Maingear Debuts New Thermal Interface Material: Meet the T1000

Speading thermal paste correctly is critical in keeping your CPU cool but ensuring a thin evenly spead application can be difficult.  Maingear offers different solution:

Today, Maingear has launched what they claim is a genuine advance over existing thermal pastes. The Epic T1000 kit uses a PCMA (phase change metal alloy) as an interface material between CPU and heatsink. Unlike a standard paste, which is (hopefully) applied with a razor or other straight-edge, Maingear's T1000 is a transparent wafer at room temperature that one lays over the CPU before attaching a heatsink.

The higher cost and the fact that you need to have a new waffer each time you change cpus and/or heatsinks might make hardware enthusiast shy away from it.
