H50 & Arctic Silver 5

[HaX]

Thoughts on using H50 & Arctic Silver 5? I only ask because I'll be moving my h50 between systems in the future.

come on someone has had to try some on the h50 any results?

Well I moved my H50 twice and the first time as5 was applied and my temps were approx the same within 1-2*c. Second time I used ceramique and my temps were about 1* cooler than original. The Corsair tm was pretty good.

Exactly the same experience here: temperatures were pretty much identical with AS5 and the Corsair gunk for me too.

The Corsair stock TIM is actually Shin-Etsu X23-7783D. It's the best paste-based TIM. (Indigo Xtreme is the best, period, but it's not a paste application.)

Fry's actually has it for $8, but looks like it's online only and not in-store. It's well worth it though.

thank you for the quick responses, when i move my h50 around ill just end up using arctic silver because it's what i have on hand.

I was using the stock Corsair paste until I had to move it. Then I used AS5 because I have a tube of it. I haven't noticed a huge difference either way.
