How to choose thermal paste or a thermal pad
Thermal Conductivity
Higher W/m·K means better heat transfer: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (~12 W/m·K) and Minus Pad Extreme (17.8 W/m·K) lead the pack; ARCTIC MX-6 (~12.5 W/m·K) offers excellent value. Budget pastes start around 4–6 W/m·K.
Paste vs. Pad
Thermal paste fills microscopic surface imperfections between CPU and cooler. Thermal pads are solid sheets used where a gap exists — VRM heatsinks, M.2 SSDs, GPU memory, or anywhere paste would run or seep.
Quantity & Application
A 1 g syringe covers 3–5 CPU applications; bulk 100 g jars (like PROLIMATECH PK-Zero 600 g) serve workshop and server use. Thermal pads come in sheets cut to size — check the area and thickness needed for your target component.
Operating Temperature Range
Alphacool Apex pads are rated for –50 °C to +150 °C, making them suitable for automotive electronics, industrial controllers, and extreme overclocking environments beyond standard PC use.

Application tip: Clean the CPU IHS and cooler base with isopropyl alcohol (90%+) before applying new paste. A single pea-sized dot at the centre spreads to full coverage under mounting pressure — no need to spread manually. Thermal pads should be cut precisely to component size and placed without air pockets.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I replace thermal paste?
For most builds, replacing thermal paste every 2–4 years maintains optimal CPU temperatures. High-end pastes like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut can last longer. Signs it's time to repaste include CPU temperatures rising 5–10 °C above your normal baseline.
What is the difference between thermal paste and thermal pads?
Thermal paste is a semi-liquid compound that fills microscopic gaps between a flat heatsink and a flat chip surface. Thermal pads are solid flexible sheets used when a physical gap exists between components — such as GPU VRAM chips and their heatsink, or an M.2 SSD and its cooler.
Can I use any thermal paste for my GPU?
Yes — the same compounds used for CPUs work on GPU dies. For GPU VRAM, heatspreaders, and VRM chips, use thermal pads (not paste) sized to match the chip height. Check the pad thickness spec before ordering; incorrect thickness reduces contact pressure.
