Thermal Material Mount Images
Sometimes there are people that are curious about the quality of the mounts used in reviews. Here's a sampling of the mounts for the GELID Solutions Silent Spirit, Scythe Ninja Rev B, and Intel Core i7 stock heatsink.
This is the initial mount with the factory application of GC-1.
Here is the initial dab of GC-1. It was more liquid than I expected so I slightly over-applied.
Here was the resulting mount. Near the bottom you can see the excess GC-1 was squeezed out from underneath the heatsink.
This was a mount with the Scythe Ninja Rev B. Due to the higher mounting pressure it spread the TIM much thinner than the Silent Spirit.
This was a better application as I used my normal Arctic Silver Ceramique. The LGA1366 mount provided enough mounting pressure to achieve a satisfactory mount.
The stock heatsink resulted in a decent mount; the mounting pressure wasn't nearly that of the Silent Spirit.
