ModMyMods MP-9 ModPaste Thermal Compound Now Available

[btarunr]

ModMyMods has developed a brand new thermal compound made right here in the USA with international materials! While most thermal compounds are derived from a primarily ceramic, metallic base or silicone. We have developed an effective synthetic industrial oil based compound that is far less electrically conductive while still maintaining a highly effective heat transference between a chip and heatsink/waterblock. The ModMyMods MP-9 Modpaste comes packaged in a rubber capped borosilicate glass syringe that boasts an impressive three year shelf life, removable, reusable applicator tip and a magnetically closed carrying case.

A bit pricey. I wonder how well it works?

 

[MachineLearning]

A luer lock syringe like that will be very frustrating with thicker pastes. The needle tip supplied will also waste paste in its chamber. That last bit of paste inside won't come out easily, and some will get everywhere after disassembly if you don't clean the tip well. The 3 year shelf life is not great. There's no real low temperature rating. 50-200⁰c constant doesn't count, what about storage at lower temperatures or working at negative temperatures (XOC)? Negative is a niche case but surely they've tested their paste thoroughly enough to know?

Questionable English makes me wonder if their physical product is sloppy too. Never heard of this brand. Don't think I'll be trying at those prices...

Questionable English

What do you mean?

Just the opening bit.

Second full stop should be a comma for one longer sentence. Middle & last sentences are clunky. It's nitpicky on my part, I know.

Are you one of those xenophobic people that think the Queen's English is the only correct English? American English from an American company is wrong in his eyes apparently.

Honestly can’t tell if that post is satirical or just confused

I have other concerns about their product. First of all, in the top category, 9W/mK is not a big deal. There were 15W/mK pastes like 15 years ago. Also in these category electrical conductivity is also a not existant thing except liquid metal which is not a paste, so different category. Also "international materials"? Looks like "import" became a curse word since the war against China...

The packaging, while very distinct, has to cost half or more of each unit.
Sigh.
Being that they're one of the few wcing focused etailers left. I suppose I'll have to give it a try the next time I'm over their way.

100%
Looking at at now and even noticing the neodymium magnets -WT*??? they just want to loose $$$?
Imagine Sandy Munr's reaction to this packaging, it's gonna be Gold LOL

Bit xenophobic, much? They are based out of New York/New Jersey and operate a web-shop that focuses mainly on custom loop water cooling and parts. They also do custom services like airflow focused top and front panels for Phanteks and Be Quiet! cases. Couple years ago when I owned a 10700K and a Phanteks Evolv MATX case I ordered a custom front and top panel for the case to help with airflow. The gentleman who owns the place was very helpful as well, when I asked if they did custom graphics as well. He did what I wanted, packed all the items up really well and answered any questions I had. Nice little shop.

 

[claes]

I don’t think anyone here using the term xenophobic knows what it means. machinelearning lives in Connecticut and pointed out a misplaced period/incomplete sentence, which is a grammatical error in both the king’s and American English and, well, every language that I know of.

Or maybe the company’s owner is foreign? Then maybe you all are using the term correctly!

edit: nope, a native New Yorker, born and raised

 

[TheDeeGee]

Needs GPU pumpout testing, that's the most important these days when it comes to selecting your thermal paste.

 

[Chrispy_]

Needs a review. The packaging and syringe is (as mentioned) not cheap so for $7.50 you're paying for $7.40 of packaging.

Nobody in the market for superior thermal paste is going to take a gamble on something untested with very ordinary thermal conductivity values (typically 5-12W/mK for thermal pastes and ~75W/mK for liquid metal).

 

[Oberon]

Luckily the thermal conductivity rating means basically nothing in terms of performance, just like airflow and static pressure ratings mean nothing for fans.

 

[maxfly]

They would likely send out a tube for review no problem. When they released their coolants some time ago they sent out quite a few bottles for review.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Not sure why they wasted money on packaging this product

Mods... shipping is always higher than others but their clear soft tubing is pretty good
ModMyMods 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD Flexible PVC Tubing - Crystal Clear (MOD-0003) - 3/8” ID x 5/8” OD Soft Tubing - Tubing ModMyMods.com - PC Watercooling Parts and Accessories
They used to have lots of decent test benches

Their premix fluids though do nasty stuff after one year so I went back to mayhems and now xt-1 which last up to five years

Excuse me?
If a company is giving a press release, and they're based in an English speaking country, take the time to proof-read your press release...
Sloppy press release from an American company probably = sloppy product. That was my logic.
Xenophobic... What??? Do you know what that even means?

That depends on how those number were achieved. The problem is that there is no establish standard for measuring heat conduction. It's all so very subjective. So one company might honestly & truthfully publish 9W/mK and get a better performance than another company's honest & truthful 15W/mK. Each claim is valid within the context of each testing method, but not everyone uses the exact same testing methods, because there is no established standards. So the only way to actually know how it performs is to do real world tests against known good performers.

True! Needs direct comparative testing.

Enough of the Xenophobia talk.

Get on the topic and stay there.

Hi,
Looks like price verses performance is doomed though
They do post stuff on amazon often but shipping costs still suck.

The people that own and run it started out at ppcs...so yeah.
