You guys could go the graphite pad route instead of LM. I'm still using the Innovation Cooling IC Thermal Pad I posted about over in the thread "show off your tech purchase."
What's your latest tech purchase?
It's not a bad thing at all, doing really well I think!! :D Have you tested the previous CPU with a few tests to see if there's much of an increase? ;)www.techpowerup.com
The only minor issues I ran into was use something like tweezers to move the pad into the heatspreader don't touch it. Started to curl after removed from the plastic clamshell package, and it's slippery. Had a heck of time getting it to stay put while mounting the heatsink.
what are the thermals like when you use them?
And, it was suggested putting a drop of distilled water on the cpu just to temporarily hold it in place somewhat, ever heard that?
