GPU Tests

As I have already mentioned above, thermal interfaces were tested on the graphics card processor overclocked to 830 MHz:

The frequency lowered to 300 MHz and the voltage – to 1.1V in 2D mode. The table with detailed results and the diagram with average values follow:

It is interesting that the tests on a graphics processor changed a few things within the groups, but overall the picture remained the same. However, I have to draw your attention to a serious breakthrough demonstrated by Coollaboratory Liquid MetalPad that yielded only to liquid metal. It is certainly the result of impeccably even contact surfaces. The leaders are followed by a group of 9 highly efficient thermal compounds starting with OCZ Freezer Extreme and finishing with OCZ Ultra 5+ (by the way, the new thermal interface from OCZ is really better than the predecessor in this test session). And the last ones are still the solutions with liquid consistency including Arctic Cooling, SilMORE and Zalman ZM-STG1.
