| 719204 | 2008-11-10 08:28:00 | Anybody have the above product he/she is willing to share with me? I'm going to buy one if no one has a tube to share, and when I do buy one PM me to share the tube. One tube should allow up to 13 applications, so might as well share it rather than store it unused. |

| 719206 | 2008-11-11 02:24:00 | I was considering buying some for my stock heatsink - its it worth it? My CPU idles at about 55-60 degrees; would I get temperatures much lower than that with some Arctic silver? | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 719207 | 2008-11-11 02:28:00 | It should give you a 2-5C reduction in temp after about 200 hours of what they call 'break-in' period. You'll have to to turn the PC off from time to time to allow the paste to cool to room temp during that 200 hours. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 719208 | 2008-11-11 04:24:00 | I've found it true what Arctic Silver says about that "break in" period. Runs about 5 degrees hotter for a couple of weeks, then drops considerably. | Deane F (8204) | ||

| 719210 | 2008-11-12 23:46:00 | Yep, got it now. Anyone want to use it just PM me your address. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 719211 | 2008-11-13 00:43:00 | So it increased the temp for a while? How many hours approx did you leave the PC off do you think? Well, I turn my computer off every night, so it would have had plenty of opportunity of opportunity for cool down periods. |

After just a day I see that my idle temp has gone down to 28 with ambient temp of 25. I do have Arctic Freezer 7 Pro on it, but I don't know if an overclocked E6750 can keep that cool. |

I do have Arctic Freezer 7 Pro on it, but I don't know if an overclocked E6750 can keep that cool. I have stock cooling on an E6750 clocked to 3.2 GHz - sits around 41 under load - gets up to about 48 on Orthos Prime. Never been a problem. The sensors are digital on the Core 2 Duos and are placed differently in the die than has been usual for CPUs so they tend to read as running quite cool - I think a true temp is around what the CPU is telling you plus 15 degrees C. |
