Igor: GEEKTC GX-300 Review: Groundbreaking Graphene Pad for the AI Elite, Now Available for CPUs and GPUs in Your Own PC
....
The next sheet could be even more interesting for end users
The HCF-010-03 cutout tested today is not the end of this story, either. The next step is the HCF-013-03. According to the information available to me, this version is intended to achieve a BLT in the region of 125 µm at approximately 60 PSI. The tested GX-300 required nearly 100 PSI to do so. If this greater compliance is confirmed under the same laboratory conditions, it would be highly interesting for the end-user market. Achieving good contact with a lower required load would be a practical improvement. For now, however, this is a claim to be verified, not a result to be taken for granted. I will therefore compare not only the thickness achieved, but also pressure, temperature, recovery and overall thermal resistance.
There is also the announced availability: according to my preliminary information, a larger German company is expected to officially introduce the HCF-013-03 in Germany shortly and offer it directly here. At this point, no company name, binding date or price has been publicly confirmed. However, the planned distribution would make the technology much more accessible to readers who do not want to trace an international materials supply chain before installing their cooler. That is precisely why a follow-up test is important. Not because I already need a better winner today, but because the right material version for a standard CPU or GPU may differ from the one suited to a large industrial accelerator. The version must fit the application, not the other way around.
Conclusion
The GEEKTC GX-300 is one of the most interesting approaches in this test for me, because it dispels a common misconception: a relatively thick, solid sheet does not have to be a poor thermal compromise. On the contrary, under suitable loading, the tested material achieves low overall resistance, while the TTV10 test also demonstrates highly convincing performance at high power density. My praise is for what was actually observed: the pronounced pressure dependence, with a favorable operating range; low resistance despite the remaining BLT; a good temperature profile under high load; and no discernible progression of global degradation in the original cyclic evaluation period. These are concrete strengths that need neither an invented service-life guarantee nor a blanket claim of superiority over every paste. They are simply substantiated facts.
I therefore see considerable potential for this material in high-performance graphics cards and mechanically demanding CPU installations. This is exactly where the material concept can become a genuine game changer, provided the cutout, pressure and contact geometry are all suited to one another. Its practical benefit does not lie in circumventing physics, but in being able to solve a more challenging contact problem with a more suitable material. After almost a week of laboratory work, I am therefore particularly looking forward to directly comparing the next version. With the HCF-013-03 and planned distribution in Germany, a previously little-noticed industrial solution could become a genuinely relevant end-user product. And perhaps I will even step outside my comfort zone and get directly involved myself for the first time. So if you ever see the word “advertising” on an article like this, at least you will know why.
So paste is not disappearing from my workshop, no. But the GX-300 has earned a permanent place in my laboratory. And PTM will no longer retain its often taken-for-granted role simply because we know too little about the alternatives. But I will dutifully use up what I have here, because I believe in sustainability. Buy more, though? I can think of no reason other than the price
