Have you ever wondered if that expensive goop is better than the cheap white stuff you get when you buy a new CPU or heatsink? Well, Viper's Lair has put together a review that might surprise you...
"I've always found it odd when manufacturers claim a 5C+ improvement over other thermal compounds. In our last roundup back in February, we saw that wasn't the case. The only way I can possibly see that much of an improvement is if it's compared to the worst possible compound out there. This time around, although it isn't a 5C difference between the best and the worst, there is more of a gap."
