Installation

The TX-2 compound does not have a recommended installation method on the Tuniq website. The compound was applied in the same manner as the TX-1 (which was derived in the installation instructions for the Tuniq Tower heatsink), which is by applying the compound in a thin layer by spreading it with a razor blade. The TX-2 was easy to spread and easy to clean up.


On the other hand, the TX-1 compound was very difficult to spread and to get a consistent layer. It was also slightly more difficult to clean off the heatsink and the CPU heatspreader.
