Most manufacturers I suspect have this because Thermal cream is used in most all space products but they need to pass the NASA out-gassing requirements for space craft if we are to purchase. This is great information but my entire industry needs to know the TML% CVCM% & the WVR% before any of these can be used on space products.

If you want to see any thermal pastes added to the next round of testing, let us know in the comments below! If you’re a company looking to have your thermal paste added, then feel free to contact us at pla圓r.net – I hope that I answered some of your questions and I hope you enjoyed our ‘what is the best thermal paste’ video comparison. You can purchase (for a good price and usually the cheapest) most of the thermal pastes that have been tested by clicking the links below not only is thermal paste important as I have explained, but having the right one that’s cost effective and of course offers good performance is more important than using cheap generic paste as I have proved. What is the best thermal paste to use for the Intel Core i7-7700K processor?īelow is my video comparing the aforementioned 26 thermal pastes and the results are pretty conclusive That is why I spent around 30 days (in total) comparing and testing 26 of the top thermal pastes on the market with the Intel Core i7-7700K processor to see which reigned supreme…and which failed to deliver on their marketing. Now those questions have been answered, now you will maybe understand why thermal paste is an important tool in ensuring adequate and good thermal transfer between your CPU cooler and of course, your processor. The drawback to liquid metal paste however is the application can be messy, the paste is more expensive and overall, some people just prefer to go with the easiest route I don’t blame them in all honesty! The liquid metal not only plugs the gaps better between the IHS and the CPU cooler, but it also features better conductivity meaning more heat can be transferred per application than other types used. A good example is liquid metal against ceramic based pastes. What I will say though is for air and water cooling, most of the ‘decent’ aftermarket thermal pastes will have a couple of degrees Celsius between them…aside from those with high thermal conductivity ratings such as liquid metal.ĭifferent types of thermal paste consist of different materials some are better than others in terms of thermal conductivity. My recommendations are different based on if you’re using conventional cooling methods such as air, water and even sub-zero liquid nitrogen and dry ice. It really depends on the type of cooling you are using. If you don’t use thermal paste, will your system overheat? Probably! Will it pack up and die? Probably not right away, but heat and extreme builds up of heat can have a negative effect on the longevity of most electronic products CPUs are no exception here. Thermal paste bridges the gap and fills in all those miniature imperfections creating a tight seal, meaning that the thermal conduction is optimised in a way which is efficient. ![]() Another problem is that different types of metal such as aluminium, copper, and brass all have different expansion properties when heated up and cooled down. First of all, that super smooth heat spreader on your CPU has loads of micro imperfections which allow air pockets to build thus ruining the efficiency of your cooling. This isn’t such a straightforward answer, but more of an explanation of why thermal paste is so important. What will happen if I don’t use thermal paste? Thermal paste essentially plugs the gaps which allow for better heat transfer. The short answer, an element of physical contact is needed to transfer heat efficiently between the heat spreader and the heat sink. Thermal paste is a very important ‘component’ for ensuring efficient and optimal thermal conductivity between your heat sink and your processor…but why? Here are some common questions along with answers to those questions to further understand why thermal paste is important. ![]() Following on from our previous ‘ Which is the best thermal paste’ article and testing we did back in 2015, I decided to create another this time with a current-gen Intel Core i7-7700K processor and with a couple more thermal pastes added into the mix. ![]()
