There is almost zero real difference in the top 25+ TIMs including re-packaged stuff that some people pay outrageous prices for because they don't know any better. Your CPU/APU/GPU is not going to perform any better with a just couple degrees change in operating temp.

It's gotten to the point where many reviewers have stopped testing TIM because there really is no significant gains over existing top TIMs. You can buy adhesives and other coatings that might produce a few degrees lower temps than the best TIMs, but you can screw up a perfectly good CPU/APU/GPU with many of these coatings.

There is almost zero real difference ...

I expected something about EK's constant PR, what did you do to real Jorge?
