Barring any thing home made and AS5 what thermal compounds would you like to see TBCS review?

**Zephik** · 09-26-2009, 01:11 AM

Are céramique-based solutions out of the question?

Edit: I'd like to see...

TIM Consultants T-C Grease 0098
OCZ Technology Freeze

Those are supposed to be the highest of the high-end solutions. Then in second place there is...

Innovation Cooling Seven Carat Diamond
Arctic Silver 5
Zaward HSC-G

I'll personally attest the TIM Consultants stuff is good.

I wanna see some homemade stuff, though.

I'm all in for the homemade diamond powder in silicone. I would be willing to make a batch and send some in for review.

d_stilgar. Get with Kayin about that. He has a lot of good advice about powder sizes and how many variations in size would be best. If you make some you can send him some if you would like.

Keep the suggestions coming guys. Anything Arctic Silver is out as of right now. We would like to review some of the other brands out there.

Coolaboratory Liquid Metal Pro and LM pads.

MX-3, anything Shin-Etsu (my personal experience with them is very positive,) the TIM Consultants stuff, and I wanna see a real showdown versus white silicone grease. I want one with lapped coolers and CPUs, and contact patches-all that stuff. There's a lot of people who do not believe that TIMs matter (in fact, I know of a tech mod for a gaming forum who tells people not to worry about TIM, just get a big cooler) and this would go a long way towards dispelling the myth.

**Spawn-Inc** · 09-26-2009, 11:29 AM

I'd be less interested in a review of any one product than a comparison of a few common ones.

ZeroTherm's compound seems worthy.
