Alphacool Introduces the Apex Thermal Paste Rated 17 W/mK
The new Apex thermal paste is available from Alphacool. With a thermal conductivity of 17 W/mK, it joins the ranks of the market's most powerful thermal pastes.
The primary goal throughout development was, of course, to improve heat conductivity. However, considerations like as viscosity and durability should not be overlooked. Alphacool was able to optimize the viscosity of the Apex thermal paste, making it particularly ideal for high contact pressures while being simple to produce. Apex Thermal Grease's core constituent is a nano-powder with an extremely low thermal impedance. This allows electronic components to be efficiently cooled, extending their durability and boosting their reliability.
The thermal paste comes in a 4g applicator with a screw-on cover. The supplied quantity is adequate for numerous applications and can be stored in the applicator to keep it from drying out. From 06/16/2022, the Apex 17 W/mK Thermal Grease will be available in the Alphacool online store (item number 1022240).

I can't believe you guys are getting all excited over this paste.
Alphacool's last pastes had completely misleading W/MK. Phobya Nanogrease Extreme, which was later relabeled as Subzero, had 16 w/mk, but performed WORSE than Kryonaut! (I still have the paste). Thermalright TFX beats it in every way, all the time. Even SYY-157 is better.
But since Newer is ALWAYS better, well...maybe this will finally beat TFX.

If specifications are sincere? Then this will deliver 1C lower than ProlimaTech Nano PK3 (product of 2012).
There is no magical chemistry out there, all that we should care about this is getting good performance even of new products, at known quality standards them be around in the past 10 years.
Let's hope that Alphacool thermal grease supplier (factory), this is located in Taiwan, and it is in use the best chemistry of Taiwan. (That even MSI trust and use at their own factory).
I absolutely LOVE PK3. Too bad it's incredibly difficult to get the 30 gram tubes and have to rely on stock alerts. I use the stuff for work, very cost effective and high performance. I have some thermalright stuff too but it's a bit too much like putty and harder to work with. I don't spread paste and I'm actually quite liberal with X or X with dots in each pie for extra large GPU dies.
