EVGA Frostbite Thermal Grease

[xmanrigger]

Has any body used this stuff yet and can give an opinion to whether it is any good or not?

Thanks

It will take some time and testing to find out...

I believe this (TIM) is optimised for sub zero applications so normal (sane) users may see little benefit.

That was my take from their marketing BS too...



Personally, I'll wait until someone other than the manufacturer or some shill gives this a fair and honest test....

every fanboy on their site will be using it soon, because that K1ngPin guy says so.

I'm using Artic Silver MX 2 and I'll stick with it until EVGA's TIM gets some solid test results.

I know I've said it befor, probably many times but: I loved me some MX-2 when I got it, but I love MX-4 even more when I got it. Haven't looked into this stuff yet.

i have some tubes here already for a month, just saw the tread here.

Using Ceramique for years now, and some OCZ Freeze also for benching.
For daily use i use normally Coolaboratory ultra and changed it now for Frostbite.

Must say :

against ceramique, damn it's good, get higher OC, better response with LN², better OC under Dice.

Ceramique goes in the garbage can.

Against Ultra (metal paste), it's also better for shure.

On my GTx580 was first Thermaright The chill factor and Ultra, changed it for Frostbite, and vga's are running 6°C cooler now idle and load.

frostbite is my new nr1 here in the house and will not use anything else anymore.

yes i know it's from Evga, but hey, it's really good guys.

EVGA doesn't make it. ;)

Be nice to find the OEM. It would be even nicer if it were sold in 10oz (caulk gun) tubes for big ass jobs! :D

As Evga says it's thermal conductivity is 6.5w/m-k this tube is 8w/m-k,
but at witch temp will this one freeze solid, and how perform ?

it's all marketing bullshit. underground no offense but, when u checked it against your other TIM's did you do more then one mount per test??? it is said when you are testing TIM you should do 3 mounts and use the best of the 3. ALSO you should not only test imediately, but also again in 2 hours, then 10 hours, then 24 due to different TIM's having different setup times, and so on and so fourth. That said, I have yet to see a TIM that makes more then a 2-3c difference since AS5 came out since then they are nearly all within 1-2c this may be better then ceramique for sub-zero, but for normal everyday water or air setups I'll believe it when I see REAL test results
