Fitting block to 1080, use EKWB or grizzly Kryonaut paste

Hi,

Noob question. Will be fitting EKWB to EVGA 1080 FE soon, looking at Youtube vids and instructions seems straight-forward enough even I should be able to manage it.

Having some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut paste, as this is not electrically conductive and suspect of higher quality than the EKWB paste supplied with the block, I may as well use the Grizzly paste?

Thanks very much

Here is a link for Grizzly performance against some respectable thermal pastes. It appears to be edging them by a little. Use Grizzly.

I'm using Grizzly at the monent, but will be switching back to Gelid Extreme as my temps went up by around 4 Degrees

If you've already got the grizzly use that.

Don't know what then, I've fitted more blocks than I can remember,and used many brands of paste over the years, only thing I can think of is a fault, but the temp went up after using this paste, I've also redone it twice.
