Arctic Silver 5 or Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra on G73jh

Hello everyone , i was thinking to repaste my g73jh as i am getting pretty high temperatures even with the fans running at FULL RPM because i am using DELL'S 5870M with stock clocks !..below are my temperatures:
i720m stock
idle:50-55
load:70-80
Dell's 5870m
idle:50:55 running at 300/400
load:90-110 (which is very high i know lol )running at 700/100
Sadly i cannot have IC DIAMOND 7 in my country so i am kind of stucked with only these 2 thermal pastes !
ARCTIC SILVER 5 : of which i heard is easy to paste and remove and perfomance is good too.
Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra: Of which i have searched alot and have found that it is difficult to remove once installed but it outperforms IC Diamond 7 and Arctic Silver 5 too and needs to be pasted with great care as it is kind of conductive to other components on board ...So people ! suggestion please !

I have used a silver compound which worked well but needed repasting after a year. With the icd7 I pasted over two years ago and still working as well as initially. Why not get a tube of icd7 shipped to you?

Otherwise I'd use the silver one, after all, a year is probably enough! I run my Asus 5870 at 825/1000 and stays under 80c at load or furmark. Idle is around 50c. Ambient 20c.

Liquid ultra... I can't use other paste on my [email protected]. All other paste is useless. Learn to use it and you don't need to reapply again. I have used Liquid ultra now over 1.5 year with no increase in temperature. If you don't dare to use it then you should use Ic7 or Gelid extreme.

 

woah thats great btw i can get the IC Diamond 7 from aliexpress.com but there is only one dealer who is selling that product and for 30USD which i guess is pretty expensive than the arctic silver 5 that i am getting from my country in about 15 usd and with no wait of shipment (less than 3 hours)

 

it can be applied on gpu too right ? btw how it can be removed if required ? i can get arctic silver 5 for around 15$ and cool laboratory for around 19$ ... so i guess cool laboratoy should be applied?? as i dont want to open my laptop again and again for the repaste and please share ur method of application of coollaboratory liquid ultra thanks !

You can fine use it on gpu, but be a little careful not to spill.
Cleaned like any other paste on the processor die. You may need to refurbish a little with very fine sandpaper on heasink before a new application, but not necessary if you continue to use Liquid ultra.

ahaan cool ! thanks for the reply mate um surely gona buy CLU now and will post my results soon um now looking for thermal heatsink pads which i cannot find in my country :s

 

If they are not damaged so are those orginal very good.
Maybe Amazon or Ebay... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...l+pad+.TRS0&_nkw=Phobya+Thermal+pad+&_sacat=0
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_89_4?fst=asff&rh=i:aps,k:thermal+pads,p_89hobya&keywords=thermal+pads&ie=UTF8&qid=1440893385&rnid=2528832011

 

the biggest issue is that in my country there is no EBAY or AMAZON and secondly i bought a used dell 5870m and fitted it in my asus g73jh all works perfect except the fans are at full rpm ! and my old dead gpu's thermal pad were not that good they mixed up and i made a ball and threw it lol ! the used one is also not having thermal pads on it and thats the reason my gpu's mem I/O temp spikes 100+ except the other 2 gpu temps at full load !

 

So Finally i went for CLU and applied it on my cpu and Gpu and OH GOD !! What a difference ! now the cpu is at 45-50 idle and max 65-68 at full load ! whereas the GPU is idle at 48-50 and under full load it is at 63-64 where as the I/O sensor it at 80-85 max now ! actually i didnt had any thermal pad so i had to use the old ones which were kind of worn out but still i didnt had any other choice ! will buy soon from aliexpress.com but seriously guys CLU is simply awesome !!!

 

We know

 

Any that look reasonable will do the job, mostly being the right height is the most important thing.

 

sorry but didnt get you ! are u talking about the space between the cpu/gpu and the heatsink ?

 

The thermal pads, you want them to be exactly the gap between the chip and heatsink, that is the important factor, getting the right thickness rather than splashing out on fujipoly pads and the like.

 

oh yeah right ! actually i am unable to get the pads yet but soon will get them from aliexpress.com and will fit the new pads and will notice the vrms temps

 

Shaving off even 0.5mm can make a big difference.

 

ahan thanks for the suggestion will buy 0.5 ones soon

 

THAT HUGE! Thermal speaking that would be a massive improvement.

 

On the topic of snake oil pastes, I say go with cheapo Ceramique 2

 

To be honest the right paste can come down to the heatsink itself, the fit and pressure.

 

Arctic Silver works well enough and you don't run into as much hassle if you don't want to deal with such later on.
