The short version

XTM70 is Corsair's extreme-performance thermal paste, sold in a 3 g syringe with an applicator kit and three cleaning wipes. Corsair describes a proprietary, non-electrically-conductive formula that resists drying and cracking and pitches it at high-TDP CPUs and GPUs. The applicator is specified for LGA 115x, 1200 and 1700 and for AM4 and AM5 sockets, and Corsair does not publish a W/mK figure on the product page.

Common questions

Does XTM70 come with an applicator?

Yes. Corsair includes an applicator kit for an even layer plus three cleaning wipes for removing old paste.

Is XTM70 electrically conductive?

No. Corsair describes XTM70 as non-electrically conductive, so it does not carry the short-circuit risk of liquid metal.

Will the applicator fit newer Intel CPUs?

Corsair's page lists LGA 115x, 1200 and 1700 and AM4 and AM5 for the applicator and does not list LGA 1851, so plan to apply the paste by hand on those sockets.
