Heheheh thanks mga bro, diha ko sa ac/dc mingpalit P25 lang. I'm quite impressed by the result.

Overclocked Sempron 2500 to 1.9ghz

Idle: 38c
Load: 45c

Before (using the thermal pad from AMD's HSF)

Idle: 39c
Load: 49c

there are lots of drawbacks using a thermal paste.

1.) poor heat transfer
2.) poor heat transfer
3.) poor heat transfer
4.) and did i say that it has poor heat transfer?
5.) dries up and solidifies
6.) lasts about a year or less

I recommend you use Artic Silver 5 or Artic Cermaique

www.google.com is your friend on that
avg cost here in cebu for AS5 is about Php 500 MAX

grabe pod oi P500 vs P25 lang. unsa man pod ka dako sa difference sa temp kung ang tag P500 ang gamiton? kay so far ang mga video card ug processor gitaoran sa tag P25 ok raman.

Theres a whole new world of difference on the performance, gamay ra tingali if mo solti ko ug 5~15c, also you can have an application of those for just P50 some computer shops offer it at that price per application on the videocard / CPU.
Its pricy i know for 1 tube of silver compound, but i recommend you google about it.

Thanks for the info guys, it's a good discussion. However in my point of view I don't have to spend P500 Thermal Compound for a dirt cheap processor like Sempron 2500 (maybe this would be different if I had a Pentium D or Athlon processor), another factor is these processors are alot cooler in stock (or even overclocked). If I had to spend around P500 then I might buy a new HSF instead which is what I'm planning to do next. 38~45c is definitely a good temp for me and quite a reasonable expense.
