| RTV copper silicone as thermal compound? |
| << < (4/4) |

I have provided thermal images of simultaneous tested 3 test samples of original msi gpu thermal pad, then silicone compound itself, then the sample with added aluminum. They are all 1mm think. Did you read the thread? seem not. |

The thermal images don't say much to me. It would depend on when they were taken, the temperature of the iron, etc. For instance, if they are all at the iron temperature then they could be made of cardboard for all the image is showing. I think you need some way of determining what it takes to keep the cold side some K below the hot side. Alternatively, timing how long it takes a large heatsink to get up to some specific temperature (obviously, the same hot/cold conditions for each test item). |

Iron temperature is 100C All samples placed at once, time taken is 15sec. |
