Putting together a nice library I have another couple of WB that Gilgamesh has tested which I will add later. Getting great contact not as easy as you would think. Most WB have terrible contact. Koolance below is OK
I am not sold on the bowed sink concept as IHS contact profiles vary from concave, convex, or some combination of the two and to match the varity of IHS profiles you are not going to get many ideal contact situations perhaps only 20% of the time, flat will trump bowed when faced with a spectrum of profiles with contact as a priority.
This is from a survey we did over at OCUK. Poor C/P homongenizes the temps between compounds.
ThermalRightUltraExtreme120I thought this was an Interesting breakout of the numbers Delta' between compounds on the Water Cooling shrink considerably about 2C on the MX2 and MX3 and 2.75C on the MX4.
The only one cooler that bucked the trend was the Corsair and perhaps the EK block with better mounting schemes.
Below is a data sort of the test results The blue bars are air cooling all others are water cooling.
The Corsair results are marked in green and follow the usual distribution
