Figures 4 and 5 show the ZEROtherm ZT-100 thermal compound, which has a gray color as well. This thermal compound comes with a “finger condom” that you can use to spread the thermal compound on the CPU. However, in order to do all the tests with the same parameters, we applied this compound with the “small dot at the center of the CPU” as in other tests.
