Idle temperatures were taken running Windows and full loads were taken while running gaming loops. Temperatures (in degrees Celsius) were recorded.
Video Card Temperatures:
In the video card application, the GC-1 continued its strong performance, performing on-part with the Artic Silver 5. Still not bad performance at all, since the cooler that was being used is very efficient in its own right.
Conclusion:
I was impressed by the performance of the GELID GC-1 thermal compound, especially considering this is GELID’s first attempt at such a product. The compound delivers solid performance that is on-par or even slightly better than the some of the better-known thermal compounds and certainly is better than a lot of the generic/no-name thermal compound that many products come with. For a small investment, this thermal compound will make a big difference and is worthy of consideration for your next application.
Pros:
+ Non conductive, non-corrosive, non-curing, etc
+ Solid performance
+ No burn-in time
+ Easy to apply with applicator included
Cons:
- None so far
