Thermal Grizzly - Kryonaut thermal paste - For cooling all processors, graphics cards and heat sinks in computers and consoles (2 Grams)

Product Information

Hydronaut thermal grease consists of a silicon-free structure. The makes it very light and highly flexible and easy to apply." You're forgetting that Kryonaut Extreme is currently highway robbery, which is why I've avoided listing it (and I bought the 33g jar right when it came out, also). In contrast, traditional thermal paste compounds are relatively simple for every experience level. Most, but not all, traditional pastes are electrically non-conductive.

From personal experience and personal testing of thermal pastes, I used on my loop like NT-H1, NT-H2, Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, Hydronaut, GC-Extreme, Arctic Cooling MX-4,MX-5, Thermalright TFX, SYY-157,ZF-EX and Kingpin KPx Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut or Hydronaut, these pastes I have used like on air cooled builds or water cooled builds, they're best performers to extent, on older CPUs and GPUs not seen big difference between Kryonaut and NT-H1, where I have seen slight change in performance is on RTX 2080Ti where Kryonaut was better maybe like 1°C, on RTX 3090 or 3080 and 5950X Kryonaut usually dries out within 3-4 months or at least in my case this was happening, you can see that on temperatures increasing on core and GPU hot-spot temperature This time we are doing a third round-up content on 360mm size AIOs and Thermal Grizzly has once again graced us with the Kryonaut Extreme thermal paste for this content. We have tested this thermal paste separately for this content. The second reason I can imagine anyone even considering getting obtaining a tub of Kryonaut Extreme is bragging rights of having one of Thermal Grizzly’s best heat-dissipating compound slathered on between their CPU and cooler. That, or the person in question has an excess amount of disposable income. Should I Buy It? Kryonaut uses a special structure, which halts the drying out process at temperatures of up to 80° Celsius. This structure is also responsible for the nano-aluminum- and zinc-oxide-parts included in the grease to compound optimally, to compensate for unevenness of the component (i.e. the CPU) or the heat sink, thus guaranteeing remarkable heat transfer.

Best Thermal Paste for CPU / GPU / Overclocking

Now coming to the main point of this article, the following configuration is used for thermal paste testing: – This thermal paste is designed for maximum thermal conductivity using smallest particle size, thinner minimum layer height, and improved low-temperature application. In case you find this thermal paste (from 9ml container) hard to apply, keep in mind that viscosity is temperature bound. You can put the container in a cup of hot water and take it out after a few minutes. It would be easy to spread this thermal paste then. We tested this thermal paste at an ambient of 25 to 26°C and it was not hard to apply. You can use the spatula to evenly spread the paste or apply X form in which case the mounting pressure would optimally spread the paste. The main disadvantage of metal-based thermal compounds is that they are electrically conductive and capacitive, and you have to use them carefully on the CPU or GPU otherwise they can cause short-circuit and damage your components. These thermal pastes have a cure time of around 200 hours which is a bit of let down too. Liquid metal compounds make their way to the top of the temperature chart with slightly cooler values than the traditional pastes. Interestingly, the difference between the top and bottom of this chart is less than 4C. Please note that not every run of the stress test may yield the same result. This could well be due to many factors like mounting pressure, thermal paste application, and varying ambient temperature. Not to mention the silicon differences even among the same category of chips. Hence, it is pertinent to mention the testing methodology along with the specifics. Each time the even spread of the thermal paste was verified and where the thermal paste spread was not even or gives the impression of a tear or a poor application, the result was dropped and the new test with the correct spread was repeated. This is done to ensure the validity of the data.

