    Antec Silver Compound

    Anyone know how well Antec Reference Silver Thermal Compound performes compared to Artic Silver 5?

    I have the antec here now, and the artic should have been here today, and im itching to build the new system, but wondering how bad the antec might be comared to the 'real' stuff?

    I waited for my Arctic, but then I'd have had to rebuild the next day when my HSF turned up anyway ... just let the anticipation build

    Antec Reference should perform identical to AS3, while Antec Formula 5 should perform identical to AS5.

    Ive found ceramique not to perform as well but is safer in the regard that it doesnt conduct electricity.
