Thermal compound is a material used to improve heat transfer between surfaces.
Hi, I purchased this “industrial” thermal compound from a local seller who said it outperforms other options. The rating listed is 0.90 W/m.K. I’m not sure what that means, but I noticed two different discussions about thermal paste—one claimed lower values are better, while another warned against them. Now I’m unsure whether to stick with the original paste from my CPU or try this new one for my HTS02S model.
The unit is known as Watts per Meter Kelvin. Generally, the higher the value, the better. A reading of 0.9 is very low and probably won’t allow effective heat transfer, especially for today’s CPUs and GPUs.
