Yeah I didn't even try with the case standing up.

Update test result with Arctic MX-4:

Picture 1
Artic MX-4
Ambient Temp:20,1

Tomorrow I will conduct a overclocked test.

Cure times are 2 hours with OCCT LinX pack.

Will test these three compounds: (Picture one)
1. Antec Formula 7 Nano Diamond
2. IC Diamond
3. Arctic MX-4 (will test this tomorrow)

Test method:
1. Heat sink unmounted and cleaned with acetone and at last isopropyl-alcohol.
2. Take pressure test with pressure paper (Picture one)
3. Appy TIM (center dot)

LinX testing in diagnostic mode.

Ambient Temps 21C.

Contact Pressure testing with DT Sniper Water Block with IB 3570k.

DT SNIPER Block

Waiting on some new Tygon Tubing and a different back plate for my DT Sniper block and will test again for contact pressure with the paper and do another temp comparison.

Right now PK-1 and IC Diamond look close to the same in terms of thermal performance but the contact paper shows that I got a good mount.

Looks like the only color that my paper is revealing is a hot redish pink color. There has to be other colors that are missing.

t_ski · Aug 26, 2012, 12:06 PM

No, pink is all that should show. It's just how much pink is showing. Take a look at some of the other posts in the thread.

amount of 'pink' = pressure in the above chart note the pressure scale on side of each inprint, translate that to the dregree of pink

I saw that and it shows other colors. There has to be a color code for this paper. Pink is showing a certain amount of pressure. I'm sure there are other pieces of paper like this that pick up other pressures that would show a different color.

Opt33 at overclock.net stated that my contact pressure mount results are nearly perfect.

I'm going top turn the block 90 degrees so that the contact pressure marks are parallel with the cpu die.

Nice progression on the lapping - so what do you think of the paper?

Excelent product, showed just where to lap the Twin Frozr IV. Just goes to show that mass production of the coolers will always yield some that just arn't flat

. Going to order a sheet from SP to have around for client custom builds.
In the middle of a rebuild now, But going to try & do the CPU on the Game [specs] Rig later today.

Brusfantomet · Aug 27, 2012, 09:41 PM

Got the set with contact pressure paper today, the CP paper did not give any pink color tho, only different amounts of opaqueness, rather similar to sample 19A and 20A on the pressure test, but with a small speck about 0,5 cm2 in size at the center. will do some temp test tomorrow.

Edit: Here are the results:

AS5 idle: 38C 39C 40C 39C average: 39C
ICD idle: 35C 34C 36C 34C average: 35C
improvement: 4 degrees C

AS5 load: 71C 72C 70C 70C average: 70,75C (at 35 GFlops)
ICD load: 65C 66C 63C 64C average: 64,5C (at 35.5 GFlops)
improvement: 6,25C

pics for the different run.
thank you for the clearly superior TIM.

Sounds like maybe the sheets were not lined up right. Should be shiney side out for each.

Here is the sensor product manual for analyzing (roughly) your pressure results

Just ran some tests. Will update with results after the paste has cured. Will do a higher overclock aswell.
Might try applying some ICD on a 580 reference just for the heck of it.

About a 2-3 degree difference which was to be expected. The contact paper has shown that I have a great contact between the CPU and Cooler. This is one thing I was worrying about using this older cooler.

The contact paper has shown that I have a great contact between the CPU and Cooler. This is one thing I was worrying about using this older cooler. __________________ Cruncher's: All GPU's GPU's: 7970 3GB Unlocked = 8 Threads 5770 1GB OCed = 2 Threads
