Thremal Compound Roundup February 2012

If you were ever curious on how your thermal compound compares to the others out there, Hardware Secrets has done an excellent write up.

Following up on our Thermal Compound Roundup - January 2012 review, we are adding five more thermal compounds to our roundup, for a total of 65 different models from Akasa, Antec, Arctic Cooling, Arctic Silver, Biostar, Connectland, Coollaboratory, Cooler Master, Coolink, Deepcool, Dow Corning, Enermax, Evercool, EVGA, Gelid, Glacialstars, Innovation Cooling, Masscool, Nanoxia, Nexus, Noctua, Phobya, Prolimatech, Scythe, Shin-Etsu, Spire, StarTech, Revoltec, Rosewill, Thermalright, Thermaltake, TIM Consultants, Titan, Tuniq, Xigmatek, Zalman, and ZEROtherm. In this review, we will determine if certain products are superior to others. We will also try another alternative thermal compound to see if it works.

While it is great to see the temperature differences of each of the compounds, Hardware Secrets takes it one step further and adds some non thermal compounds like chocolate to give you an idea of why you might want to spend the extra money to get a good thermal compound.
