You need thermal compound to create a reliable transfer of heat from your computer's processor to its heatsink to keep your CPU from overheating. Tuniq TX-2 thermal compound does this with low thermal resistance and small molecular to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer. It's optimized for use between modern high-power CPUs and high-performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions.

This 3.5-gram tube contains enough compound to cover at least 15 to 25 small CPU cores, or 6 to 10 large CPU cores, or 2 to 5 heat plates.

Best stuff on the market IMO

Reviewed By: ImprtRcr on 7/27/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Very easy to apply and clean up. I have tested both Tuniq-TX2 and Artic Silver 5 on my Q6600 @ 3.6GHz 1.47 vcore. Thermalright 120 ULTRA w/120mm fan and the results were just as I expected.

I wanted to get my batch number off my processor but ran out of my trusty Tuniq-TX2. I had to buy some Artic Silver 5 locally.

I let the Artic Silver 5 cure for over 200 hours over a week's time and my full Prime95 load after 30 minutes failed several tests due to temperatures reaching 73c on almost all 4 cores!

I had to wait for the Tuniq stuff to come in. When I got it, I applied it and and my rig was stable again in Prime95 for hours with temps never going above 69c from the beginning. The ambient was at 72f for both occasions.

Of coarse there are other known brands such as Shin-Etsu, IC Diamond 7, Artic Silver 5 and AC MX-2, but Tuniq TX-2 is as good as those top brands. There is no curing time and in my opinion is the best stuff on the market.

Cons: They don't charge enough! :) j/k

Other Thoughts: Don't let the low price fool you, try a stick and test it out. I swear by this stuff and I will never again use anything other TIM except Tuniq-TX2!

Pros: Better then Artic Silver 5! Also is non-conducting. Gives me lower load temps of about 2-3C (Q6600@3.7Ghz). Easier to clean up too.

Cons: None other then neweggs shipping cost.

Other Thoughts: Probably not worth the trouble to change from a similar compound to this unless you are OC and or running a quad core. If you are building a new system, go for it.

Pros: The title says it all
