Thermal Performance

It’s important to note that all flowrate/pump setting/hydraulic power spectrum tests are done with Indigo Xtreme (has zero performance change over time, unlike any thermal paste) and then justified to the blocks’ MX-2 performance.

 

(*) TIM likely has a cure that might induce error in these results and will also likely have these results overestimating final performance.

 

Pressure Drop, Flowrate, and Restriction

Of note, “Restrictiveness” is a unitless metric measuring restriction and is effectively, not literally, an inverse of measured flowrate–lower means less restrictive. It’s a sum of pressure drop readings at the eight lowest pump settings we test.
