Thermal grease Alphacool 13009 16 W/m·K Grey

Alphacool 13009 16 W/m·K Grey thermal grease is a high-conductivity compound formulated to improve heat transfer between electronic components and heatsinks. With a rated thermal conductivity of 16 W/m·K and a neutral grey appearance, this paste is intended for use where efficient dissipation of heat is required to maintain stable temperatures in CPUs, GPUs and other power-dense components. The product is supplied as a single pack sized to fit typical workspaces and applicators.

Advantages

The thermal grease offers a high thermal conductivity value that supports efficient heat transfer across microscopic surface irregularities between a chip and its cooler. Its grey formulation provides visual contrast during application for even spreading. The compound is non-conductive electrically (check manufacturer guidance for specific conditions) and is packaged for convenient storage and handling in hobbyist or professional settings.

Suitable for

• Thermal interface between CPUs and air or liquid coolers
• Thermal interface between GPUs and heatsinks
• Heat transfer improvement for power transistors and voltage regulators
• Reapplying or upgrading thermal paste during system maintenance

Key specifications

• Thermal conductivity: 16 W/m·K
• Color: Grey
• Form: Paste (thermal compound)
• Pack quantity: 1 piece
• Package dimensions: 105 mm (width) × 260 mm (depth)

How to use

Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly to remove old thermal compound, dust and grease before applying the Alphacool thermal paste. Apply a small, controlled amount to the center of the heat source and mount the heatsink according to the cooler manufacturer's instructions to allow even spread under pressure. After assembly, verify cooler seating and monitor temperatures under load to confirm expected thermal performance.

Usage recommendations

Store the product in a cool, dry place and avoid contamination of the compound during application. Use only the amount required to fill microscopic gaps; excessive paste may reduce effectiveness. Follow component and cooler manufacturers' guidance for torque and mounting procedures when tightening to ensure uniform contact and optimal heat transfer.
