“Arctic Silver Matrix Thixotropic Premium Thermal Compound offers 2-12 degrees C lower CPU running temperatures than standard thermal compounds.”

Developed in conjunction with TIM Consultants and based on their acclaimed 0098 grease, Matrix Thixotropic Premium Thermal Compound offers optimum performance where the best possible thermal coupling is required between heat source and heatsink. It is designed for a wide range of applications including modern high-power CPUs and GPUs and high-performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions.

Thermal Matrix

The unique blend of micronised zinc oxide, aluminium oxide and aluminium particles in silicone base oil forms a thermally conductive matrix that provides class-leading performance and exceptional long-term stability.

Performance Attributes

Matrix's silicone suspension fluid and conductive fillers are engineered for easy application and superior surface wetting. This enhances performance and offers better heat transfer than other Arctic Silver retail market thermal compounds. During initial use, Matrix wets the thermal surfaces and fills the microscopic voids and valleys. With time, pressure, heat and vibration, Matrix achieves superior thermal contact between the surfaces.

Electrical Insulator

Matrix is not electrically conductive.

Performance

Offers 2-12°C lower CPU full load core temperatures than standard thermal compounds or thermal pads when measured with a calibrated thermal diode embedded in the hottest section of the CPU core.

Break-In Period:

Due to the unique carrier fluid used and the shapes and sizes of the thermally conductive particles in Matrix, it will take a minimum of 300 hours and multiple thermal cycles to achieve maximum particle to particle thermal conduction and for the heatsink to CPU interface to reach maximum conductivity. (This period will be longer in a system without a fan on the heatsink.) On systems measuring actual internal core temperatures via the CPU's internal diode, the measured temperature will often drop significantly over this "break-in" period. This break-in will occur during the normal use of the computer as long as the computer is turned off from time to time and the interface is allowed to cool to room temperature. Once the break-in is complete, the computer can be left on permanently if desired.
