers seem to put on their products. This particular type is EXCELLENT for thermal distribution. For a proper example, and as an experiment, I put an i7-3770k on a Z77 Sabertooth with the thinnest amount of this compound as I possible could. The layer was as thin as paper...lets put it that way. The computer did not run cool (water cooled CPU and graphics card, btw) but it did run most games and applications just fine with the occasional overheat/blue screen/reboot. After using ArctiClean to remove the layer I put on I reapplied a more realistic layer of this compound and the CPU temperature dropped an additional 20 degrees Celsius.

> 3 dayI like the larger quantity as you get more for the value. It’s easy to spread, works much better than other compounds and it gives me peace of mind knowing that my expensive components will be protected.

> 3 dayI dont care what people claim about other pastes, this paste is the best PASTE you can buy. Obviously you could buy liquid metal, but then you arent talking about paste anymore.... In terms of paste, this is the best you can buy. I have tried so many brands, and ran them all through their paces. This paste consistently outperforms all others.
