What is the thermal conductivity? null

Thermal conductivity is 5.5 W/mK but more importantly the resistance (that’s what matters for a grease) is 0.05C-cm2/W at 40 psi of pressure. I measured it using an ASTM D5470 setup.

The amount of heat that transfers between the cpu and cooling device.

The value was not specified on the container.

If you go to Corsair.com and look up the product. You should be able to find the answer on there website. I hope this helps.

This is a heat transfer question that one would see at the start of a engineering course so I will try to explain it simply. There is no such thing as cold. There is only heat. If something feels cold to you then it has a low amount of heat in it. Heat is energy so we call this heat in units of joules. When something like a computer runs it generates heat, computers will build up heat as it runs, this can cause damage because parts of the machine expand when heated too much. So we need to remove the heat. This is where thermal conductivity comes in. Thermal conductivity is how well a material will move heat from one object to another for a layman. A form of this is conduction such as heating a pan on a stove. Pan can move a lot of heat into itself and into your food from the stove. Its the same with this paste. The more thermally conductive the material the more heat it can move at a given time. For a cpu we want to remove as much heat from the chip as we can then dump it into the radiator. In this case for you bigger number means better. Thermal conductivity is more complicated than this but this is essentially what you need to know.
