Carbice, a U.S.-based developer and supplier of next-generation carbon nanotube thermal interface materials (TIMs) and high-performance cooling solutions, today announced that the Carbice Ice Pad is shipping with the relaunched special edition 10th Anniversary AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D chip. The bundle brings Carbice's vertically aligned carbon nanotube technology directly to gamers, enabling consistent system performance and long-term reliability. At a time when rising memory costs are making upgrades more expensive, this solution helps extend the life of existing PCs, giving consumers the flexibility to maintain and get more value from their current systems.

Thermal paste providers recommend periodic repasting to maintain peak performance as the material can dry out and be pushed out from between the CPU and heatsink, creating gaps that trap heat and cause throttling. Similarly, dry graphite thermal pads can be brittle, making installation difficult, and delamination causes loss of contact with the chip over time. Carbice's Ice Pad offers an affordable, maintenance-free solution that eliminates the need for reapplication or ongoing performance monitoring. It uses vertically aligned carbon nanotubes that remain structurally stable, connected, and conductive over time. This enables reliable, consistent thermal performance from day one through the full lifetime of the system, rather than performance that degrades after initial use.

Carbice, a U.S.-based developer and supplier of next-generation carbon nanotube thermal interface materials (TIMs) and high-performance cooling solutions, today announced a long-term strategic partnership with Noctua, the Austrian leader in premium quiet PC cooling. Under the agreement, Noctua will exclusively distribute Carbice IP90 thermal pads as a no-maintenance thermal paste alternative for DIY PC builders, and the two companies will collaborate on future product development to bring innovative solutions to PC gamers.

For DIY enthusiasts, this marks the first time Carbice's advanced carbon nanotube thermal pad technology is directly available to consumers worldwide. Whereas most thermal paste manufacturers recommend reapplying it regularly due to degradation, Carbice IP90 thermal pads are engineered to deliver consistent thermal performance throughout the system's lifetime and to improve heat transfer as the system ages.

Carbice, a leader in next-generation carbon nanotube-based thermal interface materials (TIMs) and high-performance cooling expertise, is bringing its space-proven cooling tech to the desktop. Starting today, PC builders can select the Carbice Ice Pad as a premium upgrade option when customizing systems from CyberPowerPC. Engineered with vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, the Ice Pad replaces outdated thermal paste, offering a first-of-its-kind thermal material that was previously unavailable to PC builders. Used in satellites and supercomputers, the Ice Pad is a mess-free, maintenance-free replacement, providing gamers, creators, and enthusiasts with long-term thermal reliability, even under sustained CPU loads or overclocked conditions.

"Games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III or Starfield push your CPU to the edge, tracking frames at 240 Hz, calculating real-time physics, and rendering massive open worlds. But if your thermal paste is drying out or cracking under load, you're leaving performance on the table," said Dr. Baratunde Cola, founder and CEO of Carbice. "Our Ice Pad is engineered to create a tight, durable thermal interface that transfers heat away from your CPU with far greater consistency than thermal paste. No reapplication. No cleanup. No degradation under pressure. It's been proven in space and AI data centers, and now the Ice Pad is the first consumer product to actually deliver full nanoscale physics for high-performance gamers."
