Wrong. As long as you have the thermal pad that came with it, it's fine. Don't listen to those who come to conclusions too fast. That pad is actually better than AS5.

I wasn't having very good temps w/ the thermal pad the ACF7 came with, so I scraped it off (which was a ***** to do >.<) and applied some AS5. I got lower temps fairly quickly...although I probably just didn't have the HS/F seated properly the first time.

Arctic Freezer Pro 7 has an MX-1 Thermal Pad.. which if you look on my sig or stickies (i'm getting incredibly irritated by noobs who don't look at our stickies...) theres a comparison and MX-1 is pretty high on the list and pretty cheap too...... (for the pad)
