AS5 vs. toothpaste vs. mustard vs. ketchup vs. Turnip rape oil

[Calmatory]

I will be testing around with different kinds of oils in few weeks, I think.

The variation between compounds (is that a right word?) might be possible to explain with the thickness of the layer. When the layer thickness halves, the thermal conductivity doubles, AFAIK. So, there is very small variation, and it might be caused by the thichness of the layer, at least it surely affects it.

Thats why I want to redo the test in nearby days, maybe even tomorrow.

The drying compounds can be mixed with some oil to make them last longer, though thermal conductivity is probably going to suffer. But it might be that with oil it is easier to apply and remove them. They are quite sticky, especially toothpaste. And the smell after mustard-run... Just don't try that at home.

I will be testing with overclocked CPU next time, so variation should be a tad bigger.

Edit: Completely forgot.. The CPU and HSF are lapped.
