This review is from: Arctic Silver CMQ2-25G Céramique 2 Tri-Linear Ceramic Thermal Compound
Pros:
There is plenty of it to go around. 25 grams is good for approximately 200 square inches.
Non-capacitive and non-conductive.
It works and lasts a long time.
Cons:
Can be a bit messy.
Slightly more viscous and harder to spread than other thermal compounds, like Arctic Silver 5.
Overall Review:
I bought a tube of this to apply onto my Core 2 Duo E7200 and Zalman CPNS9500 cooler since I planned on overclocking this thing.
On stock speeds (2.53 GHz), I was idling at about 29-30°C and hitting no more than 37°C under load, even without break-in. Now I'm running at 3.16 GHz, idling at 30-32°C, and hitting 40°C max under load with median 35°C.
Still have yet to break it in since it takes about 25 hours of use, but all temps will probably drop about a centigrade once things finally settle.
