Description:
Economy size! Whooping 22 gram syringe! Ceramique, by Arctic
Silver, is a high density, ceramic based thermal compound. Ceramique is denser
than most other compounds and is a definite improvement over the free stuff
included with heatsinks and gpu coolers. With a name like Ceramique, who could
resist? Check out some great features below:
Features:
• High-Density ceramic content: Ceramique
uses a high-density layered composite of five unique shapes of thermally
conductive aluminum oxide, boron nitride and zinc oxide sub-micron particles
to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer. This
exclusive combination provides performance exceeding most metal based
compounds.
• Controlled Triple-Phase Viscosity: Ceramique does
not contain any silicone. The suspension fluid is a proprietary mixture of
advanced polysynthetic oils that provide superior performance and long-term
stability. During the system's initial use, the heat from the CPU lowers
the viscosity of the compound to enhance the filling of the microscopic
valleys and ensure a minimum bond line between the heatsink and the CPU core.
Then the compound thickens slightly over the next 100 to 300 hours of use to
its final consistency designed for long-term stability. (This should not be confused with
conventional phase change pads that are pre-attached to many heatsinks. Those
pads melt each time they get hot then re-solidify when they cool. The
viscosity changes that Ceramique goes through are much more subtle and
ultimately much more effective.)
• Excellent Stability: Ceramique is engineered to not separate, run, migrate, or bleed.
• Electrical Insulator: Ceramique does not contain any metal
or other electrically conductive materials. It is a pure electrical insulator,
neither electrically conductive nor capacitive.
Important Reminder: Due to the unique shapes and
sizes of the particles in Ceramique, it will take a minimum of 25 hours and
several thermal cycles to achieve maximum particle to particle thermal
conduction and for the heatsink to CPU interface to reach maximum conductivity.
(This period will be longer in a system without a fan on the heatsink.) On
systems measuring actual internal core temperatures via the CPU's internal
diode, the measured temperature will often drop slightly over this "break-in"
period. This break-in will occur during the normal use of the computer as long
as the computer is turned off from time to time and the interface is allowed to
cool to room temperature. Once the break-in is complete, the computer can be
left on if desired.
