33-Ways TIM Comparison

Benchmark Reviews has seen a lot of products made for the purpose of delivering better performance. Some of these products exist for overclockers and enthusiasts, and often times help deliver performance out of otherwise tame hardware. Other products sometimes only deliver the empty marketing claim of improvements. Of all the products we have seen and tested, one particular category always stands out as the culprit for over-hyped promises: Thermal Interface Material (TIM). Of all the heatsink compounds and thermal pastes made and marketed, they must all only concentrate themselves to deliver the simple function of mating the CPU to the cooler with the highest thermal conductivity possible. Of course, some work better than others, and this is exactly what Benchmark Reviews intends to discover. Please join us for a comprehensive testing of 33 different TIM products.

In this 33-way Thermal Interface Material (TIM) performance test, we give equal attention to what could be the largest collection of heatsink grease, thermal paste, interface material, and thermal compound any test has ever seen in one comparison review article. The market is rife with fakes and wanna-be's, which is why it's our duty to ensure that only a very select few products receive the Benchmark Reviews seal of approval

I've read though that article a couple of times, in the end they fail to tell you which application method of TIM is the best and they fail to show any detailed temperature comparisons.

 

Old, very old. And for every TIM test you read, another one will tell you something else.
