Alphacool has introduced the Apex 2 Thermal Grease, a new version of its thermal paste designed to help modern CPUs and GPUs run cooler. The company says the updated formula offers better heat transfer than the previous Apex thermal grease.

The new Apex 2 was developed by Alphacool together with Halnziye. It is designed for systems that produce a lot of heat, including gaming PCs, overclocked builds, workstations, and servers.

One of the main improvements is its performance under high thermal loads. Alphacool says the paste works especially well around areas where heat is strongly concentrated, such as GPU hotspots. Better heat transfer in these areas can help reduce temperatures during demanding workloads.

Apex 2 also uses an electrically non-conductive formula. This means it is safer to use around sensitive components because the thermal grease does not conduct electricity.

The paste has also been designed with a balanced consistency. This should make it easier to apply and spread evenly across the surface of a CPU or GPU.

Alphacool says the Apex 2 offers improved cooling compared with its previous thermal grease while being optimized for current processors and graphics cards.

The Alphacool Apex 2 Thermal Grease is now available through the company’s online store with an MSRP of €9.95.
