Thermal Grizzly - Kryonaut thermal paste - For cooling all processors, graphics cards and heat sinks in computers and consoles (2 Grams)

Product Information

GC-Extreme I was using only on older GPUs and CPUs and there performance was meh for me, sometimes was on par with EK Ecotherm or Hydronaut but sometimes was worse than cheap TIM

Recently, the brand’s local distributor, Sun Cycle, sent us over its high-end, premium-grade Kryonaut Extreme, a thermal paste that is considered to be a step, if not several, above the German brand’s normal Kryonaut compound. I also had to crank up the voltage to 1.5V, but surprisingly, doing that did allow the CPU to consistently run at that speed, and without crashing the system. The Bad Stuff. Tell Me.

Best Budget Thermal Paste for CPU

From personal experience and personal testing of thermal pastes, I used on my loop like NT-H1, NT-H2, Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, Hydronaut, GC-Extreme, Arctic Cooling MX-4,MX-5, Thermalright TFX, SYY-157,ZF-EX and Kingpin KPx This is not an ideal result, as it raises questions about whether the performance loss will continue to increase over time. Some reports online suggest that this could indeed happen. Conclusion: Tin oxide components and particularly fine nano-aluminum oxide particles are embedded in a carrier structure, which optimally compensate for unevenness on the surfaces of the heat source and heat sink and offer outstanding thermal conductivity . The Kryonaut Extreme is also characterized by the fact that it does not dry out even at a high temperature of 80 ° C and is not electrically conductive .

The performance value chart shows most of the liquid metal compounds with a poor value-per-gram rating, but once again, Phobya LM proves to be the outlier for that sub-category with its budget price tag.The fans of the air cooler were set to run at their full speed for which the settings were made in UEFI/BIOS.

Now coming to the main point of this article, the following configuration is used for thermal paste testing: – We're also putting a new take on an old approach to the test — thermal pads. These pads can be used as TIM and come as a single sheet you simply apply to your heatsink, with Thermaltake's Heilos Pad being the first new thermal pad entrant to see our test bed in the coming weeks. Unlike most of Thermal Grizzly’s product, the Kryonaut Extreme doesn’t come in a syringe. Instead, the compound is shipped out in a little jar. Additionally, its colour isn’t gray or silver, but closer to bubblegum pink. And before you ask: no, I didn’t try to consume it, and frankly, it smells horrible. The main disadvantage of metal-based thermal compounds is that they are electrically conductive and capacitive, and you have to use them carefully on the CPU or GPU otherwise they can cause short-circuit and damage your components. These thermal pastes have a cure time of around 200 hours which is a bit of let down too. Please note that not every run of the stress test may yield the same result. This could well be due to many factors like mounting pressure, thermal paste application, and varying ambient temperature. Not to mention the silicon differences even among the same category of chips. Hence, it is pertinent to mention the testing methodology along with the specifics. Each time the even spread of the thermal paste was verified and where the thermal paste spread was not even or gives the impression of a tear or a poor application, the result was dropped and the new test with the correct spread was repeated. This is done to ensure the validity of the data.This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. Thermal Conductivity is the property of a material to conduct heat. It is measured in watts per meter-kelvin (W/(m⋅K)). There are various to apply thermal paste on the CPU or heatsink. The most common method is the Pea method where you put a pea-sized amount of thermal paste on the CPU / GPU and then install the heatsink over it. After this, the thermal paste gets evenly spread on the processor with the pressure and temperature. It is considered as one of the easiest and most efficient methods for thermal paste application. Other popular methods of thermal paste application include line, X, and spread methods which are also widely recognized and work pretty well.
