    completely wrong way to measure this. they just looked at how intel suggests coolers should be qualified (qualify == keeps the system stable != scientific measurement)

    only one application per thermal paste? or did i miss something?

    a $60 multimeter to measure temperature? wtflol. that meter has an accuracy of +-1°C

    "Ambient temperature will be kept at 25C for the duration of the tests and measured with a MicroTemp EXP non-contact infrared thermometer." - that meter has something like +-2° accuracy...

    total that's +-3°C .. as a result those charts are pretty worthless since all pastes are within 3°C of each other.

    great review. pick 6 pastes, roll dice, less work. if you have no idea how to review something, stay away from it.
