Is Your Silver-based Thermal Paste Really Silver?

strider69666 writes "Over at Overclockers.com they have a review of several thermal compounds that claim to have 99% pure silver content. 'I decided to test Arctic Silver 5, Arctic Silver 3, OCZ Ultra II Premium Silver Compound, and CompUSA Silver Thermal Grease. This test was not conducted to test performance, but rather to determine if these compounds have Silver as an ingredient.' Using a professionally mixed testing solution, they found that several brands do not, in fact, contain any silver at all! So, are you getting what you are paying for?"

    False advertising is a crime! SUE SUE SUE! Mod me down and shoot me already.

    You sure you aren't from SCO? Oh wait, your accusations have some basis in truth...

    Think SCO will claim that the 0% silver pastes were their idea, and sue for it? (And of course lose.)

    Expect silver to SURGE to 5x to 100x its price with in 2-3years and gold too. Then the US$ will fall like a stone.

      Oi! Dumb ass!

      If you're gonna say your post is off topic, at least make sure it *is* off topic.

      Yours was perfectly on topic as far as I can tell!

      Do better next time!

    Let me guess... In your day they didn't have capital letters at the start of sentences, apostrophes, and were short on commas? At least you had sour grapes.