For the air cooling low- and high-tension tests, we used a large Noctua NH-D15 air cooler. We created the low tension mount environment by torquing the mounting screws to 1.13 Nm (10 in/lbs). GC-Extreme I was using only on older GPUs and CPUs and there performance was meh for me, sometimes was on par with EK Ecotherm or Hydronaut but sometimes was worse than cheap TIM Kryonaut Extreme by Thermal grizzly gives excellent results. it is highly thermal conductive, non-electrical conductive, and while the industry was boasting 8.5-ish W/MK pastes as last gen thermal pastes, like the big achievement, Thermal Grizzly released a 12.1 W/MK and when the industry started boasting 9.2-ish W/MK thermal pastes as the big achievement of current gen, Thermal grizzly, released their Kryonaut extreme model, which is 14.2 W/MK. Compared to Arctic MX-5's 8.4 W/MK Thermal grizzly is on a new level, I saw difference 7 - 8 degrees lower temps, where: Die Kühleistung meines Alienware R13 war aufgrund des kleinen Radiators und der engen Bauweise nie wirklich zufriedenstellend. Beim Cinebench R23 erreichte die CPU schnell Temperaturen von 95 Grad Celsius, was zu einer Drosselung führte.Most pastes are made of ceramic or metallic materials suspended within a proprietary binder, allowing for easy application and spread and simple cleanup.Depending on their specific formula, these thermal pastes can be electrically conductive or non-conductive.Electrically conductive thermal pastes can carry electricity between two points, meaning that if the paste squeezes out onto other components, it can cause damage to motherboards and CPUs when you switch on the power. A single drop out of place can lead to a dead PC, so extra care is imperative. Buy GEID Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Compound Thermaltake TG-7 Thermal Grease [For normal and basic use] Even though a dizzying array of different thermal pastes is available — some blends have been around for over a decade — new formulations still come to market at a surprising pace. Long-time PC cooler maker NZXT recently entered the market with its first paste, the not-very-excitingly named NZXT High-Performance Thermal Paste. Cooler Master introduced a new purple CryoFuze, and Alphacool unveiled its Apex thermal paste. Cooling mainstay Corsair also has a new XTM70 blend that will be heading to our test bench soon, and Gelid has recently released its GC-4 Thermal Paste, showing that the TIM market is still thriving.

Thermal compounds might always be compared and debated over, but the simple fact remains: PC system building needs thermal compounds to effectively dissipate thermal loads. Without them, our beloved gaming and content-producing machines would struggle to keep components cool during heated frag sessions, heavy workstation computations, or just simply browsing the web.Arctic Cooling MX-4 or MX-5 I was using on 3 builds in past and to the date(I built them like 8 months ago) I didn't replace TIM there, temperatures are still same and took apart only one of build and from TIM spread and viscosity of TIM, TIM is still okay and didn't dry out on GPUs, all 3 builds are running 3080 or 3080Ti and 3090 Here are some of the best budget thermal paste that you can use with your processor for both Desktops and Laptops. These are mostly Silicone / Ceramic based thermal paste and offer good performance for the price. We'll go into our breakdown of how we test these thermal pastes below, but the key takeaway here is that a single thermal compound can perform differently based upon several variables, such as what type of cooler and mount you use. To cover all the bases, we've tested every thermal paste with three variables: The fans of the air cooler were set to run at their full speed for which the settings were made in UEFI/BIOS.

So, what does one do when given a bottle of premium-grade, expensive thermal compound? Naturally, you put it to the test and measure the difference in performance between it and its non-extreme Kryonaut brethren. What Is It? Unlike most of Thermal Grizzly’s product, the Kryonaut Extreme doesn’t come in a syringe. Instead, the compound is shipped out in a little jar. Additionally, its colour isn’t gray or silver, but closer to bubblegum pink. And before you ask: no, I didn’t try to consume it, and frankly, it smells horrible. As shown in the slides above, the outcome of the different testing scenarios resulted in some interesting comparisons among the compounds. We’ll look at the overall thermal load averages for each, as well as the relative performance value of each in terms of price-per-gram.

The graphs below shows the delta T (ΔT), which is the difference between the CPU temperature (in this case) and the ambient temperature, thereby eliminating the ambient temperature from the equation.
