We've all been there, right? Thermal paste splattered all over the CPU socket? No? Just me and that guy from The Verge? Whatever, the prospect of replacing thermal paste with a neat, long-lasting pad is still intriguing. And that's exactly what cooling specialist Carbice and PC maker Cyberpower claim to have delivered thanks to the novel use of carbon nanotubes.
Of course, carbon nanotubes are one of those wonder materials that seem almost endlessly useful. Well, in theory. To the list of possible carbon nanotube applications that includes super capacitors, space elevators and nanoscale drug delivery, you can now add the very real prospect of CPU cooling.
