Cooler Master painted a landscape onto a CPU using thermal paste and the hardware nerd in me can't help but think 'that's way too much'
Forget digital art, give me that real-world, touchable, sniffable stuff. In fact, forget oils and pencils, give me a few tubes of coloured thermal paste and an Intel chip and let me go to town.
Oh… Cooler Master's already done it? Of course they have. For reasons probably known only to the manufacturer, Cooler Master has decided to paint a «happy little landscape» on what looks like an Intel 13th or 14th Gen chip using its multicoloured Cryofuze 5 Prism thermal paste.
First, the Cryofuze 5 paste is slopped onto a pallet and and mixed together. Then, the unknown artist goes to town. Once finished, the artwork is proudly displayed atop the CPU, which is seated in a Gigabyte Aorus Z790 motherboard.
Impressive and seemingly pointless, yes, but it makes for an eye-catching advertisement for its coloured Cryofuse 5 thermal paste. This kind of paste being one that you can buy packaged together in all its colour variants under the «Prism» moniker.
I wasn't even aware that coloured thermal paste existed until now, and I can't help but wonder why it exists at all. You're not meant to be able to, y'know, actually see thermal paste once it's doing its job, so why would you care what colour it is?
Just a happy little landscape, thanks to our Cyrofuse thermal paste.
