ModMyMods MP-9 ModPaste Electronics Thermal Compound - 1g (MOD-0316)

ModMyMods MP-9 ModPaste is a gray thermal compound for processors and other chips, based on a synthetic industrial oil instead of silicone. It has a thermal conductivity of 9.0 W/mK and low electrical conductivity. MP-9 is made in the USA and comes as 1 g in a rubber capped borosilicate glass syringe, packed in a hard case with a magnetic lid together with an applicator tip and finger cots.

Properties

• Type: Thermal compound, non-silicone
• Base: Synthetic industrial oil
• Thermal conductivity: 9.0 W/mK
• Electrical conductivity: Low
• Net weight: 1 g
• Color: Gray
• Made in: USA

Synthetic oil base instead of silicone

Most thermal compounds use a ceramic or metallic filler in a silicone base. MP-9 uses a synthetic industrial oil as its base, which keeps the electrical conductivity low while still moving heat well from the chip to the heatsink or water block.

Glass syringe with reusable tip

The paste comes in a 1.0 ml borosilicate glass syringe with a rubber cap. A 14 gauge blunt applicator tip fits onto the syringe for precise dosing; it is removable and reusable. Keep the rubber cap on between uses. MP-9 has a shelf life of three years.

Carry case and finger cots

Syringe and tip travel in a hard case with a magnetically closing lid. Under the protective foam of the case you find 2 latex finger cots for spreading the paste evenly across the chip without touching it with bare fingers.

How far it goes

On a 38 x 38 mm test surface the 1 g syringe gives an average of 5 applications.

Application

Clean the chip and the cooler base. Apply a small amount of paste to the center of the chip, or spread a thin even layer with a finger cot, then mount the cooler. Low electrical conductivity is not the same as none: keep the paste on the chip surface and wipe off any that reaches the components around it.
