lab501 tests 38 Thermal Pastes (TIM)

Our own ChaosRainz pointed out that this isn’t exactly scientific because mounting methods always come into play.

The Romanian site lab501.com personally recommends the following TIM (thermal interface material):

  1. Arctic Cooling MX-2
  2. Gelid GC-1
  3. OCZ Freeze
  4. Noctua NT-H1
  5. ZEROtherm ZT100

And the full chart (edited by team BURR for readability)
