That makes sense.
Yes Fahrenheit - should have said, but thought it would be obvious.
Will use centigrade from now on to save confusion.

2-3c over gelid at first run is great. After all gelid is recognised by many as the best paste available.
Nice mini test Mark.

Celcius metric measurement is the norm in the UK
A member of staff may review, but I am organising to send out to reviewers to see what they think of it and also I may look into sending some to some forum members to test it out. We'll see.
My loop agrees with forumers doing some testing
It is better than IC Diamond 24 tho?
It's not compatible. Thermal Grizzly is much easier to apply.
It doesn't mark the IHS. In terms of temperature differences, there will be enough independent reviews available soon for the performance aspect to be answered.
In our testing, yes it is.
But as we aren't an independent review site, feel free to wait for independent opinion before deciding for yourself.
your answer is above, a drop of 3c. if thats worth £2 to you is your call.
worth it for me ive ordered lol

^ Money well spent and please comment on the performance of the paste etc

Think i will try this once my Gelid runs out. Have about 2/3 more gpu/cpu installs worth in that yet though.
Well , as i test i just applied some Kryo to my living room pc which is a 8350 @ 4.6ghz with a h100i cooler. Overall it knocked off 2/3 degrees over IC diamond.
However, i wouldn't say its particularly nice to apply, you cant just put a blob on the die and spread it out, it will just stick to the spreader tip.
As above you need to apply the Kryo in lines which results in a rather thick layer rather than a tidy thin layer of paste.
I think the problem is that the (i assume) solvent agent in the paste quickly evaporates and the paste becomes very sticky very fast and becomes impossible to spread, hence why you have to apply it in lines. But it ends up pretty wasteful.
Personally i wouldn't recommend it over the likes of Mx4 which imho is probably the best overall past out there for any application (can't speak for Ln2).
However it would be interesting to compare the application of the other two variants.

yeah me to, i will buy it but not untill i need to.
Hence my quote above in my mini test - I found it worked best if you put a bit less on the tip of the spreader and then just complete a line in one go - otherwise as you say it gets a bit sticky and you end up pulling up what you have already applied. Still think overall it is worth it - just need to spend a bit more time and effort in applying it.YMMV.

This stuff is different apparently - spreading is the preferred method of application. That is why they give you two screw on spreading tips in the pack.
Works out ok - see my earlier posts for more info.
