To test the Tuniq TR-1 Thermal Compound Remover I will be using it when I change out the thermal materials during the benchmarking for the Tuniq TX-2. I will be basing my results of the remover against my old favorite of isopropyl alcohol 99% and see how much easier it is to clean up. For the testing of the Tuniq TX-2 Cooling Thermal Material I will be watching the temp of my CPU while idle and under load. To raise the temp I will be running the Prime 95 Burn-in test. I will be comparing the Tuniq TX-2 to the Gelid GC1 and Arctic Silver 5. The ambient temp of the room will remain a constant 19°C to ensure a far test for all of the used thermal materials.

 From this we can see that this stuff is amazing. At first I didn’t believe the results so I ran them again and got very similar results. Over the past few thermal compound tests we have run we have been seeing the old juggernaught Arctic Silver slowly slipping from its perch as the king, and seeing more and more reasons why you should think about which thermal material compound you are using.

When it came down to my results for the Tuniq TR-1 Thermal Material Remover I was downright amazed. At first I really didn’t have any faith that this stuff would really be that great but I was wrong. The remover was incredibly easy to use with the eye dropper style bottle for precision placement. All there was to do was to add a few drops to the CPU cooler, place a few drops on the CPU, turn around and grab a small clean cloth, and with a single wipe or two all traces of the thermal material was gone. Simply put this was the best and easiest experience I have ever had when it came to changing thermal materials, and after the past few months here I have had to change it a lot.

Let’s move on to my final thoughts:
