Stulid Tested all of OcUK Thermal Paste Range

[MrMoonX]

you know the IC Diamond stuff shouldn't be spread, its just a pea sized blob and the HS pushed down on it, maybe this effected the cooling??

He used the heat spread method.

Nice one stulid. My tube of MX-2 is 3 years old now and I've only used it once. My temps have stayed the same for those 3 years. A testament to it's high quality. It's so good I might eat some

Make sure to right a review on taste, texture and consistency. Remembring a 1-10 scale of how ill you were and how much it stuck your jaws together in large quantities. Oh and that your internal temps dropped 5C xD

Awesome work Stulid, that must have taken you a LOT of time to do!

Glad to see the MX-2 still holding its own. Have always recommended this paste over others in the past (though times change obviously)

Good work, really glad i went with the PK-1 now.

Taste - extremely bitter on it's own but when sugar is added it makes a nice alternative to marzipan.
Texture and consistency - Smooth and velvety on the tongue
10/10 - excellent vomit inducing properties when consuming a whole tube
10/10 - with just a rice size blob placed on my tongue, the seal it created with no spreading is very good, with no airpockets and a fully locked jaw.
I can confidently say that my core temps have dropped by 10c more than when I last consumed stock TIM.

Just ordered some Gelid Solutions GC-Extreme tonight from OcUK.

I should receive it on thursday.

I've used MX-2 and MX-4 for quite some time now one of the other things I love about it is the fact it's Non-Electrical Conductive so when doing things like replacing the TIM between a heat spreader and chip it's a lot safer

 

[IRLeetly]

Cheers for putting the time in sir, will be a good help when some new paste is needed.

 

[BaDBoY_uK]

^^Thanks for spending the time to do this

 

[jallan]

Did you give the liquid metal a poor "spread ability" factor because you didn't like it or because you found it harder than most pastes whilst using the wrong 'equipment'? I've seen it being applied and used it myself recently and found with a cotton bud it spreads easier than most pastes but you just need to be careful.

I don't mean to bash your review I just think if you gave it a low rating because you don't like the material itself you might be being a bit harsh.

I have AS5 and MX4 in my tool kit... I may now look at MX2 - cheers for the dedication

 

[ReekiTiki]

really great review. very useful indeed

 

[FunkyCowie]

Thank you for putting in the time for that, I am needing some new stuff as my AS5 ran out on my last case clean/refresh and was going to buy some more, 1 tube lasted about 8 years. When it comes down to it as a tube is less than a £10 to protect something that costs hundreds why get a cheap paste if its not as good as an expensive one?
