Thermal paste...
2004-11-26, 10:10 AM #1
Quick question, is this type of thermal paste good enough for my Athlon 64 3000? http://www.bestbyteinc.com/prodinfo.asp?number=TIM-ARS-535&variation=&aitem=5&mitem=13

If not, could someone point me to some type of thermal paste that would work better on my CPU and lower it's temperature more than this stuff?

Yes. Anything with a high silver content is good (arctic silver is some of the best)

Oh yea, also, does anyone know where I can find some good case fans with blue LEDs for cheap? I found some on newegg for $3, but shipping was $5, which is ridiculous. I don't really need them for cooling, just for aesthetics :)

There's usually a free shipping option. If nothing else, CompUSA, though it'll probably cost ~the same as newegg ;)

Well for some reason, I call bull****. Main reason? My comp before I put thermal grease on--60-70 C. My comp now? 25-45C (big margin, but easily within the limits)
