ASUS ROG Strix RG-05 Performance Thermal Paste - 90RC01C0-B0EAY0

ASUS ROG Strix RG-05 Performance Thermal Paste - 90RC01C0-B0EAY0

The ASUS ROG Strix RG-05 is a performance thermal paste formulated to transfer heat efficiently between a processor and its cooler. Correct thermal interface material is essential to getting the performance a cooler is capable of, and fresh paste is one of the simplest ways to reduce temperatures on a system running hot. Supplied in a syringe applicator for controlled, waste-free application.

Why Thermal Paste Matters

However precisely machined they are, the surfaces of a processor heat spreader and a cooler base never meet perfectly, leaving microscopic air gaps that conduct heat very poorly. Thermal paste fills those gaps so heat passes efficiently into the cooler instead of being trapped at the interface. Dried out or badly applied paste is one of the most common causes of unexpectedly high temperatures and thermal throttling in older systems.

ROG Performance Formulation

The RG-05 compound is formulated for high thermal conductivity, aimed at enthusiasts running high-core-count processors or overclocked systems where every degree of headroom counts. It is non-conductive and non-capacitive, so an accidental smear onto surrounding components will not cause a short. The syringe applicator makes it easy to dispense a controlled amount for the pea-sized application most processors need.
