Overview
- X-Apply, a new thermal paste applicator, promises perfect paste application every time, eliminating common errors associated with manual methods.
- Designed in collaboration between DigitalBlizzard and tech tester Igor Wallossek, the tool features a stencil that perfectly aligns with CPU sockets.
- The stencil's design allows for an even layer of thermal paste, improving heat transfer and potentially lowering CPU temperatures by a few degrees.
- X-Apply is not yet available for sale but will soon be offered in versions for AMD AM5, Intel LGA 1700/1800, and a universal model that can be custom cut.
- The product is particularly beneficial for system builders, frequent CPU swappers, and educational settings where consistent application is crucial.
