** THERMAL GRIZZLY - CHAMPIONSHIP THERMAL PASTE **

[Darkman]

Is it like the Shin-Etsu stuff, which needs to be warmed up prior to application to make it easier to spread?

 

[chippy08]

Seems like lots of people are re applying 3 times to try and get it correct so a lot of wasted paste. so a new design might be a much better solution.

8pack had suggested warming it helps.

Hairdryer for afew seconds spread. I do this with other pastes too. Very simple way of softening so it can be spread easily and in a thin layer. Also gives better coverage.

What happened to your video you was going to do for applying this stuff ?

 

[rjk]

our media content guy is on annual leave at the moment.

will make a suggestion about doing this when hes back and caught up

That was just the suggestion I was going to make, but you beat me too it

I put the hydronaut stuff on my cpu and temps are pretty much the same, 72 max using realbench although the individual core temps are more even, switching from IC diamond.

CPU is 4790k @ 4.8 1.29v.

 

[Minstadave]

I suspect it's very similar to IC diamond.

...interesting

At the moment I use Thermalright Chill Factor 3 and IC Diamond 7

Anyone know how they compare to the Thermal Grizzy Hydronaut?

do u actually heat the whole tube/syringe or the actual paste on the ihs ?

 

[Nexus18]

Yeah the applicator is crap, next time I am just going to the blob/pea sized method

 

[vsg28]

Any TIM that is dense will benefit from the tube being warmed up a bit to aid in spreading, and the Kryonaut is no exception. But it spreads easier than GC Extreme I feel and that is a big thing for me since I test out coolers, blocks and so forth a lot.

You reckon its worthwhile swapping out to hydro/kryonaut from gelid extreme for waterblocks?

Dont sound that great to me.

I just applied Kryonaut after using IC-Diamond which turned to rubber, Not impressed.

With Kryo I put the whole syringe in a ziplock bag, Put it in hot but not boiling water for 10 minutes then spread it with the supplied applicator.

Temps across all cores seem a lot closer to each other/more even now and temps seem to have dropped by about 3-4'c compared to IC-Diamond on a 4790K at 4.80GHZ @ 1.30v.

I heat paste on IHS. Then also IHS is warm which further aids spreading.

I shall have to borrow your technique bud

 

[yoyo59]

have not seen any in stone performance benchmarks of this paste apart from posts by people saying its the best, I am skeptical to say the least, if I was to buy it would just be for the CPU I dont think I cba to crack open the GPU waterblock and have the hassle of replacing the EK ectotherm

 

[Jumper118]

i stocked up
