Testing
After testing the ThermalTake Max Orb with Arctic Silver 5, I decided it would be a good idea to put it directly up against the Akasa 460 paste.
Arctic Silver 5, Jetart Nano-diamon, Akasa Pro-Grade 460
I’ll put the paste through the normal testing procedure which consists of the following:
Let the core idle for 30 minutes with nothing running, and record the end temperature.
Start both StressPrime on both cores and a single instance of folding@home.
Let the testing run for 30 minutes and record the end temperature.
Ambient was a constant 23C.
As you can see from the results, the Akasa heatpaste isn’t as good as Arctic Silver 5, and doesn’t come close to Jetart’s Nano-diamond paste (our current favourite and best performer). That said, Arctic Silver 5 still retails for around £6 while Akasa’s 460 comes at the more acceptable £3 mark.
Baring in mind that this is Akasa’s mid-range paste, there are even better performing products to come from Akasa.
