Best thermal paste for Q9650/ TRUE Rev. C?

Post by Morten74 » Sun Oct 10, 2010 1:37 am

Having recently replaced my Thermalright Ultra-120 for a Thermalright Ultra Extreme Rev. C i used the thermal paste included with the cooler (applied thin layer to both heat spreader on CPU and heatsink, as instructed with the cooler). On the Ultra-120 I used AC5 applied as instructed by Arctic Silver website (horisontal line).

My temps are the same as before:

Idle:
36/ 29/ 32/ 36

Intel Burntest x5:
59/ 52/ 53/ 51

Not too bad I guess, maybe I just expected more from the TRUE Rev. C.

I wondering if I use try to reapply the heatsink using another paste (I have AC5, AC Ceramique and the Thermalright Chill factor)?

Thanks in advance

:wink: Morten
