Austrian cooling specialist Noctua has launched the NT-CP1 AM5/4 Carbice carbon nanotube thermal pad for AMD processors. Developed through a June 2026 partnership with Carbice, the $24.95 pad utilizes vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes for heat transfer.
The 33x33mm pad features a 90µm profile with an aluminum backbone and a nanoscale polymer coating. CEO Roland Mossig confirmed the US-made product uses recycled aluminum and waste carbon gas to grow the nanotubes, technology originally built for aerospace.
This release offers a high-tech alternative to traditional thermal paste for AM4 and AM5 users. By leveraging Carbice's specialized nanotechnology, Noctua provides a sustainable cooling solution that brings advanced aerospace materials to the consumer market.
