EVGA Frostbite, Phobya HeGrease, and TIM Consultants Quantum Review
EVGA Frostbite, Phobya HeGrease, and TIM Consultants Quantum hit the testbed. One thoroughly impresses, another sets the benchmark for new best paste, and the last turns out to be a repeat of a lackluster paste.

Shin-Etsu's most popular varieties get tested on our TIM bench and we have some mixed results.
IC Perihelion, Noctua NT-H1, and OCZ Freeze Review

Thermalright Chill Factor, Chill Factor 2, and Chill Factor 3 hit the TIM testbed and we come away mostly impressed.
