Hi , Just got my Arctic 7970 accelero cooler. but was surprised to see that the two part G1 thermal adhesive to glue the heatsinks on had been replaced by a small of ready mixed paste in a toothpaste type tube.
There was no marking on it, and an added loose note that came with the cooler said the curing time was 1 hour.
I have not seen any reference to this new paste. Has anybody used it ? I was getting worried about the long G1 setting time and any issues of it shorting the components so would appreciate any feedback ( arctic website does not mention it )
thanks

My Twin Turbo II came with the mix it yourself type and my older Accelero Plus came with the tube. They are very similar, maybe even identical. I haven't had any issues with either one.

Only issue I had, when I removed the heat sinks, the thermal paste left schmutz that wouldn't come off the ICs no matter what I tried to clean them with.
