Thermal Paste Shootout : Review

Quote: A thermal paste shootout is something that takes a lot of time and effort to do correctly. I've tried my best to obtain the most accurate measurements possible given the timeframe. Being a bit conservative, I estimated the testing in this review to take 2 weeks, compiling the results to take a few days, and the whole project to be done in less then 3 weeks. The reality was quite different. For example, I tried to keep the temperature within +/- 1C of the initial room temperature for all tests. Every time, the temperature deviated by more then 1C I redid the test. So each time the temperature changed I had to wait till it was back to normal before I could test again. It's too bad I don't have an air conditioner. I also obtained a few questionable results, so I reapplied the goo. This resulted in better readings. All in all, I've learned from my mistakes along the way. The final results are, I hope, quite accurate and I believe they will be of much use to readers.
