The issue of thermal pumpout was covered by AMD for XP processors in 2003:
>>>For permanent installation AMD only recommends using phase change material with the heatsink/fan. No thermal grease is recommended for anything other than temporary evaluation purposes. And the only thermal grease...
Shin Etsu pads are good for pads...but no match for thermal compound.
I have to order Shin Etsu pads in huge quantities...in an exact size. So far I've only used them for customers who are in the aerospace industry.
This thread is:
"Is Shin Etsu as effective as Arctic Silver 5 for CPU cooling?"
So I think that it is fair to talk about specific Shin Etsu products and specific Arctic Silver products.
I don't think I should compare the effectiveness of Shin Etsu X23-7783D to AS3, or Alumina .. or...
I don't want to argue, but let me offer these facts:
I have spoken with the engineeers at Shin Etsu Micro Si many times...they state that the Cooler Master products does contain some Shin Etsu thermal compound, but it is not 100% Shin Etsu in formulation. Also there are more evaporative...
I agree 100%!
This is what I've found, performance is very close and is variable. Apllication is one of the most important factors.
I like Shin Etsu because it is electrically neutral, easier to clean up [ but not easier to apply ].
I think it is longer lasting, resists thermal...
I did notice that...but I don't think that that price is available to everyone. If so then Arctic Silver AS5 is much less expensive to make than Shin Etsu...since I buy Shin Etsu in large quantities to get the lowest wholesale price and AS5 at 50 cents per gram is almost 90% cheaper.
So...
Based on that, the cost is not similar...since I can cover 10 to 12 CPU's with 1 gram of Shin Etsu that costs $6.33. or 63 cents per application.
SVC.com sells AS5 for $5.99 with free shipping so you could get 17.5 applications at 200 mg / application or 34 cents per application
The source on the Coolermaster use of Shin Etsu is Shin Etsu Micro Si. They know who they sell to and they have analyzed the compound.
I'm not trying to be a salesman...just contributing to the thread. If you looked at my income from work and my real business versus my 'profit' on selling...
I think by weight you use more AS5 per application...so cost is probably similar.
Ceramique is the real bargain if you buy a large tube...but unless I was doing assembly line work I can't see where the expense matters.
I agree! AMD is using either Shin Etsu G751, X23-7762 or X23-7783D. or Lord thermoset, or Bergquist thermal compound.
Every processor I've seen looked like AMD applied Shin Etsu X23-7783D.
CoolerMaster compound contains ~some~ Shin Etsu....but they are merely buying some Shin Etsu and mixing into their formula. While not a bad product, it does not compare to top performance of Arctic Silver AS5 or Shin Etsu X23-7783D.
I sell 100% pure Shin etsu X23-7783D compound direct from...
