The Best TIMs (Thermal Interface Materials aka compound or paste)

Thursday, June 26th, 2008
  1. TIM Consultants T-C Grease 0098 [aluminum oxide]
  2. Tuniq TX-2 [silicon oxide grease]
    This is what I use.
  3. OCZ Freeze [aluminum oxide]
  4. Arctic Cooling MX-2 [aluminum oxide]
  5. Noctua NT-H1 [silicon oxide grease]
    I’ve seen this one recommended for those who have a phase-change cooling solution, as the Tuniq stuff apparently will not work with it.
  6. Arctic Silver 5 [polysynthetic silver]
    The disadvantage of this one is the 200-hour curing period necessary before it will perform at its best (however, they say that even after the curing period, its performance isn’t any different). I used to use this one.
