20g Ceramic Thermal Paste

The StarTech HEATGREASE20 is a 20g tube of white ceramic-based compound designed to improve heat transfer between a CPU and heatsink. It uses silicone and metal oxide fillers to fill microscopic surface imperfections that trap air. The electrically non-conductive formula prevents short circuits if paste contacts surrounding components. It suits system builders and technicians performing CPU cooler installations or maintenance.

Simple Syringe Application

The paste dispenses from a tube directly onto the processor heat spreader for manual spreading or pressure mounting. Its ceramic-silicone consistency resists separation during storage and stays pliable during installation. Low bleed of under 0.05 percent after 24 hours at 200°C means minimal pump-out over thermal cycles. Evaporation loss stays below 0.001 percent under the same test, so reapplication intervals remain long.

Conductivity Limits for Standard Cooling

Thermal conductivity reaches 1.066 W/mK with resistance under 0.195 °C-m2/W, suitable for stock and moderate overclocking scenarios. The material cannot match the heat flow of liquid metal or high-end carbon pastes used in extreme cooling. Builders targeting maximum frequency headroom on high-wattage CPUs will need higher-conductivity alternatives. The compound contains no electrically conductive metals, eliminating bridging risk on exposed dies or substrates.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the thermal paste is working correctly after applying it to the CPU?

Monitor CPU temperatures under load; effective heat transfer between the processor and heatsink should keep the CPU running cooler.

What does the 20g tube contain and is a spreader tool included?

The tube holds 20g of white ceramic-based compound made of 50% silicone, 30% metal oxide and 20% carbon compounds; no spreader tool is included.

Is the 20g size sufficient for multiple CPU installations or should I buy a larger tube?

The 20g volume provides enough compound for several applications depending on the amount used per CPU.
