X220 repasting - Stock vs Arctic Silver MX-4 test


Intro

A quick and dirty before and after temperature comparison between stock thermal paste and Arctic Silver MX-4.

CPU is a i7 2620M, s-tui was used for stress testing & monitoring (each bar is 2 seconds apart).

Results

  • Couple of degrees lower idle temperature
  • Lower fan speed at idle
  • No more thermal throttling
  • Max temperature using MX-4 paste will probably be the same as stock but it will take much, much more time to get there, if ever
