Test Setup
As with all of our tests, we try to remain as clear and concise as possible to give the fairest results on every bit of hardware we review. Thermal paste is no different, hence we use the same system hardware and software benchmarks for all tests. This allows us to show exactly how a certain component performs. In this case; thermal paste.
It also gives us the ability to show a broad spectrum for comparison purposes which aids in making purchasing decisions.
We also make sure that a constant ambient temperature is held throughout testing to give the fairest results possible.
Our testing rig features the following components:
| Test System | |
