This limited-edition osmanthus thermal paste lets your PC smell like flowers

Stop and smell the roses. In this case, it's   with Japanese brand 's new thermal paste, launching on .  The quirky DIY PC brand previously released other scented thermal pastes in Japan, including the likes of a -scented paste (CWTP-EG4GAP), a pink option (CWTP-EG4GST), and a non-scented version (CWTP-EG4GUL). Now, CWTP has CWTP-EG4GUV-L, a new osmanthus-scented paste called Extremegris (えくすとりーむぐりす). CWTP said it has higher thermal conductivity than the Ultimate version while being less viscous, making it easier to apply. There's no official W/mk thermal conductivity measurement for the paste. However, the 6.3/7 grade index number provided by the company is slightly higher than its Ultimate version's (at 6.2/7 grade index), which supposedly has 20W/mk thermal conductivity. That's at least on par with standard thermal pastes. It also has a slightly wider temperature range (-50 to 250°C) and comes in a 4g tube. The limited edition paste that will go on sale first comes with a specially designed card to commemorate the launch. It's followed by a standard edition that hits retail later. The idea of a scented thermal paste is interesting. Will the scent only appear when a certain thermal load is reached? Will the eventual lack of scent be a good reminder that it's time to repaste your CPU? Seeing as previous editions of scented thermal pastes were all sold out, it's likely that there are enough people out there who want their PCs to smell nice.  Osmanthus (桂花 in Mandarin) has a strong scent that gives a noble impression, but because the flowers themselves are very small, they have flower languages ​​such as "humble," "euphoric," and "noble."  We will always approach product development with a humble mindset. Thank you ALL TEA MATE The CWTP-EG4GUV-L osmanthus thermal paste will start selling on at a tax-included price of (approximately S$20) at , although it doesn't look like there's international shipping available. It's a little steep, especially with popular thermal pastes like Arctic MX-4 can be found much more easily and purchased at cheaper prices. You've gotta pay if you want your PC to smell like flowers.
