Akasa AK-450

[Postal Dude]

Can anyone tell me how this stuff compares to AS5? How long is it before this silver based compound settles in and temps start to drop?

 

[_Korruption_]

I've never heard of it, so I can probably say others won't be familiar with the stuff either... Why not go with AS5? Price?

nah price wasnt an issue. The vendor where i went didnt have as5, but they had this stuff. just as expensive as AS5, also silver based, and akasa is a known brand.

EDIT: Also, could anyone give me the thermal conductivity of the following, i cant find them. AS5, arctic cooling MX-1,
The AK-450 im using has a thermal conductivity of 9.2428 W/m.C
