The second round will be especially interesting for people who want to find the best solution for a standard use. The winner is a\u00a0big surprise. Gelid, Noctua, Phobya, Reeven, SilentiumPC, Thermal Grizzly or Zalman? We can give away that it is not an\u00a0expected favourite this time. We enjoyed a\u00a0nice competition in the middle category, where it takes a\u00a0lot to keep making a\u00a0difference. We also tested OEM paste from Scythe as a\u00a0bonus.<\/p>\n

The alphabetical order of tested samples will be familiar to you from the previous part. It will be easy for you to find a particular paste in every picture and in the sampler. The sheet contains 13 entries again. Therefore, the 14th drop on the desk, Scythe compound, can be a\u00a0bit confusing because you cannot buy it separately. It only comes with the Scythe coolers.<\/p>\n
