Gelid GC-2

GC-2 is Gelid's older mid-tier compound, now mostly phased out of retail availability in favor of the current flagship GC-Extreme, but still occasionally found in stock at some retailers.

Gelid does not officially disclose a precise current W/mK figure for GC-2 on active listings; older independent reviews have cited a figure around 3.9 W/mK, notably below GC-Extreme's officially rated 8.5 W/mK. GC-2 uses a metal oxide/ceramic formula with a confirmed density of 2.8 g/cm³, a composition approach Gelid has since improved upon with the hybrid GC-Extreme formula. The compound comes in a syringe with a workable consistency suited to standard application, similar in approach to GC-Extreme but with the older, lower-performing formula. GC-2 is non-conductive, carrying no short-circuit risk from standard application. Gelid does not publish a specific reapplication interval for GC-2; as a legacy, mostly discontinued product, buyers should verify freshness and current stock status before purchasing. Against Gelid GC-Extreme also in this catalog, GC-2 is clearly the older and lower-performing option, with Gelid actively promoting GC-Extreme as the current recommended choice across its lineup.
