Polartherm X-8 thermal paste in a 2g syringe provides enough compound for several standard processor applications. Correct thermal interface material is essential to transferring heat efficiently from the processor into the cooler. A convenient size for a single build or a cooler reseat.

Efficient Heat Transfer
No matter how well machined, 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 rather than being trapped at the interface. Applying fresh paste is one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce temperatures on a system that has begun running hot.
Practical 2g Size
A 2g syringe provides enough compound for several standard processor applications, making it well suited to a single build, a cooler upgrade or a maintenance reseat. Thermal paste degrades over time as it dries out, so replacing it during a rebuild is worthwhile even if the cooler itself is unchanged. The syringe applicator makes it easy to dispense a controlled amount without waste.
