The GPE-01 pad had previously only worked with Chipzilla’s LGA1851 and LGA1700 sockets. Now, Coracer says it has sorted out a version for the AM5 CPUs from AMD.

The GPE-01 first popped up courtesy of Segotep, a familiar face in China’s tech scene. It appeared late last year tailored to Intel’s elongated heat spreaders. Coracer seems to have appeared out of nowhere. A quick Google search reveals nothing. Whether it’s a shadow brand of Segotep or just borrowing the design, no one really knows.

The AM5-specific version measures 32 by 32mm, fitting neatly across AMD’s integrated heat spreader without spilling into awkward corners. That’s no small feat given the unconventional geometry of these chips.

According to Coracer, the GPE-01 is made of graphene mixed with silicon and claims a thermal conductivity of up to 130 W/m·K. That’s nearly twice the 73 W/m·K claimed by Thermal Grizzly's Conductonaut and wildly higher than the 7.5 W/m·K of its KryoSheet and Arctic's MX-6 paste.

The pad is wrapped in an isolating material to prevent any short circuits, which is sensible given graphene’s enthusiastic conductivity. More and more vendors are playing with graphene in thermal pads, as it theoretically ticks all the right thermal boxes.

Graphene in labs can hit 4,000 W/m·K, but that doesn't mean your gaming rig's going to turn into a cryogenic experiment. Still, it might explain why Coracer is shooting for the stars with its numbers.

The firm says the pad lasts up to 10 years, which is believable. Thermal paste dries out in a few years, prompting tedious reapplications. A pad that can stay put until your next upgrade would be a welcome relief.

There's still no pricing or availability for the AM5 version. The Intel model goes for around $15 on Taobao, so we can guess the AMD one won't be too far off.

No reviews have emerged yet, and Coracer’s brand mystery continues. But if those numbers hold any truth, this pad might end up dishing out more heat to the cooling industry.
