whats the difference between
Arctic Silver Premium Silver Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound
and
Arctic Silver Premium High-Density Thermal Compound

 

first one is silver, second one is ceramic
first one conducts, second one won't
if i remember correctly, reviewers say the ceramic one will run a few degrees hotter but still lower than that generic crap, but with the ceramic you won't have to worry about shorting stuff out if you accidently use too much or "spill it" but i've never had a problem with the silver

 

I've used the silver and I've smeared it all over and still have had no problems.



Just remember kids, thermal paste of any kind is just meant to fill in the cracks between 2 surfaces, it's not to be used like the 3 inches of condiments on a burger.

 

I run Artic Silver Ceramique. It's THICK. You're not supposed to glob it on.

Wang, get the silver 5.

And I just shipped out your schtuff.
