Instrumedley posted:I tried out the first compound you mentioned (Arctic Silver) and it worked great. (Temps: 21 C idle, 51 C while under load). Thanks! Just to jump in on this, I build around 5-8 PC's per year for the past 5 years and I ended up giving this a go. Using so much of the stuff, it can get so expensive, but if you see yourself upgrading frequently in the future, I'd grab this- http://dx.com/p/stars-professional-thermal-compound-with-injection-tube-10-pack-13915 It kept temps on my H70 LOWER than AS5 (the AS5 was around 6 months old), and this cheap stuff is fine although the changing seasons may cloud my immediate judgement as I change components alot, but the CPU cooler hasn't budged for a year at least. I don't see myself buying anymore thermal paste for a while and I chucked a few to friends for a euro each and that's made up the price already.

Sorry but I burned through like 200 posts in the past few days, did I read that we can't use a secondary Nvidia card as dedicated PhysX anymore? Sure I remember reading something like that, as I just stumbled upon the card an hour ago. Currently running a 7950, but I do miss the PhysX effects

GrizzlyCow posted:No. The hack that allowed users to use both an AMD card (like the Radeon HD 7950 Boost) with a NVIDIA card for PhysX (like the GTX 560 Ti Boost) is not well maintained any more. The alternative is maintained; use at your own risk. Yeah gently caress that, I'll just go for a GTX in a few months, only reason i got this is because it was a pricing error with 3 free games. Cheers
