Tuniq TX3 is an amazing thermal compound, quite possibly the best out there right now, but it is also EXTREMELY difficult to work with. It was so thick/hard that i thought there was something wrong with the sample i tried. Its tricky, but once you get it to work, its awesome.

Bikey, being a senior member i expected a better reply from you. Your reply is not going to be of any help unless you expand on it a bit. You have in a subtle way mentioned what is good and what is not. For the sake of noobs and newbies alike, can you give the reasons for the same as well.
I asked in a earlier reply whether this (after-shave) was a safe method. Guys like you are in a far better position to answer these things man.
X method spreads the TIM more effectively then any other method.. but for coolers like Hyper 212 that have exposed Copper pipes, you might want to apply a bit on the pipes and then apply parallel lines of TIM on the heatsink and a small bb sized dot on the CPU...
With exposed heat pipes this works really well...

i used deshi dharu(home made alcohol to clean the surface.. works well and gives a superb shine!
works well and gives a superb shine!I've been using Artic Silver on my AMD Athlon and till date used only the dot method and then spreading it evenly using a visiting card Somehow the temperature is controlled for limited period and then the overheating starts all over again I guess I'm doing something wrong, can you guys please suggest what might be wrong?

[older athlon barton 32 and older]. Its risky to use AS5 on it. Get some metal oxide based TIMs like MX-2 or TX-2.
If its newer athlon 64, then it has similar base finish as todays PII/AII.
is it offensive to make alc urself in household

Haha.. now people are getting real creative....

From what I had read, Arctic Silver is supposed to get better with time. It has break-in time unlike the metal oxide ones like TX2. Donno whats going wrong with your system.

Very Simple. Change the TIM
hyeah:Truely I have never used AS. But CM Thermal fusion 400 and tuniq had worked very well for me , ofcourse while solving problems for others..:clap:
