Corsair has released their first own-branded thermal paste solution, which joins the already dozens of products on the market. Thermal paste (or any sort of TIM – Thermal Interface Material) essentially serves to increase thermal conductivity between two surfaces, such as your CPU and your cooler’s heatsink.
Corsair says the TM30 thermal paste they’ve released features low viscosity (needed to fully penetrate microscopic abrasions in the interfaced materials and pushing low-conductivity air out), and is based on a zinc-oxide compound. Corsair say TM30 offers up to 6º of cooler operation compared to the admittedly ambiguous “common thermal paste”. Corsair also said that TM30 can and will last for years without drying, cracking, or change in consistency, thus ensuring a long lifespan in the best thermal conductivity conditions possible. Corsair’s TM30 is available for €6.90 / $7.98 per syringe. Sadly, quantities aren’t mentioned.
