Yeah, those are my temps without even an hour of seating in time.
Ive been a fan of AS Ceramique for over 5 years. Its easy to work with, batches are consistant and a little goes a long way, and its very safe in that its non conductive. Also its cheaper than AS5.
From what Ive seen of AS5, it must vary greatly from batch to batch. Also its conductive, so care must be taken not to accidently get it in the wrong places. And AS5 should not be applied thickly or on concave surfaces, otherwise it dries into a dusty mortar like substance. :Q
Overall on reviews, they are both close. Some have AS5 as being thermally better, others have Ceramique as better. The last review I saw had Ceramique better for cpu's, and AS5 better for gpu's.
On another note, I just received my RMA to Seagate back. I sent them my head crashed 120gb drive and got back a 160gb drive. That was nice. :beer:
