A few months ago, we tested seven methods for applying thermal compound in order to determine which was the best. At the time, we concluded that a small dot in the center of the CPU is the best method to apply thermal compound. But this conclusion may be applied only for the hardware we used, and, since we ran our tests using a CPU cooler with a mirror-like base, we couldn't extrapolate that result for coolers with different characteristics, such as direct touch heatpipes coolers. In those coolers, there are gaps and irregularities on the base of the cooler which may need a different quantity or procedure to apply thermal compound. That's why we are testing again. This time we will try to answer the question, "What is the best way to apply thermal grease on direct-touch heatpipes CPU coolers?

We tested several ways to apply thermal compound on a CPU in order to find out what is the method that brings the best performance.

Today we will be taking a look at one of Samsung's high end CSC's to see how it differs from a point and shoot style device and the more traditional DSLR it looks to replace.

On our Windows 8 test platform we were able to quickly see the benefits of running with the C6 and C7 power states enabled. We found that with C6/C7 disabled that the system would idle between 23.7 and 24.1 Watts, but with them enabled we were seeing between 20.5 to 21.2 Watts. Both numbers are impressive as you have to keep in mind that the whole system is being measures here with a Kill-A-Watt power meter at the wall outlet...

So what does that mean for us sci-fi geeks who liked Star Wars and those guys who still live in their parents’ basements, living and breathing the sacred trilogies? Well, apparently Disney has more movies planned.

Nach unserem letzten MXL 9000 Test möchten wir hiermit drei weitere Vertreter der Röhrenmikrofone auf den Prüfstand stellen und einem direkten Hörvergleich unterziehen. An dieser Stelle war eigentlich ein Vergleich sämtlicher High End Röhrenmikrofone der obersten Preiskategorie geplant. Zusätzlich zu den Highend Mikrofonen möchten wir ein MXL Röhrenmikrofon des unteren Preissegmentes mit vergleichen. Die Preise des AKG´s und Microtech Gefell liegen bei einer unverbindlichen Preisempfehlung von ca. 4000 €, das MXL dagegen gerade mal bei 500 €.“
