I am thinking that the sorter the time the better the silicone is, being that if it takes a long time for the heat to get to the censor that would mean it is holding back the heat instead of letting it getting to the "heat sink"? I would think that as a "thermal paste" you want the heat to get to the heat sink as fast as possible in order to keep the part as cool as possible, or am I missing something?
Yes. Both of these products are inadequate for moving heat. The faster the better. I tested these products so we would have something to compare to for all the other putty and pads I've tested. KPT-8 and MG860 are likely a better baseline from which to judge other putties as they are actually designed to move heat unlike, Silicone Caulking and Acoustic Sealant. Right now the 2 best putties I've tested at TH949-1 and EVGA Putty. Both of which finish the test around 5 minutes.
@@snarksdomain Thank you for the reply, guess I will check your other video's and see what results you get, as I like the idea of a putty, I don't have to worry about what thickness I need, again thank you...
@LennyM I think the best place to start is the following video as there is testing comparing putty vs pads vs shims on a GPU. ua-cam.com/video/zSX_7P0HZqc/v-deo.html
@@snarksdomain i told you because I was today just having a conversation about the same topic with one friend and he scolded me because I thought cpu silicon was made of silicone.

Great channel - TOP Content :)

Silicon is not the same as Silicone.
Good catch! Thanks for the heads up.
Edit: Video title updated. Thanks again, and happy holidays!
