CryoFuze 5's ability to work from -50C to 240C.

Intel approved!

"The company uses zinc oxide and aluminum powder to make the colorful thermal paste..."

I read somewhere that it's not a good idea for zinc and copper to have contact with each other for longer periods of time. Many heatsinks are made of copper.

Ah, AI thermal paste!..... Well that didn't take long, the milking of everything AI continues!

It seems Cooler Master (and probably some users of this paste) are under the impressions that their paste will be in full visible glory to dazzle anyone who cares.

Zinc oxide has been a main component in some thermal pastes for a LOOONNNGGGG time, decades, id say its pretty safe to use hah. Although it may discolor the copper base plate, it doesn't harm anything.

So what is new I thought there have been colored thermal paste for a while, if I remember they are sold in japan and are also scented.
Maybe its just because a larger cooling company started selling stupid stuff too.

'nano-molecular technology' to deliver stable performance

In other words we have a fancy blender!

Is it any better than last year's "blockchain thermal paste"?

What kind of sloopy journalism is this from Tomshardware? See for yourself... The stability of Cooler Master's colorful thermal paste adds another advantage, especially for overclockers who aim to get the most out of their silicon. If you're one of the few who use liquid nitrogen to cool your PC, you'll appreciate the CryoFuze 5's ability to work from -50C to 240C.

Why would LN2 overclockers use this new thermal paste that isn't intended to be used below -50C ? They operate more with temps down to -192C. In short... This fancy colored thermal paste is useless for them.

This is a MONSTER of a marketing pitch

Probably this?

Key differences here: It's zinc oxide, so it's already "corroded", and there is no water (or at least there shouldn't be)

 

[SyCoREAPER]

lol this is so pointless. It's like caring what color your fluid is in a liquid cooling setup with opaque tubing.

 

[Marine6680]

Are we sure it is Ai and not AL for aluminum?(AL but lower case L, because in many fonts capital i and lower case L look the same)

 

[Albert.Thomas]

Well, I guess I'm gonna have to test this.

Well, I guess I'm gonna have to test this.

Make sure you test if having matching led colors on the cooler makes it run better

The serious question is can you mix them to make custom colors? Inquiring minds want to know.

That was the first thing i though about too hah, i hope so. Even though it 100% does not matter since you'll never see it after everything is put together, maybe i want my paste to be a shade of purple lol.

 

[Albert.Thomas]

Just as an FYI, outside of China this paste will be sold as "CryoFuze Prism"

Dating myself here, but when Compact Disc finally gained traction, literally everything audio related was "Digital" or "Digital Ready". I realize now I have been around the block at least one too many times for any marketing schtick to work on me.

My recent favorite was the supersonic WiFi from Comcast/Xfinity. Just doesn't make any sense.
