Tuniq TX-2 Thermal Compound Review
Performance »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.
The system being used to test the compounds is as follows:
| CPU: | Intel Core2Duo E6400 |
|---|---|
| Clock speed: | 8 x 266 MHz = 2.13 GHz |
| Motherboard: | Asus P5W DH Deluxe |
| Memory: | 2 x 1GB G.Skill F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK (DDR2-800) |
| Video Card: | Gigabyte nv6200TC PCI-e |
| Harddisk: | 36GB WD Raptor |
| Power Supply: | Thermaltake ToughPower 750W |
| Software: | Windows XP Pro SP2 |
