I have added several tests/pastes to the data tracker and Youtube channel since the last update. I am also sitting on 5 pastes I ordered from Aliexpress. I don’t think I will bother testing them, they are clearly all clones of each other. It would be good just to pad out the dataset with more samples but I would consider these as meme pastes
at this point.
What I was excited about testing Kingpin’s KPx, I also bought 2 boxes of be quiet!’s DC2 Pro liquid metal as last time I tried to get it into rotation I could not get it work. This time it worked extremely well. The trick is to use less than you think you need, and then cut that in half.
Without a doubt I am starting to get a couple of new favorites and I am running one of them on my i7-14700k and be quiet! Pure Loop 2 280mm AIO cooler. This is Halnziye HY-P11, there is something very middle of the pack with this paste. Its good at light load, heavy load with a large thermal area. Its good at small areas and low/high heat, very middle of the pack which is what you want in a paste. Predictability is king here. These thermal interfaces are not as straight forward as I want them to be. The ratings (11W/mK for example) are completely unusable and in some cases probably 100% fabricated. What the paste get’s applied to changes the outcome greatly as well.
As of 10-19-2024 I would use these two as my GO TO WAR pastes:
Upsiren LMTG-100 – Use on GPU dies 10/10 times
Halnziye HY-P11 – Use on CPU IHS
If you are de-lidding then you are probably already well versed in what thermal interfaces to use. But stacking liquid metal between the die and IHS, then either of the above 2 between the IHS and cooler would work extremely well. I have also ordered a Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet (which I have tested before, it’s gonna be in the upper end of performance) and some Kryonaut Extreme which I have never used. After this I have some Fehonda paste coming in from China, then I think I will be out of pastes to test until a new and exciting product comes out.
I may move to more IHS/CPU testing as this is a completely different game and target for cooling.
Here are the latest results, the graphs and getting very unwieldy.
