Battle of the Goop - Thermal Paste Comparison

@ 2006/08/05

Today we take a look at 4 of the top thermal interface compounds from Arctic Silver, Shin-Etsu and Coollaboratory to find out if there are benefits to be had by switching your goop!

Quite a difference, but not worth switching out your thermal paste for imho; if your CPU needs to be 5°C "cooler" in order to work correctly, something else is up. If however you are building a new system, that Coollaboraty Liquid Pro does look interesting; anybody seen tests on how it does over time? Would it evaporize/harden/... ?

I've seen testing where MX-1 was able to beat AS5 by a few degrees.

MX1 has the bonuses of being non-conudctive and non-capacitve, easier to apply, ok for aluminium parts and it hardens out so it remains good for years.
