I've always been an Arctic Silver man.
Think i may just get this
http://www.thecoolingshop.com/produc...oducts_id/1354
That shop good?
The link is a HSF ????
Either AS5 or Ceramique. Coolingshop is good as shipping is free. :)
ROFLMFAO. Are you sure that you would "receive" what you were after if you asked that question?Quote:

on another note arctic silver 5 is my gunk of choice too :D
I have that HSF on my cpu. It's not bad, I thought it would be better considering the size.
Ok then, what HSF for the money, and it must have the paste with it.
Thermalright XP-120:)
why must it have the paste with it? as-5 is only about a fiver and is worth the minimal outlay.
xp120 seems to get great reviews all round but it's pricey at £35 without a fan.
My CPU doesnt see over 35oC though. £35 well spent imo :)
Ok, ill just get the compound. Is this good? http://www.thecoolingshop.com/produc...roducts_id/346

Anyone know where to get arctic silver with free delivery and it is in stock?
what about this its £48.76 but you do get an xp-120 a very good fan an a tube of as-5 and a zalmann fan mate to vary the speed and it includes postage.
divide it up and i rek you get:
£35 for the xp120
£7 for the fan mate
£10-15 for a decent quiet good cfm 120mm fan
£5 for a tube of as-5
£postage
so it seems like a pretty good deal? :)
