    Just noticed this on hitide.

    "Coollaboratory Liquid Pro Thermal Conductive"

    Sounds like the bees knees. I only stuck some arctic silver on my own processor last night (instead of the crappy pad thing that comes with the stock cooler). Would this stuff really make a huge difference v's arctic silver on a good copper heatsink?

    It erodes the heatsink and Ihs on the cpu, as well as bonds them together in places. It works well for short term benching but not for 24/7 use.

    Artic silver is quite difficult to get right. Too much and its useless, and it takes 100+ hours to set in fully
