Upgrade Your PC's Cooling System - AI 'Thermal Paste' Infused with Nanodiamond Technology From Cooler Master, Comes in CryoFuze Vee
Master Effortless Heat Management with the New ‘Idiot-Proof’ Thermal Paste Applicator From X-Apply - Arriving Soon
The steady stream of concerned newbie PC builders worried about thebest thermal paste application has spurred the creation of a new ‘idiot-proof’ thermal paste applicator called X-Apply. This applicator should allow anyone to easily apply a perfect layer of thermal paste.Igor’s Lab , which has helped develop the new products, tested the X-Apply stencil. The stencil allows the formation of an ideal pattern of thermal paste with an even distribution.
Most methods of thermal paste installation work about the same, but the final application actually ends up with an uneven distribution on the CPU’s IHS and often leaves part of the IHS without paste, which isn’t optimal. X-Apply looks to fill those gaps with a special stencil.

If ordering a plastic helper tool for installing your thermal paste sounds like overkill to you, you aren’t alone. Learninghow to apply thermal paste to your CPU is dead simple, and there are many application methods. Enthusiasts can tell you just how easy it actually is to just place a pea-sized dollop of TIM and forget about it. To be fair to users who aren’t comfortable replacing CPU coolers or maintaining them, though, removing even this step from the thermal paste application (or re-application) process may help.
Other stencils are available, but they tend to come bundled with thermal paste, likeThermaltake TG-50 . Some even have wider applications that aim to improve spread, likeCooler Master ‘sMasterGel Pro . However, having the option of purchasing another stencil solution separately will have some appeal.

Igor’s Lab says that X-Apply isn’t a retail product just yet, but it will be very soon. It will be available in the forms of X-Apply AMD for AM5 boards, X-Apply Intel for LGA1700 and 1851 boards, and finally, X-Apply X as a universal film that can be cut to size for “all kinds of applications.” As of now, the official ETA is “a few weeks,” and a domain has been reserved forX-Apply.com , though it doesn’t yet seem to be in use.

In any case, we suppose the X-Apply may end up being useful for an upcoming generation of new PC builders, especially in educational settings. Of course, it will be most useful for those who get anxious when applying thermal paste since it removes technique from the equation almost entirely.
Thermal testing with a 360mm AIO done by Igor’s Lab also points toward X-Apply working well, delivering a roughly 4C reduction in temperatures over standard application methods. That isn’t a world-breaking difference, but it does at least show that the stencil applies the paste in a workable fashion. As long as X-Apply isn’t gratuitously overpriced, there really doesn’t seem to be any harm in these easy TIM applicators. Unfortunately, we won’t learn pricing until the product comes to market.
