    it was a default option with xoticpc. i would assume they would. this is what justin told me. "Arctic Silver is applied to the CPU and often times is also applied to the GPU."

    exactly. why apply to just the cpu when the gpu is just as if not more important? as a matter of fact, i feel more safe without arctic silver on an intel processor than i do a dedicated gpu processor.

    My CPUs get higher temps when gaming cpu intensive games. Actually the max CPU temp surpassed the max GPU temp : 80C vs 72C.

    Arctic Silver is the best thermal solution for anything actually... :).

    Not true....

    It fails to function in especially large gaps that need to be filled. Occasionally a problem with a few MXM swaps over at MXM upgrade.

    Of course. The same awesome people that make AS5 make some insanely good thermal pads that work nearly as well... ^.^' For just such occasions.


    That said. Other than that... Hell yes. I'm sure theres something that costs like 1000$ An oz thats better. But **** paying that.
