Know before you buy
Yes, KPx is non-conductive and non-corrosive, meaning it will not cause short circuits or damage your hardware if it accidentally makes contact with surrounding components.
No, KPx is a non-curing compound. It provides optimal thermal performance immediately upon application, so you do not need to wait for a break-in period.
Absolutely. KPx is specifically engineered for extreme overclocking and is rated to perform reliably within a temperature range of -50°C to 250°C.
A 10g syringe is quite generous and will typically cover 10 to 20 standard CPU installations, depending on the size of your processor and the thickness of your application.
While you can apply the paste using the dot or line method, the included spoon is helpful for achieving a perfectly even, thin layer across the entire surface of an IHS or GPU die.
With a thermal conductivity rating of 12.5 W/mK, KPx sits at the high end of the performance spectrum, offering significantly better heat transfer than the basic thermal compounds typically included with stock coolers.
