Corn Electronics Shin-Etsu 7868 thermal paste 2 g

SKU CH-R490-HSAS3

Shin-Etsu 7868 non-solvent thermal grease fills CPU and GPU air gaps to improve heat-sink contact and lower thermal resistance

  • Excellent thermal resistance and conductivity for efficient heat transfer
  • Non-solvent formula developed by Shin-Etsu Chemical for high-performance microprocessors
  • Low viscosity enables easy application via dispensing, stencil or screen printing
  • Fills microscopic air gaps between CPU/GPU and heatsink to boost cooling
  • 2 g syringe provides enough compound for multiple processor installations

Shin-Etsu 7868 thermal paste 2 g

Corn Electronics Shin-Etsu 7868 is a non-solvent thermal compound developed by Shin-Etsu Chemical for high-performance microprocessors. The 2 g syringe suits enthusiasts building or servicing air-cooled or water-cooled systems who need reliable heat transfer between CPU or GPU dies and their heatsinks.

Practical limits of non-solvent thermal grease

The material fills microscopic air gaps that would otherwise insulate at only .027 W/mK conductivity. Because it contains no solvent, it avoids pump-out and drying cycles that degrade performance over time, but it cannot compensate for poor mounting pressure or warped contact surfaces.

Build quality and daily handling

Low viscosity at application allows easy dispensing, stencil printing or screen printing without specialised tools. The paste spreads evenly under firm, gradual heatsink pressure, and excess wipes cleanly with a soft cloth. The 2 g volume covers multiple standard CPU or GPU installations. Not for users who prefer pre-applied pads or phase-change sheets.

Questions about this item

Which Shin-Etsu model should I pick — 7868 or 7368?

The tube is labelled 7868; the manufacturer notes reference the 7368 formulation, which is a non-solvent grease designed for high-performance CPUs and GPUs.

What does the 0.027 W/mK figure tell me once the paste is on my CPU?

That value is the thermal conductivity of air; the paste replaces those microscopic air gaps so heat moves from the die to the heatsink far more efficiently.

Is there any electrical-conductivity or curing standard I should know about?

The material is a non-solvent thermal grease with low viscosity for easy dispensing, stencil or screen printing, and it does not cure into a solid bond.
