Hello,

I use Arctic Ceramique and temperature is lower for about 5 degrees between Arctic normal silicon.

What model of the thermal paste you recommend ?

Arctic Silver is 2 x more expensive as Arctic Ceramique. That paste I use only in my PC, to test cpus I use normal silicon type H in 12 g tube for 1,5 USD Wink

well like i said, i use my as5 tube constantly and have lent it to friends etc, and its still very heavy, so id imagine its at least half full

and its a lot better performing.

if youre just using it to test, id just pick up a generic tube of the white silicon stuff and use that. its maybe $1-2 usd for a small tube of that that would last you quite a while.

Please read my last post in this topic. I wrote same as you Smile

Arctic Silver VS Ceramique is very very small diffrence (about 1 degree) in performance but Ceramique cost half.

Special feature of Cer is that he not transfer electric Wink

All Arctic paste are good and I don't want to talk which is better. I only want to know who and what use Smile
