I generally don't make it a habit to twist my heavy, backplate bolted cpu cooler.

Ofc not...but some ppl have kids...and sometimes balls hit the comp...or just moving a comp with a heavy CPU cooler can do it...as I've said 100 times at least....slow wit....AS5 is old news...not as good as the newer products.

Name something with a significant advantage. Grease with less thermal conductivity is a fail on that try.

You need themal paste. That alone will drop your temps a lot.

80 degrees is way hotter than it should be for a non-overclocked chip. Not into the dangerous level yet, and you can still use it as long as it doesn't get much hotter, but for the love of your chip get some thermal paste immediately.

grease has the same if not better thermal capacity as do the older...drying compounds...the main advantage to grease...is like I've repeated...oh 10 times so far...it way outlasts the drying thermal compounds...it doesn't crack...when comp or cooler is jostled by accident....it's 100 times easier to remove.

Grow up bro...quit arguing just to argue....ur 0 for 2 today :/

The only issue with jostling is when you have some shitty stock cooler or a push pin based POS. Arctic is better, so are a few more on your list. Not by much, but it is. And you're the one whose 0-2

bro...ur an idiot get used to it :/

You seem awfully mad, bro. Im shooting down your asinine argument time and again. No clear benefit whatsoever.

If my cpu cooler is moving around, there's a problem, BRO. Get that through your head that if it moves, its not making complete contact.

Not everyone has Intel CPU's....tard....AMD CPU's with some cooler brackets can move....and even with INTEL CPU's the weight of the Cooler is perpendicular to the plane of the mobo....just setting a comp down on a surface a tad too hard....will crack AS5....that's WHY the newer pastes are grease based....

You've been spamming post on this forums for about 3 months now....I can't even count the times you've blithely given bad info...time to take a serious look at ur lackadaisical responses to ppl with (to them) serious issues.

There's no point. You just don't get it. Go back to sleep old man.
