In the world of thermal compounds, it used to be Arctic Silver and everyone else. Today, the field is much more crowded with several high end greases to choose from, and Gelid attempts to enter the fray with its newly released GC-2 thermal paste.

"Optimal head conductivity and low thermal resistance make the GC-2 best-in-class thermal compound and enables an effective heat transfer," Gelid wrote in a press release. "AT the same time the compound is non-electrical conducive, non-corrosive, non-bleeding, and non-curing."

Gelid went on to say that its GC-2 will come in 7g tubes, or "twice as much as most other competitors." In addition, the company said its GC-1 compound will reach its end-of-life this month.

Look for GC-2 to be available in June with an MSRP of $7.
