It would be the same as CPUs...there really isn't any difference. Id check out the threads that already exist on this but for CPUs. There is a recent one I posted in that had links to all the latest testing so you can choose fromthere.

AS5 needs like 50-200 hours to cure according to their website... LOLOLOL.

MX-2 or MX-4 are my go too.

Ive had akasa shinetsu thermal pads on a chipset and gpu cooler for my Dell Xps Gen 1 laptop

Here's a test of TIM's from 2011 that was done on a GPU. MX4 is not included. Thermal Interfaces Roundup: Retail Products

Hey guys, anyone have tried Thermaltake TG1 vs TG3? currently using AS 5, I really want to know a little bit about this one,
Regards,

Based on that review, I got some of the TG1 and I liked it better than AS5. I felt it was easier to install and it seemed to out perform AS5, but I have no testing/benchmarking to back that up.

Whichever you can get the cheapest, the shinetsu thermal pads worked well because i had to stack them on a gpu and chipset.

I think you posted this same, older, link in the CPU thread!

AS5 for me on everything alot of the time it's dependent on the quality of the surface you're applying it to the smoother the surface the better the contact the lower the temps will be

stock AMD CPU HSF surfaces a rough as guts but I still see -4 on idle and around -6 on load over the stock paste
My Theromolab Baram on the other hand has a really nice mirror finished nickel plating and I see -10 idle and -15 load temps compared to it's stock paste
on my HD7850's I found an avg of -7 idle and -10 load when doing F@H over the stock paste

thankyou so much, unfortunetly testing/benchmarking data may helped me out out a lot but there is no problem,
i would like to know more about it, like the hardware you use with it, time...

Artic cooling thermal P is pretty good.. use them all the time!

if in the choice there is no Mx-4 the default winner for me is always the Gelid GC extreme

also you might notice it ... i hate Arctic Silver (the brand) reasoning behind? for me (aka: IMHO) they where good, now they are just far behind other brands, ok 1° +/- is no big deal but
1. the curing time of the AS5 is a pita while the Mx-4 have a shorter time
2. quantity, well i like to have 4g and not 3.5g for the same price (even sometime the 3.5g is more expensive than the 4g, come on AS your past is not worth what it was in the past (pun intended))
3. both GC Extreme and Mx-4 are cheaper and in the +/-1° range ...

if you like it and you are a fan of it since the beginning and want to keep on it: good for you (and for them : loyal customers are golden and need to be cherished) (generalizing not targeting anyone )
