It has been quiet on the thermal paste front for awhile after Arctic Silver 5 was released. Now though we have a new contender on the market from Coolermaster with their Nanofusion. They are here now to also get into the thermal paste market. Coolermaster has in the past made thermal paste which performed decent but not as good as the AC5, therefore we have decided to compare this new Nanofusion paste to Arctic Silver 5 and Arctic Silver Ceramique which are two well performing thermal pastes on the market.

There is not much to say about this little tube of thermal paste, is came in a plastic see through cover and on the back there are some specifications about the thermal paste or "goop" as it's also called.

Inside you will find an instruction manual on how to use the thermal paste and also a small card to smooth the paste out on the core. Remember that when you use thermal paste put on as thin as possible but still cover the whole core. This means more is not better. The right picture shows difference on the three thermal pastes that we will be testing with today. From the left we have the Nanofusion, Arctic Silver 5, and Arctic Silver Ceramique. The Nanofusion is a bit drier than the others and harder to put in. The AS5 is easier to work with and the Ceramique has the same type of consistence as the Nanofusion.
