Polartherm CPU Cooler X8 10g Thermal Paste

Keep your system running smoothly with our reliable and affordable X-8 thermal paste, which is the perfect choice for everyday users, gamers, and DIY enthusiasts who want to keep their computer cool, quiet, and stable under any load. Ideal for both beginners and experienced users Designed with both performance and convenience in mind, the X-8 thermal paste is the perfect choice for everyday users, gamers, and DIY enthusiasts. X-8 contains a silicone oil-based carrier, mixed with aluminum and zinc oxide powder. Created to enhance the thermal performance of CPU and GPU cooling, X-8 is ideal for use in both air and liquid cooling systems. The well-balanced formula ensures excellent thermal conductivity and good durability, making application easy, while providing the durability needed to resist the pump-out effect. Durable enough to resist the pump-out effect The pump-out effect occurs when thermal paste is gradually squeezed out from between the heat spreader and the CPU cooler base plate, due to deformation caused by temperature changes under load. Materials like silicone and copper, with different thermal expansion rates, make the effect more noticeable, especially when a copper cooler is used on the graphics chip. At lower temperatures, the pump-out effect is less severe, which is why the X-8, with its low viscosity, is ideal for lower thermal output CPUs. Signs that the thermal paste needs to be replaced include the CPU temperature rising and the clock speed decreasing.
