Arctic Silver II deal

[dabuddha]

im curious but how do you guys put on your thermal grease?
i use my thumb and spread it around evenly
is that the proper way to do it?
btw nice find

 

[mrchan]

thumb is a bad idea, even if its clean there's dead skin and whatnot. i use a clean credit card.

 

[Midnight Rambler]

Clean single edge razor blade works good too.

 

[XRdirtHead]

Just picked some up...Thanks...

 

[dabuddha]

whoa i've been doing it wrong
ill try the credit card
afraid to take a blade to my cpu

 

[CarpeDeo]

I usually just fold a piece of paper a few times and use a folded edge. Easily disposable. (=

 

[Herbman]

Picked a tube up thanks for the link

 

[darth_beavis]

Even better deal: find a friend who's bought a lifetime supply of it (That would be one tube) and borrow a dab.

You might also use plastic wrap around your finger to apply it.

Just buying some adhesive and thermal paste now!

Love this part of the description:
Important Precautions:

Don't eat it.

Don't squirt it in your eye, nose, ear, or any other accessible body orifice.

Don't give it to children or leave it laying around where kids can get a hold of it.

Don't smoke it.

Clean either Part A or Part B off your skin with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.

Do not glue things where they do not belong.

For what it's worth, some friends and I have ordered items from
everythingconnected.com and the service (and merchandise) was
excellent. We've ordered a few tubes of Arctic Silver, a few
heat sinks, and one case. That was through 3 seperate orders
spanning over about 3 weeks.

Hey all,

Nice find on the ASII. Are HighspeedPC's pricing for rounded cables any good?

$17.99 for 18" 2 device

I bought some arctic silver and niko case from everythingconnected.com and it all went very well.
No problems, and service was wonderful. I e-mailed a question, and I got a response within an hour.

I'm very happy with what I got from everythingconnected. I'll probably order a new CPU fan from them after I get paid next...

woo hoo cool! looking for something like this! =)

 

[CanisEstInVia]

coolness...I was fixing to buy some for 11bucks

edit: aw nuts, they dont take AMEX

 

[enginjon]

hey look my month old post has resurfaced Just to reiterate, I had a very good transaction with HighSpeedPC, best customer service I've seen online

 

[The Sauce]

To whoever asked about the Radio Smack stuff....three words: throw it out! That stuff is complete crapola. Even with the celerons that stuff would be dried and cracked under the cpu in a matter of weeks...and the new chips run much hotter. Get some good metal-based stuff and stay away from the silicone.

 

[echozero]

i got some good service from everythingconnected.com - i think for some reason they only accept paypal, but it got approved within the hour and they sent me an email confirmation.

3 grams of as2 just seems like not enough... ended up ordering the 6.5g of as original for 12 bucks... =)

 

[stingygrrl]

I'm also very happy with hishspeed PC. ordered and received within a couple of days.
I would order there again

 

[hoihtah]

i ordered me one. i hope it'll cool my cpu down a bit.

Just want to state that HighSpeedPC.com is one of the best sites I have dealt with EVAR! (directron.com is up there too). I got some rounded cables from them last week (after my homemade ones wouldn't let me boot ) and they look really nice when I sat them next to my electric taped ones. I have yet to run into a problem using them and plan on buying more and some AS2 this weekend.

 

[MoMoney]

Sweet, got some Artic Silver II for $8 shipped. Been thinking about those rounded cables. Any really good deals out there for rounded ATA100?

 

[yodayoda]

your best bet is Plycon.com. awesome selection of stuff, very professional, and they ship everything fedex at reasonable rates. take a look around the store, they have some hard-to-find stuff, like machined rounded SCSI cables and cheap handrounded 1 device floppy cables. btw, i don't work for them =P

 

[echozero]

cool, my as just shipped today... woohoo! =)
