** THERMAL GRIZZLY - CHAMPIONSHIP THERMAL PASTE **

From looking at der8auer spreading the paste in the video above, it doesn't look too hard to apply. I guess if you apply it differently it is harder maybe. But I would go with what is recommended in the video above.

You'll notice in the der8auer they dont do the complete die , you cant do the complete die like that, you just end up wiping away what you've already put on. Its very soft and spreadable, for about 5 seconds then it becomes the consistancy of ic diamond.

Its good , but unless thermals are critical such as extreme overclocking on dice or ln2 then i think there are better every day pastes that are easier to apply and are within a couple of degrees and at a better price point.
 
So the blob and pop on heatsink/waterblock wouldn't work? Damn it wish I'd waited a day before ordering, so now it's keep it and hope I have no trouble spreading 'eat' the delivery charge back to ocuk under dsr(you can still return the within a certain number of day right? Last I read there were going to be wide reaching changes to how it works).

The thermal paste come pre-installed with the normal syringe nozzle I think, so you can use the pea method just like other thermal paste...

Same as advice, pea method still works.

In fact, all thermal paste will work regardless of how you put it on the IHS... It just works better if you use a method which gives you the thinnest layer of thermal paste.
 
The link 8-Pack posted on first page to Overclockering Guide's 2015 Thermal Paste Roundup shows Kryonaut as best non-metal TIM. but that said the difference between it and the next 25 TIMs is only 1.6c with reading to 0.01c .. but we don't know what the accuracy of air temperature going into air cooler is. This makes it impossible to know how accurate these 0.01c reading actually are. For example if air temperature is change +/-0.5c than all of the 0.01 readings have a +/-0.5c variable meaning the 1.6c difference could be as little as 0.6c or as great as 2.6c.

Overall, it appears the Kryonaut is definitely at or near the top. :D
 
Well mine came today, looking at it I'm a little disappointed that the applicators don't have 'bear claws'. Looking at the video posted earlier it looked like 'claws' but having them in hand can see its smooth no 'claw'/brush, tho the 'claw' would mean you don't end up with a smooth finish if you end up being able to spread the paste without issues(couple of people have mentioned on here so far having issues with spreading using the applicator). Well they could have kept the top bit smooth but had the claw effect on the from and back.

I've asked this before but didn't get an answer, will this be fine to use on the gpu when putting on the gpu waterblock?

Also does the thermal pads that come with the waterblocks fine or will the grizzly ones have a large enough improvement to be worth getting? I have ek nickel csq version 1 for the 290/290x

you will be able to see a difference to some extent.

the ones that come with blocks will be good enough.

the TG minus pads are a no compromise approach.

buy some paste and I will put your quote on a banner.

I wouldn't say it's big headedness but more a statement of fact :p

The way how I see it is I've looked at the "benchmarks" that everyone seems to quote and had completely different results. I'd rather use something that someone raves about that has been using it for a while (which I'm guessing he has) then something thats been tested on a rig for 10 - 30 minutes so I'll at least give it a try next time I need some.

(Plus it has a bear in the name and i'm a fan of bears)
 
Ordered some . What's the staining like compared to a IC ? Turn around a lot of CPUs and coolers , and spending even 10 mins with IPA cleaning makes me want to kill myself . Need the shiny shiny.

Yes I have been using this for a couple of months and tested many configs using the paste. Its not just great on CPU but High end GPU core also.
 
Received my tube this morning, reading the instructions in the pack I'm a little unclear of how to spread this, on the picture it shows putting little strips across the cpu, do you have to strip all over the cpu or are the old methods of a peadot in the middle ok to use with this?
 
apparently the usual methods are fine, i put mine on in strips using the spreader and even tho it seemed i had put a little too much on it dropped 5c off my load temps :)
