Arctic Intros G-1 Adhesive Thermal Compound

btarunr · Jun 20, 2011

Arctic (formerly Arctic Cooling, before it diversified like no tomorrow), launched G-1 Thermal Glue, a non-metallic adhesive thermal paste. Unlike thermal epoxies that almost permanently attach heatsinks to components such as chips and FETs, the G-1 is intended to serve as adhesive thermal interface materials with scope for easy removal. It's more of a competition to thermal tape and "generic" thermal pads. Once applied, Arctic guarantees this compound to maintain its adhesion for up to 10 years.

The compound has a temperature range between 45°C and 200°C, with thermal conductivity of 4.3 W/mk, and viscosity of 320 P. The compound has no metal component, and is electrically non-conductive. The compound comes in the form of two components that have to be mixed before application. Arctic includes a small mixing tub and a spatula. Each box comes with three sets of compounds. The Arctic G-1 looks like the ideal compound for uni-FET heatsinks over individual MOSFETs, VRM area heatsinks, graphics card memory heatsinks, and even chipset heatsinks. Each box is priced at a little over 6.5 Euros.

Great! Just what I was looking for.
But I would just get a bowl or a tupperware box to mix the stuff.

Excellent.

It can just get better than that

Think twice when you use these. Thermal glue's are pretty hard to remove.

More like impossible(without destroying the components). Epoxy.

I had a GPU that someone used that stuff on the HS and fan. It was a heavy HS and it pulled the chip of the board.

its a something called news
so now we have better option to glue the hsf than using epoxy glue

It says that it's supposed to be easy to remove. We'll see I suppose. I tore a memory chip from an x800GT that way btw.

please add this to my wishlist

So is that better than AC silver?

HM, AS is thermal Grease, this is not. This is meant as a thermally conductive "glue" to stick heatsinks onto chipsets, RAM chips and the like. It is generally a bad idea to use stuff like this as regular thermal grease, because it's not meant for it.

Adhesive strength? Grams per cm²? Does it harden throughly or will it stay soft? When removed, does it leave residues on the surfaces? If yes, what solvent must be used to remove those?

Seems like a product many have been waiting.
