    Imho, in comparison with Coollaboratory liquidPro (liquid indium alloy) the rest of thermal compounds are crap, even Arctic Silver V, the second best. Their use can be justified only if you don't have copper surface.

    Nice review, but it does not give the heat conducting properties of liquid indium in comparison with silver and diamond on page 1 (I don't know the number either).
