OCAddiction takes 3 of the more popular brands of CPU thermal paste to see what type of performance you can expect from each. If you’re serious about your system’s performance, you definitely want to be serious about what type of thermal interface you’re using.

It is good to know that the Ultra II is not electrically conductive. This makes it safe to spread over video card GPUs and Northbridge chips. It would be dangerous to spread conductive paste over video cards GPUs and Northbridge chips because if even just a tad amount touches electrical bridges, shortage will occur. This has happened to me before. I was lucky my video card didn't end up cooked.

please take into account various differences when using 3 different motherboards, 3 different CPU's and 3 different HSF's.
... so what was used as a base line? :confused:
