Thermal Grizzly thumbs up

This is good to know, alright when someone who works at a company tells you "Its good" but always nice to see a customer say the same thing :)

I'll keep my eye out for some of this.

I too would like to know what apply method you found worked :)
 
have some of this arriving tomorrow for my gpu. also have some fujipoly extreme plus and a "gelid 290x vrm cooling enhancement kit"

hope to smash a good 20-30c off my VRM1 temp which hits the high 90's while gaming
 
Got some of that stuff lying around, it dropped my i5 750 @ 4GHZ temps massively, from 85+ to 65 (although probably largely because it was the first time I reapplied the paste in about 4+ years :p).

I might do this as well to further reduce my temps of my MSI 290 GE when I get my new skylake build.

I have my gpu undervolted to -37 and the temps average about 66 to a max of 73 with a max fan speed of 50% so I could potentially see some nice drops. Not sure about VRM temps though.
 
I used the spread it all over method lol

Although the temps were lower I have a feeling ( when she puts the heating on ...rolls eyes ) there may not be too much of a difference over all , I would have ran the 290x for more days but my Project Cars doesn't seem to look as good or run as smooth as it does while I've got my 980 fitted .

I believe the Thermal Grizzly stuff is designed with spreading in mind.

This, If the manufacturer intends for it to be spread. Spread it. I am quite confident that they will have tested the application behind this and tested for what yields best results. They would not ask you to do something that would make the product seem worse than it is.
 
I have some of this and after reading this thread and finding out spreading the paste is the best way. How close to the edge of the CPU do people apply the paste?

I normaly when applying other thermal paste just do the small pea size blob in the middle of the cpu, so never really had to think about this.
 
my initial results seem very promising. need to test with some gaming but after a quick burn test at stock it looks like I've knocked at least 30c off the vrm and a good 5c off the core.

update.

with an overclock of 1100, 1300 i went from

58c core vrm1 99c vrm2 70c to
51c core vrm1 70c vrm2 53c

granted i only played for around 45mins and those other temps were from a couple hours of gaming but it goes to show. those new temps are also held back by my fan profile though, the GPU fans max rpm was 200+ rpm slower because of the lower temps. went from idle at 1254 rpm to 1542 at max where as it usually hits in the 1,700's. I should crank them up to 3,000 rpm and see what temps i hit XD

massive thumbs up for grizzly and Fujipoly

I've found gelid extreme to be very good. Like to see how it compares to thermal grizzly. the Gelid Dropped my cards from an average of 37-32c while gaming and a maximum peak of 37 as opposed to 43 before (both after hours of gaming). Cpu also is a couple degrees cooler. Previous stuff was the EK ectotherm.

Put some Kryonaught on my cpu and gpu,replacing some gelid extreme

On the cpu,its actually 1 or 2c warmer,although im not 100% i got all the bubbles out my system yet so it could be that.

On the gpu its been a significant improvement of around 6c.Most likely comes down to application i think.

The layer i put on the gpu was extremely thin,could still make out some of the txt on the die.Ended up with a thicker layer on the cpu sadly.

Bought one of the small £4 tubes,still have some left over
