NZXT completes its range of PC components and peripherals with its own thermal paste. With ‘High Performance Thermal Paste’, the manufacturer hasn’t exactly chosen an exciting name, although the paste has to guarantee maximum heat transfer in any system.
HPTP has a claimed conductivity of 6.3 watts per Kelvin, or just over a third of Alphacool’s recently released Apex putty’s 17W/mK. NZXT uses zinc oxide, liquid polymer and aluminum, but the product page states that thermal paste does not conduct any current. Other specifications include a viscosity of 35~220*10³ mPa.s and a density of 3.5 grams per cubic centimeter.
NZXT’s High Performance Thermal Paste has a shelf life of three years. A three gram syringe costs ten and a 15 gram version changes hands for 20 Euros. Both are available on the company’s website, cannot be found in the product comparator at the time of writing. In addition to the thermal paste, an alcohol wipe is also provided to remove the previously applied paste.
