Thermal paste, the essential substance spread on your CPU before attaching the cooler, typically doesn’t need to come in various colors. Yet, Cooler Master has introduced multicolor thermal paste, recognizing that PC builders often seek unique and personal touches for their setups. Cooler Master’s new CryoFuze 5 thermal paste is available in six vibrant colors, and the company has demonstrated its creative potential by crafting a miniature landscape on an Intel CPU in an actual motherboard—a playful nod to the artistry of Bob Ross.
While it might seem like a marketing gimmick, especially given the paste’s hidden nature once the cooler is installed, the artistic display is genuinely impressive. It’s reminiscent of the meticulous work seen in Warhammer miniature painting and could appeal to those who invest extensive time and money into custom case mods. The possibility of using this thermal paste for tiny, ephemeral artworks could offer another form of creative expression for dedicated PC builders. As Terry Pratchett poignantly put it, “It is such a shame that some masterpieces are so transitory.”
