Is anyone going to try this with any AMD processors? Just curious, Bailey.

If it comes in before my order from NCIX (which I just passed 30 minutes ago) I'll be able to compare it to AS5 currently on my Opteron 165 in my 900 with a TT Big Typhoon. :)
Else I have to retest everything (2 weeks for AS5 to cure) as I'm going to re-apply TIM when I swap my mobo. The environement will be an Antec SLk1650B, TT Big Typhoon.

I am going to test it on AMD X2 4400, AMD 3700, 2X AND MP 1200, and an Intel P4 520.

another thing... some dual cores like the PentiumDs have 2 cores under a single IHS... some 65nm quad cores have 2 dual cores under the IHS.. and in these cases simply spreading from center is not going to be optimum. Guess when a lot of us receive this stuff we will hear all different testing methods to see what works best in the real world.

hey screwball just a bit off topic, but when i put AS5 on, i went by their instructions to make a thin line smack in the middle of the processor (for dual core). they didnt say nething bout small grain of rice anymore =(

I said the same exact thing about 2 hours ago in a different thread concerning the Diamond 7 TIM, but it was deleted...

Yes, obviously some adjustment - Use commonsense, enough to get a good spread. Line or magic cross maybe more appropriate. Wing it as they say
