Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Non-conductive ceramic formula, safe around pins and SMD components
  • ✓ Cuts CPU full-load core temps by 2-10°C
  • ✓ Won't separate, run, migrate or bleed over time
  • ✓ Pure electrical insulator, contains no metal

Cons

  • ✗ 2.7g syringe small for builders doing frequent reapplications
  • ✗ Ceramic paste trails metal/liquid-metal pastes on peak cooling
  • ✗ Higher viscosity needs even spreading for best contact
  • ✗ No spreader tool or cleaning wipes included

Manufacturer description

An oil mixture, improved thermal filler properties and increased particle deagglomeration, dispersal and density enhance Ceramique 2's thermal performance and overall stability. Ceramique 2 is engineered to not separate, run, migrate or bleed. Ceramique 2 does not contain any metal or other electrically conductive materials. It is a pure electrical insulator, neither electrically conductive nor capacitive.
