Thermal paste comparison




With the Super Mega, we found that Prolimatech’s PK-1 to perform better than Thermalright’s ChillFactor III. Here we observe the opposite to be true. It highlights the inconsistency of thermal compounds, especially when they are from different tubes.

Northbridge and motherboard temperatures

Having recorded the northbridge and motherboard temperatures for both the Prolimatech Genesis and Noctua NH-D14, no difference was observed despite the former having a down-draft component. The reason may be that the horizontal radiator is too far offset from the CPU socket area on the Rampage III Extreme. The MOSFETs are on the opposite side of the CPU where airflow generated by the Genesis cannot reach.
