Cooler master e1 ic essential review năm 2024

Brilliant thermal compound. I have a AMD FX 6300 that runs at 3.5GHz and Turbo's at 4.1GHz under load. I run Elite Dangerous on Ultra Settings with the stock TIM on the aluminium/stock heat sink that came with my CPU & I was getting 50-55 C under load. With MX-4 I now get between 43-49 under load.

With stock TIM CPU was running at 40-41 Idle. Idle temperaturewith MX-4 is as low as 32 Degrees C.

Verified purchase: No

GREAT PRODUCT

Worked perfectly, and came with extra paste and other stuff. The Cooler Master Thermal Paste is a very good quality thermal paste to use. Although there is not much to talk about when it comes to thermal paste, I'll try to review it as best as I can.

Verified purchase: No

Excellent thermal paste

Excellent thermal paste, easy to apply, easy blade for application included in the kit, cleaning cloth included. Brought CPU temperature down by 8 degrees

It will depend on what you are doing with your PC. Most thermal pastes are within a degree or two performance wise of each other, so I don't see that it will make a lot of difference, as long as you apply it properly(amount). Too much or too little can affect the thermal performance negatively.

Due to many requests by readers, followers and even some companies wanting their pastes to be included in our comparison, we decided to do an updated “Which is the best thermal paste” article. The previous article can be found here – http://www.play3r.net/reviews/cooling/thermal-paste-comparison-2015-best-thermal-paste/

We have added the following pastes to our graphs and tested them using the same methods as the previous comparison:

– TOP SECRET X (Sorry, it’s NDA) – Cooler Master E1 – Cooler Master E2 – Arctic Silver 5 – Prolimatech PK1 – Phanteks TH-NDC (Supplied with Phanteks coolers)

We also re-tested a couple of other thermal pastes based on readers questions, discussions and disagreements; we like to do what the people want!

Test Setup

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K (3.9GHz @1.1v & 4.5GHz @1.25v) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Motherboard: ASRock Z97 OC Formula RAM: Kingston GSkill TridentX 2400MHz 8GB (2x4GB) PSU: Cooler Master V1200 1200w Platinum OS: Windows 7 Premium 64 bit

Testing Methodology:

As each thermal paste requires different curing times, different bedding in times, it made testing each thermal paste quite an arduous task in terms of time; no fear, taking our time is what Play3r does best and the following method was devised for the testing, something each of the thermal pastes had to go through prior to obtaining results.

Step 1 – Applying each thermal paste by each of the manufacturers recommended methods; where no methods were given, common sense and experience comes into play.

Step 2 – Running the test system for 24hrs with a run of Prime95’s torture test for an hour to help cure the paste in; some don’t need curing, but tough, we did it anyway!

Step 3 – After 24hrs, I ran Prime95 for 30 minutes on each of the following settings saved from BIOS; 3.9GHz @ 1.1v and 4.5GHz @ 1.25v; this is to give a completely level playing field

Step 4 – Delta temperatures were taken due to any variance in ambient temperatures; British weather can be a marvellous thing and be cold and wet one day, to warm and sunny the other. Bare this in mind when reading our results. Delta temperature is core temperature minus ambient temperature which is believed to give more consistent results, some will disagree, but I prefer this method.

With the test setup noted, the entire testing methodology being laid out in an understandable and tedious way, it’s time to see who reigns king…

Final Words

It’s quite apparent that Coollaboratory with their Liquid Ultra and Pro compounds are king of the castle in terms of cooling performance, although these do have their pitfalls and some people prefer to go elsewhere. The main issue with Liquid metal is it is quite abrasive and personally, I have found it removes CPU information which is indented into the IHS; it becomes a problem if you like to know which CPU you are installing prior to booting up etc.

With the addition of a few thermal pastes, the TOP SECRET X compound does very well and is nearly comparable to IC Diamond 7 Carat; one of the pastes which we re-tested due to sour plums from their company rep. I guess it paid off for them as they gained a degree or 2 and moved up the charts a little, but it isn’t a precedent which we intend to set, but we felt we should give it another chance at least. Like the liquid metal options, it does cause abrasion too so bear that in mind before purchasing it.

The Cooler Master E1 and E2 also do very well in our charts, which gives us a trend that the metallic pastes tend to do a little better than ceramique/creamy compounds etc. The E1 is made from silver with the E2 using gold as its substance of choice and both with their merits, the E2 does outperform the E1 in our tests.

So what’s the verdict? Well the graphs speak for themselves, but there is always new compounds coming to the market to challenge the stalwarts such as Arctic Silver 5, MX-2 etc, but it isn’t often one can change one’s preference without showing a noticeable difference, not only in performance but in application to. What will come around in 2016 to rival the industry leaders and will any come close to Coollaboratory? Only time will tell!

Is Cooler Master included thermal paste good?

Does the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO come with thermal paste? Yes it does. Pretty much every CPU cooler confess with some thermal compound. Though some people but other compounds for the relatively small cooling performance increase, the average sort of paste you'll get with a cooler is plenty fine to use.

Is Cooler Master V1 good?

Cooler Master IC Value V1 It's really easy to use, but doesn't work any better than the random no-name compounds we've tested. While the price is right, performance leaves a lot to be desired.

Is Cooler Master Cryofuze electrically conductive?

Beyond the headlining color, which hardcore PC enthusiasts and DIYers aren't going to care about (much), Cooler Master claims some decent technical specifications for its purply paste. Its thermal conductivity value is 12.6 W/mK, which is at the higher-end for pastes that aren't electrically conductive.

Is Cooler Master Mastergel Maker conductive?

master gel maker Nano-tech Diamond particle properties developed for users needing the best thermal conductivity for high performance CPUs, GPU or even chipsets. The non-curing and non-electrical conductive traits help avoid any short circuiting and provide protection and performance for long-term use.
