KY?Since Cheese has already been done we need another oddball this round! Maybe some elmers glue......
Great idea doing another TIM comparison! There are only a handful of viable ones done infrequently, to the point when the ubiquitous "what TIM should I use" questions arise, people often end up pointing to a comparison done several years back. Good idea avoiding "non-traditional, highly-fuckupable" products. Those TIMs are in a league of their own both with difficulty/complexity of install, electrical conductivity, and performance.
Seems like you have a good mix of products there. You've got AS5 and ShinEtsu, the best of the elder generation. A good selection of ArcticCooling , Tuniq , and Phobya solid performers. IC Diamond both "7" and "24" models, which have a long history too. Gelid GC Extreme and Prolimatech PK1 and PK3 are noted to be among the best of recent years, with ThermalGrizzly Kryonaut being the new champion last I checked; I'm curious to see if it defends its title and by how much. I'm curious about the Coollaboratory Liquid Copper, given that their previous product was a liquid metal in the "conductive and highly fuckupable" category, but it seems this one is a more traditional TIM. Looks like a good group!
So 7 karat and 24 karat? Thasa whole lotta diamond!!IC Diamond "7" and "24" are the same exact thing. The only difference is the quantities. Instead of measuring them in volume, they are measured in weight.

Plain old white TIM?Every experiment should have a control so how about including the plain old white silicone-based thermal grease that was used extensively before TIMs became more sophisticated? This would show how much TIMs have improved.
"Provides good electrical conductivity" maybe not...Instead of cheese, some Copper based anti-seize would be interesting.

Same caution required as with gallium/indium alloy based liquid metal based TIMs on the market. Naturally."Provides good electrical conductivity" maybe not...
oh right good pointSame caution required as with gallium/indium alloy based liquid metal based TIMs on the market. Naturally.

(Hopefully a lot!).
Yes, will be doing this as we always have.Every experiment should have a control so how about including the plain old white silicone-based thermal grease that was used extensively before TIMs became more sophisticated? This would show how much TIMs have improved.

Yes, intend on doing this as well. Not sure if it will make it through a load test or not.how about measuring without TIM as control point ?
(also, as persuasion: it can be found everywhere, it's not expensive, shipping is free and quick, and probably very easy to clean)
Well, if it was for sale in the US I would buy it, but it is not.You should try out the graphene paste. I've got a tube from these guys (it was a promo so I'm not sure if they still sell it in "consumer" sizes) and it's worked well for me. I haven't had enough time to test all the variables, but I did see a massive drop when I switched from my standard as5. I'd love to know if that was just improper mounting the first time, or if this stuff has merit.

Whats crazy is that it has been available since 2013 yet there isnt a single review.You should try out the graphene paste.

I need enough of it for it to be for sale in NA.doh.
There *was* a distributor here in the midwest. Didn't realize it isn't for sale anymore.
How much do you need for a test? I've easily got enough left for one or two more applications.
All of those I have been exposed to in my experience have basically been a joke. I have no interest in covering those. That said, they have been out for a couple years, and if they were as good as they say they are, I am sure we would have some evidence already.I'd be curious to see how high end thermal pads compare to typical paste TIMs. Fujipoly Thermal pads are available up to 17W/mK. Compared to silicone based grease TIMs at 5W/mK, going by these numbers, the thermal pad should outperform the silicone TIMs.

I just made a thread a few minutes ago asking if anyone had experience with this, but I suppose if it's added to the round up we'll get a real answer.
FYI, baby wipes clean CLU like a babies butt, no joke.
Btw, on the topic of ICD, have you seen the massive fail thread at TPU? It's glorious in its degree of ICD management fail.
Give baby wipes a try with CLU.
I would be very hesitant of that given those are designed to leave all sorts of things behind to control diaper rash and moisten the skin. I will stick with cleaning with an highly aromatic solvent.FYI, baby wipes clean CLU like a babies butt, no joke.
