@acecombat

i dont think there is a clear winner actually... not to cucuk ur review or anything. but that one degree on idle doesnt mean it will be beter..... could have been a slight human error.. or just that extra too much paste.. or too little.. we may never know.. but solid review anyways..

yo bro,u r an overclocker,1c different makes some different,yes i do admit sometime is human error,that's why i took all the pic after the tim spreaded on the core to make sure most of them applied in almost same quantity.
anyway,where is my grill vmad.gif tongue.gif

thanks for ur compliment.

Seems to me that Tuniq Tx-2 is just as good as AC mx-2 from several review over the net including this one. Its cheaper too!. Anyone beg to differ?

i think generally the difference will come after curing and also when you overclock.. alot of thermal pasted designed these days now work well when u want to control the load temps ..

err, theres nothing wrong with a 1 degree difference when its a couple of joules involved, in energy terms. Its a lot of difference. I would think for now that the difference would solely rely on processor cooling. Having too much of paste or too little will not affect anything, maybe burn your board due to contact.. with the leakage.

I still give thumbs up for Acecombats review.

It doesn't cost a bomb because people don't take a real diamond and make it to dust for our thermal compound usage smile.gif They probably collect the diamond dusts which falls during cutting of diamonds. A tube is a few USD more expensive than AS5.

Could have told me earlier, have some Ceramique left over smile.gif and yes MX-2 takes some time to cure smile.gif but Tuniq works immediately, hmm..

If you enjoy modding and wanted to get the best out of everything, you can always give it a shot and try lapping biggrin.gif

I don't think anything is free and everything comes with a price. As I say, if one is interested in modding and an enthusiast, the few ringgit of sandpaper is not a lot compared to the success and satisfaction out of it.

well it does increase the efficiency of heat transfer having it lapped the right way. This sandpapers are dirt cheap( i buy it all the time) compared to the AC cleaners in the market. and also its the best way to have a smooth smooth surface.

I agree with uncle claw laugh.gif

i think there will be errors in any test or experiment, so basically i think the 1c difference couldnt make any difference as errors in measurements can be classified as:
Gross errors
Instrumental Errors
Environmental Errors
Observational Errors
So, @acecombat, i think if really wanted to test out accurately who is the winner, u need to control the ambient temperature, ur measuring sensors and so on... but i think it is impossible to get accurate temp as the onboard sensors also got some measurements errors, depends on its sensitivity, so i think the +-1c difference is acceptable la... but if 2c above then should be identical la, which is the best... best u can do is get 99% accurate measurements, but that will cost u to buy ur own high end temperature sensors. This is just my opinion, haha.... btw, good review there, make us know which thermalpaste to choose in future notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif
