Arctic Ceramique for 5900NU?

[jyi786]

This weekend, I took off the HSF from my BFG 5900NU and cleaned the bubble gum junk from the GPU, memory, and HSF unit. I applied Arctic Ceramique instead. Is Arctic Ceramique all right for this application, or should I use Arctic Silver 3/5?

I'd use Ceramique. Arctic Silver says it's non-conductive/capacitive, so it works. You can use AS5 too, but you just have to be more careful.

Have you seen any benefit? Overclock higher? I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

I've been able to OC my memory from max 980 to 1000, but that may be because I flashed the video BIOS from 5900NU to 5950Ultra.

I ran mine with AS3,Ceramique and found no real advantage of one over the other as far as temps. The Ceramique isn't conductive so I'd go with that.
