Christian Ney Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 My personal stock 200 pcs of GELID GC-Extreme Sorry for the poor quality pic Quote
K404 Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Look at all that wasted packaging I'm guessing you got a good price for them, else £9x200 = £1800 and on thermal paste, that's f***ing mental. Quote
Crew Turrican Posted September 18, 2012 Crew Posted September 18, 2012 if you have so many of them you could give me some for free. Quote
Christian Ney Posted September 18, 2012 Author Posted September 18, 2012 Massman will have the opportunity to ban me then, for selling backups Quote
l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 you are a beast Mr. Ney, that is a lifetime supply of dank TIM:D Quote
TaPaKaH Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 you have way way way too much money Quote
xxbassplayerxx Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Shit... it was hard for me to justify the price for two! Quote
sin0822 Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 holy crap, you have the entire stock of the US Quote
TaPaKaH Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 by chance, are these Andre's thermal pate binning rejects? Quote
zeneffect Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) holy crap, you have the entire stock of the US doubtful. if you read the packaging carefully, you will find its manufactured in the us, then shipped to Taiwan for packaging, then shipped back out. Pretty sure the OEM is Dow Corning, but what exact formula they use is anybody's guess... guess I will have to give them a call and give some TC-5026 a shot.

K404 Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) its manufactured in the us, then shipped to Taiwan for packaging, then shipped back out. Offtopic, but this is something that really bothers me about global trade. I don't understand how it can be cost efficient (especially in gas and diesel) to get stock into a shipping container, get it to a port, send it across an ocean, transport it to a factory, work on it, then do the same thing in reverse. ESPECIALLY when it's just the addition of a plastic and card sleeve that has almost zero material or skill value. I mean....REALLY. Edited September 19, 2012 by K404 Quote
TaPaKaH Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 if you work with really huge quantities, then additional cost/item is tiny Quote
Bobnova Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 It takes time though. $8/hour or more here in the US if you can find someone willing to do it that actually has legal papers. Far, far, far, far, far, far, far less over there. Plus over there your factory doesn't need all those pesky anti-pollution devices either. Quote
TaPaKaH Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 since we're a major consumer, may be overclockers need to write a petition to Gelid requesting them to offer GC-Extreme in 50g tubes without any additional fancy packaging? Quote

They apparently have a 30g package but I've never seen it for sale. Quote
Christian Ney Posted September 19, 2012 Author Posted September 19, 2012 They apparently have a 30g package but I've never seen it for sale. It is for sale, but the thing is that it's not a tube/syringe. And price/g is almost the same as the tube version. since we're a major consumer, may be overclockers need to write a petition to Gelid requesting them to offer GC-Extreme in 50g tubes without any additional fancy packaging? Nice idea actually, I will take with the CEO, maybe we will have the GC-Extreme OC-Version Quote

zeneffect Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Tell him we need "samples" to verify that it is indeed the very same stuff we are using now. Quote
topdog Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 10g for $20 anyone? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GELID-GC-EXTREME-10g-Big-Thermal-Paste-Compound-Grease-CPU-GPU-Chipset-Heatsink-/150854612713?pt=US_Thermal_Compounds_Supplies&hash=item231fa2b6e9 Quote
dumo Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) http://www.bergquistcompany.com/thermal_materials/hi_flow/hi-flow-TIC1000A.htm One of the oem, peeps can ask for samples. Edited September 19, 2012 by dumo Quote
zeneffect Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 sample requested. Dumo, do you know if they are the OEM for Gelid? Quote
dumo Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Not sure if its Gelid. Heres some of theirs... Both seems to be ok with ambient temp. More important it is not brittle or dry under subzero Quote
