AS Foiling

Butcher · 11-14-2001, 12:42 PM

I've heard that AS can foil under high pressure/low temp conditions (i.e. pelt setups), anyway to stop this, or a superior compound to use?

i've seen it happen on CPU cores before... Have not found a way to stop it.

Edit:
well it seems to happen much more if you don't apply the thermal paste best.

yeah I had it on a test pelt setup, guess I'm just stuck with it

I can confirm its foilage under low temps.

Just my .02

Maybe "Arctic Alumina" is the way to go?

Amdworld.co.uk seems to think it's OK. Not better than AS but still good.
