The temperature difference get bigger when the temperature rise.
I recommend the Thermal Grizzly "Kryonaut" over the GC-extreme. The price didnt
matter that much in such cases. I for myself use 5g in about 5 years. "I" think
Thermal Grizzly "Kryonaut" is better.
If i get 5 oder 10g for 15euro - does not really matter.
It would be nice now to see if our information could help drop the temperature
on a quadcore usage inside of the T420.
