Thermaltake Intros TG-60 Liquid Metal Thermal Compound

btarunr · Aug 30, 2022

Thermaltake today introduced the TG-60, a high-performance thermal interface material made of liquid-metal. The TG-60 offers an extreme thermal conductivity of 52 W/mK, but comes with all the downsides of any liquid-metal TIM—it's electrically conductive, and requires that your CPU cooler's contact surface have nickel-plating (without which it will corrode through any exposed-copper surfaces, including copper base-plates, vapor-chamber plates, or direct-contact heat-pipes. Luckily the selection of nickel-plated copper DIY water-blocks and air coolers are fairly broad. The TG-60 includes an applicator, a nozzle with the syringe, and a cleaning gauze. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Unless this is better than conductonaut or liquid pro/ultra, it's pointless.

Anything at all special about this stuff versus generic galinstan(yes, I know that's a brand name) or conductonaut?

Staying away from Thermaltake products in general is usually good policy.
