Alphacool Unveils Apex 17 W/mK Thermal Paste

As global Head of Marketing, I'll tell you this.

Our test team has stolen all our equipment so they can do extensive testing on the new and upcoming products. Because there are currently a lot of new products in the works that will help with the conversion and realignment of our brand.
So I had a choice. To take an old board, just to be shown how to apply it, or to spend money on a new motherboard. Of course, such expenses have to be added back into the end customer prices when they add up.
With the picture we do not want to advertise expensive high-end boards, but show how our product looks and can and should be used. Nothing else.

Besides..... being a bit retro is also modern today.

Nice.



Now we just need samples. Oh so many samples.

Sorry, I can't tell you anything about that. I don't have anything to do with sales directly. But I am sure that our sales department is working hard so that the product will soon be available everywhere.

Hi,
Hope you'll update the thread when it's more available outside the alphacool store

I'm very interested in Apex after Igor's Lab recent endorsement. One worry I have is the lack of longevity claims anywhere on the website. Is there any estimate for how long Apex should last before it needs to be re-applied in a typical CPU/GPU application?

I saw the same recommendation

It's got a 2 year shelf life vs MX-4's 8 years - but Igor seems to think alphacools TIM will last longer on a GPU and it's hard to find any evidence of that, other than Igor himself

Anyone else and I'd ignore it, but he's got a solid reputation to make these sort of claims

interestingly most people prefer MX4 on GPU's since other brands have more issues (like NT-H1) where they can pump-out and run on a laptop in mere weeks
