... . I was able to get 7-8 mounts out of a single 1.6g syringe, which was I thought was impressive ... has amazingly little cure. In fact, overall, it has the least cure of any paste tested to date; only Indigo Xtreme has less observed curing. As for visual response to changes in contact, there’s some response but even with Great contact it never ‘gets out of the way’ visually ...TIM Consultants Quantum is a very interesting paste, it almost out-MX-2′s MX-2. That is, it’s available at a wide variety of sizes and prices (all of which are pretty well priced), it performs solidly (~13% better than MX-2, overall), and has very minimal cure. Strictly speaking, I think Quantum is better than MX-2 as its only comparative loss is with Great contact, the least likely real-world contact scenario. As for their estimation of 44% better than 0098, if Arctic Silver Matrix is identical to 0098 then by my measurement Quantum is ~39% better with Typical CPU Mounting and ~36% better with Overall Performance Impression (if 70C = perfect). Our numbers don’t line up exactly but neither do our test methods, surely. Anyway, color me impressed with regards to Quantum.
