TESTING METHODOLOGY
Testing thermal pastes is something I haven't done in ages but since both readers and manufacturers asked, I will be using AID64 stress test and Cinebench R23 for a total of 20 minutes each to test each thermal paste under load (10 minute cool-down intervals). Needless to say, each time I applied a new thermal paste I use the system for at least 12 hours prior to starting tests (ambient temperature is set at 23-24 degrees Celsius).
