| Re: How often should I change the Thermal Paste? zalman paste isnt nearly as good as as5...i had to put some on my cpu just recently because my GF's cats ran off with my as5 tube. i found it, luckily... after i gutted the cat.  it is about 3-5* hotter than with as5. the newer version of orthos will stress both cpus at once and uses the same calculations as p95 (if i remember correctly), making it easier to use than p95. you shouldnt be able to do anything quickly running orthos, and really you shouldn't try...its likely to crash your computer.

  | Re: How often should I change the Thermal Paste? MX-1 or AS5. I don't want to bother dealing with the thermal paste that comes with your HSF.

| Re: How often should I change the Thermal Paste? I followed that same guide with the line down the middle and ran the cpu stock for 24 hours. Temps stayed put at 33,33,32,32. I know that's acceptable temps but I thought maybe I'd get better. I have all my case fans on Medium and the Tuniq on high. I'm giving it a few days though it takes time for the stuff to set in.

| Re: How often should I change the Thermal Paste? I'm around 35C idle / 51C load. What a lot of people don't really consider, with the G0, is that they can tolerate higher temperatures. I've seen people who normally run their's on 65C load. |
