Noctua aims to effectively banish thermal paste horror stories and gooped-up CPU sockets

Noctua has announced a long-term partnership with Carbice, a company specializing in carbon nanotube thermal interface materials. Noctua will become the exclusive retail distributor of Carbice's thermal pads, with the first product, the NT-CP1 AM5/4, launching in September 2026. This collaboration aims to offer PC enthusiasts a mess-free and maintenance-free alternative to traditional thermal paste, with potential for future product development.
