Corsair tm30 review in Spanish (full analysis)

Corsair never neglects its products or stops thinking about the needs of users, which is why it recently presented its first Corsair TM30 thermal paste. This thermal paste has been one of his new creations along with the new series of cables for PSU and Riser for graphics cards. In this analysis we will see what this thermal paste offers us by performing performance and temperature tests.

First of all, we must thank Corsair for their trust in giving us this product.

Corsair TM30 technical characteristics

Unboxing and description of properties

The Corsair TM30 is the first thermal paste of the Corsair brand, and not for that reason it should be bad, the brand has well studied the market and the available compounds to create a paste of first quality and at the level of the best.

This Corsair thermal paste comes in a presentation similar to that of other manufacturers. It consists of a cardboard similar to that of glues, with a syringe inserted in a plastic mold of medium and flexible hardness to ensure that the product does not suffer extrusion in the plunger and the consequent loss of useful content.

In addition, we observe a lot of information about the product in both the front and rear, along with a description and main thermal characteristics.

We extract the Corsair TM30 thermal paste syringe from its cardboard to find a completely packaged product without air and with a protector at the application tip to avoid contact with air and loss of thermal material.

The thermal paste content available in each syringe is 3 grams (3g), enough to install at least 3 large CPUs such as MAD Ryzen Threadripper or about 5 or 6 CPUs from Intel. It is not too much, but it is enough for the majority of users who install their CPU once or twice every several years, in this sense it would be considered to take out a variant of at least 10 grams.

Thanks to this syringe, it will be easier to apply the content to the CPU and thus use only what we need.

As for chemical properties and thermal benefits, this Corsair TM30 uses a thermal compound based on zinc oxide, a non-toxic compound and does not contain volatile substances that could endanger our health. Anyway, we do not recommend that you eat it because heartburn does.

Regarding thermal properties, it is a paste with a thermal conductivity of 3.8 W / mK (Watts / Kelvin meter) in units of the international system. For its part, the resistivity or thermal resistance is only 0.0645 C cm ² / W (degrees per square centimeter / Watts), so the heat transfer between one surface and another will be sensational, just 0, 06 ^o C will be retained in the paste.

The kinematic viscosity is 2300 KcP (centipoises) and the density is 2.5 g / cm ³, which, if we consider that the density of water is 1 g / cm ³, is a really easy paste to distribute and to fit all the encapsulation and pores that exist in the heatsink.

Test bench and thermal performance

After extensively looking at its thermal properties and chemical composition, we turn to see the results it has produced in our highly demanding test bench.

TESTING BENCH
Processor:	Intel Core i9-9900K
Base plate:	ASUS Maximus XI Formula
RAM:	32GB DDR4 G.Skill Sniper X
Heatsink	Asus ROG Ryujin 240
HDD	Samsung 860 EVO
Graphic card	Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti
Power supply	Corsair AX860i.

In addition, we have compared the performance of this Corsair TM30 paste with one of the reference pastes on the market, the Arctic MX4, of course with the same test bench, and subjecting it to the same stress during the same time.

Well, MX4 will be one of the best, but the paste created by Corsair lowers the CPU by up to two degrees when it is at maximum load, and one at rest, it is not too much, but anything that is downgrade is positive. We must say that the work done by the brand is outstanding.

Final words and conclusion about Corsair TM30

In view of the performance that this Corsair TM30 has given, we could affirm that it is positioned as one of the best thermal pastes on the market, with very good performance, reducing by two degrees a CPU as powerful as the Intel Core i9 9900K at maximum performance compared to other reference pastes. With this trend we could assume that, at higher temperatures, we will obtain a somewhat higher decrease in degrees with this new compound.

We recommend our guide to the best processors on the market

This paste is available for a price of 8 euros in the official Corsair store, which is a price very close to what we currently find in other manufacturers such as Arctic, making it a highly recommended product. Although it is true that we miss that there are several options when it comes to capacity in addition to these 3 grams.
