Thermene launches a Graphene Oxide based thermal paste

[ttam]

Thermene launched a new product based on graphene - the Thermene Graphene Thermal Paste is based on graphene-oxide flakes and is aimed towards CPU cooling. The company just started selling this new product a few days ago.

 

The company says this about the TIM;

"Thermene is a highly advanced thermal compound (paste) that is unlike any thermal paste ever before seen. Thermene blows every other consumer thermal compound out of the water. The secret to Thermene's amazing performance is the incredible substance called graphene."

 

 

- No Aluminum

- 3c to 17c difference in temperatures

- Very easy to apply

- 10 hour cure time

I like the cure time on it

[BigD1970]

Cool,where is it sold?

[Kuzma]

Possibly the only TIM I've considered buying

Now I might actually have to reapply thermal paste for once, very intriguing and cool use for graphene. It is breaking into the mainstream!

ok guys

we need a coolant with Graphene inside !

 

also

coated graphene air coolers

It might be fun to see a group on here get together and test this new one out as a forum project of sorts.  We could see how it does in real world computers in popular cpu/cooler combinations vs. their existing set up. Hell we likely could find many people with many of the same parts to do something like this to help keep the comparisons similar at least.

does it conduct electricity?

what exactly have you been using up til now?

[Kuzma]

what exactly have you been using up til now?

Yet to build my PC but I haven't even looked at TIM until this, didn't seem really worth it.

so if this hadn't come along, you wouldn't have used any TIM at all?

Probably would have used the TIM that came with my cooler

I would be really wary of this, there are no hard facts on their page, 3-17° better is very very vague. No hard numbers for the Thermalconductivity is a little STOP sign for me.

Though I have read about some experiments that involve graphene being used to interface the IHS and a traditional Copper/Aluminum heatsink with good results, I don't think this site is legit. Seriously, read some of the blog posts. There are lots of grammar mistakes, they only carry this one product, and there is no mention of it being sold anywhere else.

yes it does

Graphene is one of the most conductive materials on Earth, although that doesn't really matter.

 

The compound isn't 100% graphene, so there is no telling whether it is conductive or not (I'm betting on not).

 

Arctic Silver 5 contains silver which is even more conductive than copper.  The AS5 compound however, is not conductive.

 

Also, the heat shield on a CPU is not charged so even if your thermal compound was conductive, it wouldn't do anything.  You'd just have to be more careful about dripping it on the motherboard or in the socket.
