KT-X9 / THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIAL

Heat transfer starts
at the interface.

KT-X9 silicone-free thermal grease addresses thermal impedance, application handling and long-term stability in high-power interfaces. InnoChem supports product selection and application discussions.

Source: KT-X9 technical presentation (260318), pp. 6, 11 and 15. Page 11 reports 0.05 at 40 psi; page 15 lists a general specification of <0.06. These values are retained in their respective contexts. Actual thermal performance depends on bond-line thickness, pressure, surface condition and system design.

THERMAL EVALUATION WORKSPACE

Put your conditions
into the evaluation.

Use reported impedance values to estimate the temperature drop across the interface alone.

Reference impedance Z0.05 K·cm²/W
Interface resistance Z / A0.0050 K/W

A simplified one-dimensional steady-state estimate, not a CPU temperature or full-system simulation. Assumes uniform contact and all specified heat flow through the interface; excludes heatsink, ambient, spreading resistance and aging.

APPLICATION FOCUS

Different applications. Different requirements.

High power and thermal cycling

Share device power, heatsink contact area, clamping force and thermal cycling range to assess interface impedance and pump-out risk.

RELIABILITY EVIDENCE

Stability needs evidence over time.

Original KT-X9 300 W stress test chart

300 W / 168-hour stress test

The source reports a P-core maximum-temperature average of 89.6°C for KT-X9 on an Intel Core i9-14900KS platform running AIDA64.

Platform-specific result; it does not predict temperatures in other cooling systems.

Original KT-X9 pump-out cycling chart

Interface performance under cyclic load

The original chart covers 100 cycles, with 3 minutes burn-in / 3 minutes idle, and identifies an Intel Core i5 4300U. It supports discussion of pump-out and temperature change.

Supplier chart labels are retained. Confirm the detailed setup and original report during technical evaluation.
