Activating Carbice:


The Carbice Ice Pad keeps improving with time as the CPU experiences normal heating and cooling cycles during gameplay or everyday high-performance tasks like streaming, video editing, multitasking, or content creation. Once the pad reaches optimal performance after this short activation period, it will remain that way for the life of your system.


  1. Install the Carbice Ice Pad to your CPU, mount the heatsink, and power on your system.
  2. Warm up your processor by running your computer for about 30–60 minutes. Playing your favorite AAA game or running other demanding applications is a great way to achieve the initial activation.
  3. Continue to use your system normally over the next few days and let the Carbice Carbon Nanotubes settle into your CPU and heatsink surfaces gradually.
  4. Read our Installation and Thermal Activation Guide for more information.
