    Amd tell me that you shouldnt use thermal grease on the cpu becuase due to the higher running temps of amd chips it can dissapate after time.
    Arctic silver is a liquid substance aswell but but will it dissapate like termal grease :swt:
    Please only answer if you know for sure
    Thanks :good:

    Arctic Silver has a much lower dissipation rate than regular silicon, and Arctic Silver Ceramique is said to be even better. The only thing that will not dissipate at all are thermal interface pads, but they're like carbon-based stickers -- they don't actually do too well at conducting heat in the first place. You're better off with Arctic Silver.
