Extremely high Thermal Conductivity, Low Thermal Resistance, Long Durability, Metal-Free, Non-Conductive, Non-capacitive

Is this or thermal grizzly thermal paste better? I bought some for $8 from Amazon a few weeks ago, not sure if it's the same price still
Minimal difference in temperature but if we were to be specific, Kryonaut should perform 1-2C better than MX-5.
Thermal Grizzly normally comes as 1g tubes, this is a 4g.
Not sure if Thermal Grizzly is non-conductive, but this MX-5 (MX-4 also) are non-conductive.
There is definitely a risk of using Arctic Silver or Liquid Metal as they are definitely conductive
Amazon says free delivery on orders over $39. Free delivery only for prime members otherwise.
ARCTIC MX-5 $10.99
Cheaper than MAZDA MX-5
MAZDA MX-5 thermal conductivity?
Red ones are pretty good.
You're cooler than artic

Take my upvote and get out.
Eh bought, just because lazy and free delivery.
Not happy with my temps, want to try a different paste.
Any recomended tutorial on how to apply this? is it difficult? Thinking about replacing the fan on an older laptop that's making too much noise, but that means i have to put thermal paste on top of the processor. Maybe also thinking about doing the same for my PS4. I think i also heard about some "patches" or squares of thermal paste that you jut stick on the devices, so no need to spread them nor anything. Are those any good? (if they exist)
You just put a pea sized blob in the middle and press the cooler down onto it. I've not applied to a PS4 specifically but a CPU is a CPU. I wouldn't bother with the squares.
that simple? i though it would be like spreading butter on a toast, you had to use something so spread it thin everywhere. Thanks for that!
the weight of the cpu cooler allows the paste to spread out evenly, so you don't have to do much when applying it.
Probably better to do half a pea.
Grain of rice size works for me.
Just spread it out evenly with your finger.
not sure why this post got the negatives. Spreading out evenly using a finger is also an option although this does come with a plastic spreader. I normally use an old credit card to spread the paste evenly over the cpu
Probably less of an issue touching the thermal paste itself but touching either metal surface (CPU or Heatsink) is bad.
The oils from your finger can create an additional layer either between the cpu->thermal compound interface or the heat sink->thermal compound.
Yeah I know. I've worked in IT for over 20 years now and thermal pasted thousands of times. I don't always use my finger just depends how lazy I am at the time. Lol
You should clean your finger with alcohol before though. That's probably why the negs. Lol
Not difficult to apply, how you apply it seems to be more personal preference

For direct die (Laptop, PS4, GPU) it's ideal to spread it to avoid any gaps which would seriously harm the chip.
For applications onto a IHS like a desktop CPU you can do either method, the only downside to putting too much on is a messier clean-up later on. Better to have too much than too little.
Same. Direct die like GPU and laptop in make sure the whole die is covered
Need a deal on the articlean pack
Just buy 99% iso from like eBay or something and use it with Q-tips to clean thermal paste.
Extremely high Thermal Conductivity
Tried to look up conductivity, but they havent provided it.
According their own website, pretty close to the Kyronaut.
Mastergel Make is supposed to be 11w/m.k
Kryonaut is 12.5w/m.k
lol
According to them nt-h1 isn't any good. Hmmm. Lol.
That just seems to be normal price.
