Noctua launches durable carbon nanotube thermal pad for AMD CPUs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Noctua has released a new thermal pad utilizing carbon nanotube technology developed by Carbice Corp. This pad is designed for AMD AM5 and AM4 processors and promises long-term, maintenance-free performance. Unlike traditional thermal pastes that degrade over time, Noctua's NT-CP1 pad uses vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes that conform to the CPU's surface, improving heat transfer and maintaining stability for years.

    Noctua brings space-grade carbon nanotube thermal pad to AMD AM5 and AM4 processors — promises years of maintenance-free performance for $24.95

    Noctua says the NT-CP1 uses carbon nanotubes originally developed for aerospace applications, with the material gradually adapting to microscopic surface imperfections to improve heat transfer over repeated heating and cooling cycles.
