Hi,​

​

Which thermal paste do you guys use? I want something low maintanace and dont want it drying out after a year or 2, but want high performace as the same time? Which is overall best and how ofter would it need changing/reapplying?​

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut High Performance Thermal Paste​

vs​

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme Performance Thermal Paste​

vs​

Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Liquid Metal​

Stay clear of liquid metal if you can anything conductive is a risk unless your ok with that. The kryonought range are excellent and will only be a couple of degrees between them.

Thanks for info, are there any risks associated with the other 2? Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme Performance and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut High Performance Thermal Paste?

How many ml would be sufficent for 1 application on cpu?

As far as im aware there both non conductive but best to check to confirm.

Noctua NT-H2 is my go to for premium stuff that lasts years. Always wanted to try Alphacool sub zero or apex though.

I did a test recently between H2 and Kryonaut and the Noctua thermal paste was consistently a few degrees better.

It was easier to apply as well making the ThermalGrizzly paste distinctly overpriced and overhyped!

I just use use a small blob in the middle, they are all within a degree or two of each other. But yeah, TG is very expensive and the extreme version is just silly money.

my goto used to be Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut but I find its over priced and recently bought MX 6 which was much cheaper yet to use it but looking at others results it performs pretty much the same
