SUMMARY: For most of us who overclock our systems, Arctic Silver has been the only real contender for use as a Thermal Interface Material. The folks over at ESG Associates want to change that thought pattern, and have brought out a second rendition of their Nanotherm compound to try to make it a reality. But can Arctic Silver be bested, or even matched as far as effectiveness? Come join Mike "Darthtanion" Wright as he delves into this very question.
