| Copper Grease Everyone should buy a tub of this stuff. It's cheap and I'm sure very comparable to that arctic silver stuff. I got mine from a bike and car shop. http://www.lizardloop.pwp.blueyonder...s/copgre/1.jpg http://www.lizardloop.pwp.blueyonder...s/copgre/2.jpg http://www.lizardloop.pwp.blueyonder...s/copgre/3.jpg Only problem is the stuff stinks and doesnt wash off anything, so dont spill it.

| You apply copper grease to the backside of brake pads to reduce brake squeal. It's basically high temperature grease with copper particles. I don't know how large the copper particles are in the particular grease loop is using. I suspect that under high loading from a tight heatsink, there might be a risk of the copper particles overstressing the silicon and causing it to crack. Loop, I'd do some comparisons with another thermal grease and see how they come out. I have a sneaking suspicious that if you have a lapped heatsink, then the copper might actually put the heatsink further away than a thin layer of thermal grease. AidanII

| Been using copper grease for some time now (maybe about 8 months) on all types of heatsinks and water blocks, never had any problems yet.

| Loop, can you do a test with standard thermal grease as well? (The white stuff, given it performs pretty much as well as ASIII) AidanII

| I've used thermal pad as well I'm not saying it performs any better, its just cheap and seems to work well.
