Ensure surfaces are clean and free of oils or dust. Use Fusion Cleaner (99.9% isopropyl alcohol) for best results. Thermal paste should be at room temperature or slightly warmed. Apply slowly and evenly for optimal coverage.

Keep the syringe capped and store in a cool, dark place. Avoid sunlight, moisture, and heat to maintain performance over years.

Keep pads in their resealable bag when not in use. Avoid air exposure and store flat to retain flexibility.

Most conventional pastes last 3+ years if stored properly. Liquid-metal and phase-change pastes may require quicker use.

Conventional: Non-conductive, stable, easy to apply.
Liquid-metal: High thermal conductivity, electrically conductive, handle carefully.
Phase-change: Softens when heated, fills microscopic gaps for perfect contact.

Fusion Cleaner is 99.9% pure isopropyl alcohol that removes oils, dust, and residues more effectively than standard cleaners, ensuring optimal thermal contact.

For a CPU (~27x27mm), 3ml covers 25–30 applications, 1.5ml covers ~12–15. Coverage depends on spreading technique.

High-quality compounds and pads maintain stable temperatures and improve thermal conductivity, making them ideal for overclocking.

Conventional pastes are non-conductive. Liquid-metal pastes are conductive — avoid contact with aluminum or sensitive circuits.

Thermal paste application is volume-based. Measuring by milliliters ensures accurate coverage and dosing per application.
