Maxtor Thermal CTG8 12.8W/mK Paste

Maxtor Thermal CTG8 is a 2.0g syringe of thermal compound rated at 12.8W/mK conductivity. It is formulated for CPU and GPU interfaces in gaming or high-TDP systems. The non-conductive grease eliminates short-circuit risk during installation. It suits builders who need reliable heat transfer between die and cooler.

Syringe Packaging with Disassembly Tools

The package includes disassembly tools and a reusable syringe for repeat applications. Users clean the surface, place a central dot, then spread to roughly A4-paper thickness with the supplied scraper. This method ensures uniform coverage without air pockets. Buyers who prefer pre-applied pads or larger bulk containers will not find those options here.

Operating Range -50 to 250 Celsius

The compound remains stable from -50 to 250 C, supporting sustained loads without pump-out or drying. Low volatility keeps thermal resistance consistent over time, reducing fan-ramp noise. Proper application can extend component lifespan by 20 to 40 percent according to the 2025 ITSMA report. Users seeking sub-ambient or extreme ln2 cooling should verify suitability separately.

Questions about this item

What does the 12.8 W/mK thermal conductivity rating mean for CPU and GPU temperatures?

The 12.8 W/mK rating enables efficient heat transfer from the processor to the cooler, keeping temperatures lower during heavy loads and overclocking.

What volume does the 2.0 g syringe provide and how much area can it cover?

The 2.0 g syringe supplies enough paste for multiple CPU or GPU applications when spread to a thickness comparable to an A4 sheet.

What is the correct way to apply the paste using the included scraper tool?

Clean the surface, place a dab at the centre of the CPU or GPU, then use the supplied scraper to spread it evenly to roughly the thickness of A4 paper.
