Carbice® carbon nanotube thermal pad

Superior long-term stability

After run-in, performance remains stable for years and years

Safe and easy to apply

Convenient “peel, press, peel” application, simple removal

Tailored for AMD Ryzen™

Ultra-thin 90µm profile and 33x33mm size for AM5 & AM4 processors

Leveraging Carbice’s novel, space-grade carbon nanotube technology, the NT-CP1 is a premium-quality, easy-to-apply thermal pad that offers superior long-term stability and peace of mind.

While thermal pastes and most other thermal pads gradually lose performance over time due to pump-out, delamination, cracking and other degradation effects, Carbice® pads keep improving their performance over the first few hundred to a few thousand thermal cycles. This is possible thanks to the pad’s robust mechanics, phase-change polymer coating and carbon nanotubes that incrementally conform to surface microstructures, enhancing the heat transfer rate with time and thermal cycling. Once this initial activation phase is completed, the NT-CP1 can maintain stable, maintenance-free performance for years and years. As such, it is ideal for everyone who seeks to rule out thermal issues due to degradation and doesn’t ever want to bother with reapplying paste.

Unlike other carbon or graphite-based thermal pads that can be brittle, slippery and highly electrically conductive, Carbice® pads are sturdy, safe and easy to install using a straightforward “peel, press, peel” process. The NT-CP1’s aluminium backbone makes it surprisingly robust and easy to remove. The slightly tacky polymer coating helps to keep the pad in place once pressed onto the CPU and ensures that the contact surfaces are electrically non-conductive before usage unless the polymer layer is penetrated, which gives extra peace of mind.

The AM5/4 version has been carefully fine-tuned and validated for optimal performance on AMD Ryzen™ CPUs and APUs. With its ultra-thin 90µm profile and precut 33x33mm size, it fits both AM5 and AM4 socket processors.

Overall, the NT-CP1 Carbice® pad is an innovative premium choice for users looking for a clean, convenient TIM solution with reliable long-term performance, space-grade dependability and zero maintenance.


Key features

Lower temperatures over time

Whereas thermal pastes, phase-change thermal pads and even some graphene sheets tend to gradually lose performance over time, Carbice® carbon nanotube pads keep improving over the first few hundred to a few thousand thermal cycles. This is possible due to the phase-change polymer reflowing as well as the nanotubes wicking into the micro-cavities of the heatsink and cold plate surfaces.

Easy to apply and remove

Unsure how much thermal paste to apply and which method to use? Tired of cleaning thermal paste residues? The “peel, press, peel” simplicity of the NT-CP1 takes the guesswork out of the TIM game: Remove the protective liner on one side, firmly press the pad onto the CPU for ~10 seconds, remove the protective liner from the other side – done! Thanks to its sturdy mechanics, the NT-CP1 is also easy to remove with minimal residue after removal.

Stable performance, zero maintenance

Unlike thermal pastes or other thermal pads that eventually need to be replaced, opting for the NT-CP1 means you will never have to worry about maintenance or loss in thermal performance. With tests confirming performance stability for more than 100,000 cycles, you can count on running the pad for 10 years or longer – chances are it will outlive your CPU!

Ideal for AMD Ryzen™

Only 90µm thin and precut to 33x33mm, the AM5/4 version of the NT-CP1 is tailored and validated for optimal performance on AM5 and AM4-based AMD Ryzen™ CPUs. While the integrated heat-spreader of AM4 CPUs is slightly larger, there’s hardly any heat transfer through the edges of the IHS, so there is no loss in thermal performance when the pad is placed in the centre.
