Improved performance with Cooler Master Hyper 412s? Antec Formula 7 OR, Arctic MX-4?
Improved performance with Cooler Master Hyper 412s? Antec Formula 7 OR, Arctic MX-4?
I don't understand why it's so important... I use a thermalright mux-120 with whatever paste I have, and I never experience those extreme temperatures others do.
Also, heat pipes or not, there are cracks. That's a bad design.
New Wolf7 suggests the cooling system on the MX-4 is improved.
The reason? It’s a more thoughtfully designed product. The chart I shared originally included both of these TIMs. The tester who conducted the work put in great effort to ensure solid outcomes, so you can review his approach here:

Even though it mentions 2015, those items haven’t changed and won’t anymore.

Your comment is sweet,
You're correct about heat sink designs too. Cracks between heat pipes are the main issue.
Even with access to coolaboratory materials, avoid using liquid metal on a Hyper 212 evo. It contains copper pipes within an aluminum block, and the liquid metal could severely damage the aluminum. This has been noted. I won't use liquid metal pastes either; my cooler is a Hyper 412, not a Hyper 212 Evo. I'm aware it has an aluminum plate beneath the copper heat pipes.
