Tuniq TX-3 Thermal Paste Review

Posted by: Sahil Mannick (Helios1234) on: 06/29/2009 11:34 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Test Results
CPU at 2.66ghz



Here we see the TX-3 providing the best load temperatures along with its predecessor, the TX-2. Even at idle, it nets excellent results compared to its competitors.

CPU at 4.0ghz



At 4ghz, it is the undisputed leader with the best idle and load temperatures. The TX-2 follows closely behind.

CPU at 2.66ghz after 48 hours



After 48 hours, all the thermal pastes gave similar results with the TX-3 having the lowest idle delta value.

CPU at 4.0ghz after 48 hours



Finally here, although the TX-3 has an outstanding idle delta value, at load it trails behind the other thermal pastes. However the difference in performance relative to the other ones is not as significant as the previous 4.0ghz delta value.

Curing time


Although all the thermal pastes tested required no curing time, there were some slight improvement in temperatures over the 2 day period. The TX3 showed the largest drop in temperature.


Surprisingly however, at load, the TX-3 didn't perform as well as when it was first applied. It started out as the best performer but after 48 hours, it trailed the others. I'm not too sure why this happened considering the better idle temperatures. This could be merely discrepencies in the measurement which in this summer weather is very likely.
