Streacom Announces TX13 High Performance Thermal Paste

[Uskompuf]

Streacom has recently announced their TX13 High Performance Thermal Paste with a novel new application technique designed to reduce wastage. Streacom has opted to offer the TX13 thermal paste in a pack of 5 foil sachets each containing 0.25 g enough for one application on a desktop die (40 mm x 40 mm). Streacom recommends the use of multiple packets when installing on Threadripper or other large dies. The product is designed to have a minimal environmental footprint with the packaging using recycled card and the company committing to planting a tree through the Eden Reforestation Project for each pack sold. When it comes to performance the thermal conductivity has been measured at 13.4 W/m-k with a working temperature range of -30 to 180 °C and a viscosity of 95000 mPa.s. The TX13 paste appears to have performance comparable to competitors but Streacom didn't reveal pricing or availability information.

Gah, what if you dont need the whole packet? seems MORE wasteful

This stuff is claiming it's 1W/mk more efficient than OG Kryonaut. Kryonaut Extreme claims 14.2W/mk.

I've never seen thermal paste come in squeeze packets like this. Interesting.

I'd be hesitant to use it in its intended "one size fits all" way, though. I'm pretty sure that a 70mm^2 GPU die requires less paste than a 700 mm^2 die. The syringe style is better for that.

EDIT: Streacom even admitted the downside, having indicated that they "recommend the use of multiple packets when installing on Threadripper or other large dies." So why bother with packets, then?

honestly i like the green friendly cardboard packaging. no idea who the hell streacom is though. lol

they plant a tree for each pack sold. holy crap. that is nice. hell i might buy a pack of them just for the hell of it. more computer companies need to do this

1.25g and that IF you were able to get it all out of the packet, just need to see the crazy price now.

Hypocrisy at its best using multiple packets while claiming to reduce environmental footprint.

It's a weird product offering, for sure.

For a second, I thought it came in thin 40*40 ready-to-apply sheets, and I got to wondering the kind of material they were using. Now, that would have been an interesting product. But alas...

Tree planting is a nice effort to save face. They're doing it only because the product is so wasteful, they know they'll go under fire... At the end, it's a wasteful use of brain power.

A fluffy press release from a company no one has ever heard of before quickly loses its shine. A little more info about the paste itself would have been welcome.

Streacom is not really an unknown entity. They mostly create fanless ITX cases but they also do some other things in more niche and SFF markets. I use their BC1 mini in my main PC and a pico-PSU clone branded by them in my NAS. As for this particular product I can't say anything other than the packaging seems weird and the corpo-speech is strong in this press release, but the company itself is legitimate.

I know the guys who did the Open Benchtable with them.

The cheapest ones aleays came like this instead of a syringe because it's cheaper.
