I've been searching and searching for a good thermal paste to do my 980 Ti graphics cards as I plan to play around on saturday and give them both a good clean (well when I receive my second Ti from the courier :D) what do you think about this thermal paste, I've read great reviews from it, if not what else would you recommend? cheers :)
 
it is one of the top thermal paste available in the market. There is a marginally better paste, which personally I am using, it is Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.
 
Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is the best normal paste at the moment. Next one up are liquid metals.
Bellow it, Gelid GC extreme and Prolimatech PK-3.

Same applies to Thermal Grizzly Minus 8 Pad . By far the best at normal price. After that there are some exotic pads worth their weight in gold (literally).
 
It's good stuff. I was using it for the last couple of years but recently gave Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut a try. I won't be going back. The Kryonaut gave me almost 2 degrees lower temps.

Cheers mate, I hadn't heard about this paste, I've been reading about it and have come away very impressed with it! I've just ordered a 1 gram for £4.99 it'll be enough for just 2 980 Ti's can't wait to get my second card through the post now :D Will last me in till Volta is out or a fully fledged gp102 ^_^

Cheers pal I hadn't heard of this before, however after reading reviews based off this it's got nothing but fantastic reviews! cheers pal! I've just ordered a 1 gram tube which will be enough for just 2 980 Ti's. These will do me for a long time now intill volta comes out or maybe a fully fledged GP102 :D looking forward for my 2nd Ti to come through the post though
 
It's rather thick so it can help if you warm it up a bit before spreading. Mine didn't need it but others on here were saying it helped them with the consistancy of sreading.
 
Can only agree with all the other plaudits - have been using this paste for years. Imho still one of the very best out there, although I am now using Kryonaut.

I always use it if I can. Currently have kryonaut on my CPU and to be honest not noticed any difference to the Gelid GC.

Likely i'll be using Gelid in the future as its pretty darn cheap too.
 
I've bought the Grizzly bear Kyronaut will be here in a few days, still waiting for my 980 Ti to come through the post, expected to get it tomorrow or friday, hopefully it can clock to 1450mhz like my other Ti, those speeds with a repaste should get me some nice temps and performance :D oh and it will look gorgeous af :p
