I imagine it has a lot to do with HOW you apply it too. Different manufacturers have different guides on how to apply. Some ask you to paint your CPU, some ask for a dot, some ask for you to use a business card (Coolermaster supply a plastic card from memory) So if you have one particular method in mind, then it might not be the method recommended by that manufacturer Course, if the manufacturer doesn't specify any thing, then the pea method is probably the one to go for! And a line for laptop CPU's

I wonder if IC Diamond would do that? ie: crystallise in two-three years. Can't see that one doing so, but of course it does cost more, and yah with AC 5, it is conductive cos of the silver content! Never used silver ceramique I use arcticlean over alcohol tho!

Tbh with ya, Im like that too, but that's because Im a laptop person. Tell a lie, I don't really game, and I like the Intel NUC desktops or the Asus equivalents for barebone kits, however the issue I have then is "Why have two devices?" Because Id always want to take my PC with me. Slight tangent! Any way, I want as cool as possible, because a laptop that has a cool CPU, means a cooler laptop overall, because of the proximity of the components! Also, back when I had a desktop, I figured that the cooler the CPU, the less the fan has to kick in (And the stock fan was barely operational, but that's probably cos it was an "e" CPU ie: an efficient one) And even in a desktop, there is the issue of heat! And lower temps on a laptop mean slower fans, less heat overall. Less heat overall means better battery life, and less power consumption!

I havent yet to use IC diamond 7, however it's meant to be one of the better ones, and unlike AS5, it's not conductive because...diamonds. Though it is abrasive apparently!

Hey! On my google travels, I originally found this: http://forum.techinferno.com/hp-business-class-notebooks/6691-installing-wireless-card-intel-ac-7260-hp-elitebook-8760w.html#post91214 And well it implied that there's no white list for the HP 8470p? And I thought I'd best ask on the HP forums, considering it's well a HP product!! I asked here: Re: Upgrade possible to Intel AC 7260 802.11ac Wi-Fi ? HP El... - HP Support Forum - 4999317 And that user says that there IS a white list? This is the laptop I bought: HP ELITE BOOK 8470P CORE i5 STILL IN HP WARRANTY TILL (20-11-2015 ) REF 42 | eBay The stuff I intend to upgrade/purchase in order to upgrade is here: HP Elitebook G1 or PC Specialist laptop? Or something else? | Page 2 | NotebookReview

Joined here as I've got a little query. I'll pop it in the correct section and stuff, but hey!
