Thermal grease test – Joe
SUMMARY: A well performing thermal grease.
The good guys at TherMax Tech were nice enough to send a sample of their thermal grease, XtFlux – GA to try out. This is a non-metallic, silicone oil based thermal grease.
The Test
I tested TherMax XtFlux – GA on the CPU die tester using a Glaciator Lite for the heatsink; the results shown below were after 24 hours and a number of thermal cycles:
| Thermal Grease | Die Temp | Ambient Temp | Delta | C/W |
| TherMax Tech XtFlux – GA | 43.8 | 20.7 | 23.1 | 0.33 |
Based on tests I did recently, These results place TherMax Tech XtFlux – GA in the same ballpark as Arctic Silver 5 – not bad company to be in.
CONCLUSIONS
TherMax Tech XtFlux – GA looks like a decent performing thermal grease; depending on pricing, could be a good buy.
Thanks again to TherMax Tech for sending this our way.
