EK Water Blocks Introduces NGP Thermal Paste

PRESS RELEASE  

 

Today, 17:55

EK, the leading computer cooling-solutions provider, proudly announces the launch of the EK-Loop Thermal Paste NGP (5 g), a thermal interface material meticulously engineered for enthusiasts seeking efficient thermal transfer between high-end components and their cooler of choice. The EK-Loop Thermal Paste NGP utilizes nano-grade particles, ensuring effective heat transfer between CPUs, GPUs, and other chipsets and their respective cooling mechanisms, such as water blocks and heatsinks.

The cornerstone of the EK-Loop Thermal Paste NGP is its Nano Grade Particles (NGP) technology, which ensures very low thermal impedance and excellent applicability. These nano-grade particles are engineered to form an ultra-thin layer between the heat source and the cooler, promoting effective heat dissipation. The low thermal impedance is important as it allows the paste to effectively transfer heat away from critical components like CPUs and GPUs, minimizing the risk of overheating and supporting overall system performance.

 

MSRP: €9.90. For more information, visit the product page.

It may change if he used an more power hungry Cpu as 14900K/KS in the test.

quite valuable as im still using a big-ass tube of kryonaut that i purchased back in Oct-2017, so 6.5 years and counting 😄

Will this be discontinued due to financial troubles at EKWB?

Depends. EK have a massive inventory of parts. They just can't go out of business. Maybe we will se restructuring/new owners. Have to see how it boils down. Bad owners is bad for every company.

Dowsil TC-5550 looks good here: https://youtu.be/htp7e1w_BdY?t=330

 

They also released a new paste called TC-5960 recently which from the specs is the best paste from Dowsil. They don't mention it is for PCM replacement unlike TC-5550, not sure if it's better than TC-5550 for a laptop CPU though. TC-5888 was great and in fact the best paste I have, if one of them is better this might be the best bare die paste in the market at the moment. TC-5960 maybe also for desktop CPUs because the bondline thickness has been reduced compared to TC-5888 down from 0.02mm to 0.016mm despite the higher viscosity.

have you used honeywell pate.? tc 5888 better than oneywell.?

Yes I have, it was a lot worse than the PTM7950 phase change pad or TC-5888. Note that there are some rebrand of TC-5888 in the market, I believe Kold-01 is a TC-5888 rebrand and possibly Aerocool Fuzion too. I posted some results here I think. My favourite pastes are TC-5888/Kold-01/Fuzion/Shin-Etsu X-23-8117/Thermal Hero Quantum. Haven't tested TC-5550 and TC-5960 yet, they don't sell directly to end consumers, they are hard to buy.

Its been a while since i login here on NBT, Life has been pretty hectic and still is but it easing up somewhat. Anyways update after almost 9 months of using Honeywell 7950.

 

 

I cleaned my fans last week since i noticed my laptop was overheating but after a dust clean up temps are back to normal. Not much changed besides my cinebench score!  

 

 

[JeanLegi]

Need to order Honeywell PTM again still the best for me and all the turtbooks and maybe for my 13700KF and i can test it on my 4080 ^^ but no time :D.

This AI trend start being laughable. One more stupid than the others. You like stupidity @Vasudev?

 

 Do Cooler Master use AI to find up new fancy idiotic product names?🤔🤔

 

Cooler Master introduces colored ‘AI Thermal Paste’ — CryoFuze 5 comes with nano-diamond technology

 

Cooler Master uses the AI branding on CryoFuze 5, but there is nothing AI about a thermal paste solution. While perhaps Cooler Master could've designed it for AI processors, especially as next-generation AI chips like Intel’s Falcon Shores and Nvidia’s B100 and B200 GPUs have TDPs higher than 1,000 watts, the CryoFuze 5's thermal performance isn’t that far ahead of its competitors.

More brands trying to milk the AI trend the best as they can!. I dont think it'll make any different in temps anyways!.

Who knows if it was suggested by AI chatbot? Would have been better if AI could find better materials. I hope they include an NPU with the box.

Is it the best of both worlds?

Yeah the durability with Honeywell PTM7950 is nuts, Its been a year since i repasted with it and it still holds up even with this summer heat and high humidity here on the east coast. For desktops it'll last for several years without a repaste and for gaming laptops and workstations you dont have to worry about pump outs and repasting often.

[ryan]

yeah im using it on 3 laptops...0 issues. really effective stuff. need to find a solution for my zenbook, it still hits 90c easily. then again it is 0.6in thick..what do you expect kinda situation.

[incendery]

another vouch for PTM7950, I'm amazed how well it performs.

Roundup with 5 phase change pads in test: Honeywell PTM7950, PTM7950SP vs. OEM PCM5000, PCM8500 and Thermalright Heilos igorslab.de

[ryan]

have it on my vivobook and the ptm7950 is so good I'm not breaking 55c. ZenBook for some odd reason goes to 90c with light load, maybe need to re apply. and where it counts my gaming laptop, it hovers in the 70s max load extended periods. but that's with a iets gt500 cooler. I can get it to stabilize around 51c with no oc. but who games without overclocking..

he pad is only available in 0.25 mm thickness, while many imitators rely on 0.2 mm. However, this is NOT an original PTM7950.

 

would be insteresting to see the difference between fake and original pad.
