Coracer Launches Cutting-Edge Thermal Pads for AMD Socket AM5
Coracer, previously focused on Intel processors, has expanded its innovative thermal pad offerings to include AMD’s popular Socket AM5. This move is stirring excitement among tech enthusiasts, who are eager for enhanced cooling solutions in the high-demand AMD processor market.
Key Features and Specifications
The Coracer thermal pads, previously under Segotep for Intel processors, now offer AMD compatibility with a square 32 x 32 mm pad design. This shape simplifies installation on processors, enhancing user convenience and production efficiency.
Built with a graphene and silicon composite, the GPE-01 pad boasts an outstanding thermal conductivity of 130 W/m·K. This surpasses traditional solutions, including the liquid metal Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut at 73 W/m·K, and significantly outperforms standard thermal paste options.
Durability and Market Potential
Coracer claims a remarkable 10-year lifespan for its thermal pads, addressing common issues with short-lived thermal interfaces. While independent tests and pricing details are pending, the Intel-equivalent pad showcases a market price of around $15 on Chinese platforms.
The true impact of the GPE-01’s thermal performance remains to be seen in practical applications, as other elements in the heat transfer chain may also play critical roles. However, Coracer’s promise of long-lasting efficiency presents an enticing proposition for users seeking reliable performance over extended periods.
As Coracer steps into the AMD arena, the anticipation surrounding these advanced thermal solutions continues to grow. Stay tuned for further updates and independent reviews that will assess the true capabilities of these promising thermal pads.
