Hey how many of you that have the Zalman 9500 at used the thermal grease or did you use the Artic silver instead?

i used it temporarily until my AS5 got here. Temps with the zalman stuff were a few degrees higher, but nothing to be alarmed about

I am using the 9500 on my gaming rigg. In my experience with the various thermal pastes. I have used alot of them. The paste that ships with the zalman 9500 is no different temperature wise than the AS5 or other quality thermal pastes!

** others might see a slight difference! I saw no difference. I have compared many different pastes!**

I used AS5, I doubt it matters, Just happened to have some AS5 left over from a previous build.

I am still using AS2. When I eventually run out I will get some AS5. I have the 9500 as well and doubt it makes that much of a difference.

I had a tube of AS3 sitting around with a little left so I used that. I figured why open the new stuff until the old is gone?

AS5 for sure.
