Product Information

Full details

This Thermal Paste (220 C Rating, 30G Tube) by Under Control Instruments is designed for users needing efficient heat transfer in demanding environments, offering a high temperature resistance and conductivity. Its primary benefit is reliable thermal management for components prone to overheating. A potential caveat is its specific syringe packing, which may require careful application.

FAQs

What is the optimal amount of thermal paste to apply?

A pea-sized amount applied to the center of the CPU or GPU is generally recommended. The pressure from mounting the heatsink will spread the paste evenly. Avoid over-application.

How often should thermal paste be replaced?

It is recommended to reapply thermal paste every 2-5 years, or sooner if you notice a significant increase in component temperatures or experience thermal throttling.

Can this thermal paste be used on SSDs or other storage devices?

Yes, if the SSD or storage device has a heat spreader or components that generate significant heat and require efficient thermal transfer, this paste can be used.

Is this thermal paste electrically conductive?

The product description does not specify electrical conductivity. Users should exercise caution and avoid direct contact with sensitive electrical components to prevent potential short circuits.

What does the 220 C rating mean?

The 220°C rating indicates the maximum operating temperature the thermal paste can withstand while maintaining its thermal transfer properties effectively.

How should I clean off old thermal paste?

Use a lint-free cloth or coffee filter lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher concentration). Gently wipe the surface until all residue is removed, then allow it to air dry completely before applying new paste.

What is the shelf life of this thermal paste?

When stored properly in its original sealed syringe in a cool, dry place, the thermal paste should maintain its properties for several years. Refer to the manufacturer's packaging for specific date information if available.

Troubleshooting

Paste is too thick or difficult to dispense.

Ensure the syringe tip is properly attached and the internal seal is removed. Gently warm the syringe slightly by holding it in your hand for a minute if the ambient temperature is very cold.

Inconsistent temperature readings after application.

Check that the heatsink is mounted correctly with even pressure. Ensure no excessive paste was used, which can sometimes hinder heat transfer. Reapply if necessary after thoroughly cleaning both surfaces.

Paste appears to be drying out over time.

This paste is designed for high temperatures, but extreme or prolonged dry conditions at ambient temperature might affect consistency. Ensure the cap is sealed tightly when not in use and stored as recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High temperature resistance (220°C)
  • Good thermal conductivity (5.15W/m-k)
  • Wide operational temperature range (-55°C to 220°C)
  • Convenient syringe application for precision
  • Effective heat dissipation for component longevity

Cons

  • Syringe packing may require a learning curve for optimal application
  • 30g size might be excessive for single, small applications
  • Specific use case; not a general-purpose lubricant or sealant

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure both surfaces (e.g., CPU/GPU and heatsink) are clean and free from dust or old thermal paste. Apply a small, pea-sized amount or a thin, even line of paste to the center of the component using the syringe applicator. Do not over-apply. Carefully align and secure the heatsink, allowing the paste to spread naturally under pressure.

Compatibility: This thermal paste is compatible with a wide range of electronic components, including CPUs, GPUs, chipsets, and other heat-generating devices. It is designed for use with standard heatsink mounting hardware.

Care: Store the thermal paste in its original syringe, capped tightly, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid contamination of the nozzle. For cleaning, use isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher) on a lint-free cloth to remove residue from surfaces.
