** THERMAL GRIZZLY - CHAMPIONSHIP THERMAL PASTE **

Thanks for the feedback Dicehunter. I'm still using IC Diamond on my CPU & GPU and have always found it very easy to apply and consistent with results, but it does scratch the IHS.

Next time I think I might try a bit of warmed up Kryo instead and see what difference it makes under water. Not sure we've got a hairdryer though, so it might be the 'boil in the bag' technique ;)

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.

ahh that sounds promising :)
 
New sku added today. can see this one selling real quick

also added it to our ocuk tech labs cooling upgrades making them the aio


Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut High Performance Thermal Paste - 1 Gramm @ £4.99 inc VAT

TH-020-TG_400.jpg


Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Paste was specially developed for extremely demanding applications and the most demanding of Overlocking community. Kryonaut also recommended as a top product for critical cooling systems for industrial use.

Kryonaut uses a special support structure, with no drying processes and starts at 80 ° C. This support structure ensures that the contained nano-aluminum and tin oxide portions of the paste combine perfectly and so any unevenness of the heat output (eg the CPU) and a heat sink are optimally compensated with outstanding thermal conductivity.

Features:
- Designed especially for overclocking
- Excellent thermal conductivity
- No cure time
- High long-term stability

Ideal Applications:
Thermal Conductivity: 5*
Extreme Overclocking: 5*
Overclocking: 5*
Watercooling: 5*
Air cooling: 5*
Silicone Sensitive Applications: Do Not Use

Specification:
- Thermal Conductivity: 12.5 wm / k
- Viscosity: 120-170 Pas
- Spec. Weight: 3.7 g / cm3
- Temperature: -200 ° C / + 350 ° C
- Content: 1g


Only £4.99 inc VAT.

Would that be ok to reseat a VRM heatsink on a graphics card or could I use arctic silver ceramic? Also "was £1.20 inc VAT
£7.26 inc VAT". The price has gone up £6.06?

I used Artic Silver 5 on a GPU and somehow I managed to brick it. When I examined I saw a tiny trace of AC5 joining some tiny surface mount chips which are really close to the GPU.

Never use conductive TIM on GPU's as it's so easy to short something, CPU is different as it's actually quite hard to mess it up.

And yes it will be fine to use on the VRM heatsink, I actually installed a waterblock on a co-workers 980 yesterday and used Kryonaut on as many surfaces as I could :)
 
3 questions.

1) Does this cause and scratches like IC Diamond?
2) Can I use it on both GPU die and CPU delidded die?
3) What are the differences between this and EK thermal pads for GPU's?

1) no
2)yes
3)thermal pads are pads and paste is paste so you cant replace pads with paste.
 
So after changing the TIM to Kryonaught and changing out the old worn thermal pads on the VRMs to Minus Pads i am now getting much better temps.

Bear in mind that my core was reaching 85C and VRM1 was reaching 93C.

Now my temps are:

Very pleased with the difference. :D

i see what you did bear bennyboy! ;) 15c and 10c drop is nice.

i put some on my 6950 that i get off the MM, but i haven't tested it since i re pasted it yet
 
Bought some Kryonaught from OCUK at weekend, arrived yesterday with Haribos :D

Intend to use it on my cpu under a Corsair 110 and on my Titan under a Hybrid cooler, fingers crossed for good results.

I wouldn't use IC Diamond directly on dies.
The Diamond properties cause it to scratch.
So using on a GPU/CPU direct on dies scratches them, believe me I'm talking from experience.

I've since switched to Thermal Grizzly mainly because of the scratching issue.
