Tuniq TX-2 Thermal Compound Review

**MIG-31** · Mar 2, 2008, 04:44 PM

In order for a CPU to function properly, it needs some sort of cooling. Likewise, in order for a CPU cooler to function properly, it needs some sort of cooling of its own. But how do we get the heat to transfer from one object to another? It's called thermal paste. Thermal paste is a material that connects two surfaces with a viscous compound, allowing heat to pass from one surface to another. Tuniq has release a new version of their thermal compound called TX-2 which replaces the TX-1. Back in 2005, the Tuniq Tower 120 came with the TX-1 thermal paste. Sadly, I don't own the Tower 120 or that computer anymore, so a true comparison can not be done here.
