Thermal Paste Showdown - AS5 Vs PK-3 Vs Liquid Pro

2013-08-03
hey YouTube welcome back to tech as it is Brandis coming back to you guys today with a comparison of thermal pace so when I did my deal eating video those all those months ago people were like Brian Arctic silver 5 is crap you got to get some cooler Bora Tory's liquid pro on that crown that biatch so I did I went out and bought some collaborators liquid pro and I did put it on that biatch and I got some results I also decided to test PK 3 which is prolimatech its latest and greatest so I test I'm gonna be testing these three and I'm going to be putting them all head-to-head so let's get on with the results the first test I did here was on my water cooler so as you guys know this died but before it died I did manage to get some results out and the reason why I didn't post these results early is because it pretty much died the next day after I put the Coolibar is liquid pron so I knew maybe for accuracy purposes I shouldn't post these results until I get another cooler and test so anyway this is a results I got here as you can see here with the lid it with the Arctic silver 5 first up it produced a 74 degrees max temperature these are all done in prime95 large FFTs for max temperature all at 25 degrees ambient and at 4.2 g's at one point one two volts for consistency purposes now the it is important to note that there will be like a one degree variance because the fact that you know when it got to 25 degrees or if it got hotter I'd turn on my air cond to get it down to 25 degrees and the fact that my temperature reader only reads to 1 degree Celsius so there will be an ever so slight amount of variance in area temps the next so the first test I did was when I deleted it and that was 67 degrees that was when I deleted my chip and I put artic silver on the base and on the heat spreader on the core and the heat spreader the next test I did was the peak a3 when I got that in I put that on the core and I put that on the heat spreader and that produced a 66 degree result the next tester when I got the cooler boria's liquid Pro I decided to put that on the core and on the heat spreader I was just like hell yeah if this thing is going to make a difference I want to see it and I got 64 degrees but it's important to note I notice at this time in the first two minutes of running the bench so these are all six-minute benchmarks in prime95 it was important to note in the first two two minutes of this benchmark I knew that qu laboratory's liquid pro was legit I knew it was a product that worked because I could see that my temps were sort of staying under sixty degrees and I think it was at this time that much cooler was actually starting to shoot itself so the next day yeah you know my radiator just went so hot and that that being that but let's get on to the Animax T for T now this produced more solid and in my opinion a lot more consistent results than the water cooler did because of the fact that it's air cooler you've only got a fan and banette core so the arctic silver v on the core and the heat spread produced a result of 68 degrees the PK 3 on the core and the heat spread that produced a 67 degree result and the cooler Bertos liquid pearl on the core and then PK 3 this time on the heat spreader because you know this stuff is expensive and I'm running out and I want to save some of it reduce the 63 degree results so I'm going to say let's so these results are what I have and let's move on to the conclusion now okay so in conclusion I will say that cooler boys liquid Pro this stuff is legit it works especially when you saw the anti max T 40 results they were very accurate and consistent so this stuff is legit it does work thanks for recommending me this stuff however is I will say that it's goddamn expensive at $27 a tube of this stuff for 0.15 mil it is hella expensive it also is a pain in the ass to spread I didn't really enjoy spreading this stuff and also another thing to remember about it is it is highly conductive and it is highly capacitive however someone was saying like you can get for $10 a tube please let me know in the comments where you can get this stuff for $10 a tube I'd love to know that makes that arctic silver 5 this stuff is absolutely fine it's not it works it's very good value for money 3.5 grams for like $8.00 it definitely takes the out of these three thermal paste it takes the value for money crown but um pk3 this is the last one and I will say this stuff this stuff is really good I loved spreading this stuff this was the easiest to spread out of all three it was just amazing to work with you know it was like spreading a virgin you know is that good it's non-conductive it's non capacitive so if you have berserker hands this stuff is for you and you drop stuff everywhere this stuff will be really good it does work really well so in conclusion I will say that yeah all three of these pastes all three of these pastes are really good in their own right none of them are you know and I think you know thermal the reason why yeah as you guys you know people were saying before the reason why Coolibar toys liquor Pro works well on the core is because it has such high thermal conductivity so it is legit and it does you know deliver on its thermal conductivity claims you know the core is so small so its needs that high you know sensitive thermal paste to work properly but you know there are people out there that is saying like you know I'm getting like a 15 degree drop a 20 degree drop and I'm you know I question these people are you trying like you trained properly are you spreading your paste properly or you just play you know just slapping this stuff on and just like dropping it on and going yeah let the liquid pro do all the work because you know if you apply your thermal paste properly you know essentially what thermal paste does is it just fills in imperfections it's not meant to be like a you know a block it's meant to be like a piece that fills in gaps so that's why my results aren't as great you know artists I don't think there is different as someone else but you know I saw in the forum I was reading up about uh some guy getting a 30 degree drop and then like the variance between these causes like 10 degrees that in my opinion is a clear indicator of bad conduct bad contact so you know if you're getting such huge degrees in in your cause I question you as to are you kind you know are you installing your heat sink properly so that's a very important part is getting a thin layer of this stuff on and then getting a nice making sure your surfaces are all flat as can be and if they're concave door if they're really off then go send them back go Lapham don't be afraid to do that so but as we'll say that you know the heat spreader and the core they're really they're pretty much getting really flush and a lot of heat sinks coming out nowadays are really flush so there should be you know you guys should be getting really consistent results without it with any pace that any decent thermal pace that you use so anyways I hope in conclusion you like this please give it a thumbs up if you did and if you have any questions or comments please come in the comment section below and if you haven't ready subscribe to tech LCD well be coming back to you guys with some more tech videos so ultimately yet cooler porridges liquid pro on the core that's a good recommendation you guys peace out for now we're an easy play
