Review on Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut: High Performance Thermal Paste for Cooling Processors, Graphics Cards, Heat Sinks in Computers & Consoles (1g) by Dawn Fischer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thermal paste for gaming laptops

I decided to change the thermal interface on my MSI GT70 laptop (laptop 2.5 years old). The gaming laptop has a large heat generation during operation (games). I read on the forums about thermal pastes and decided to buy the German Thermal grizzly Kryonaut for 730 rubles in the CSN. This paste is not based on silicone, so it does not dry out for a long time and does not decompose under the influence of high temperatures. For example, Arctic Colling MX-4 paste is good (for systems that heat no more than 65-70 degrees), but it’s not suitable for hot gaming laptops, as it deteriorates over time from high temperatures (a friend smeared a laptop with it and changed the paste after 3 months ). In a gaming laptop, temperatures can reach 80-90 degrees Celsius at maximum load, and so that nothing burns out, you need to monitor the cooling system, about once every six months, clean it from dust and change the paste as needed. Thermal grizzly Kryonaut comes in a rather large black bag, on which the characteristics of the paste are painted. The top paste has the highest thermal conductivity of 12.5wm/k and an application temperature of up to +350 degrees Celsius. After unpacking the package, there is a small syringe inside which contains 1 gram of paste, a spatula, instructions for use. The paste is quite thick but spreads easily. There is very little paste, but it was enough for two laptops: MSI GT70 Dragon Edition and Dell Alienware. Alienware was brought in for maintenance, so I did not put cheap paste there (the device cost about 170,000 rubles). In general, my MSI laptop in stress tests heated up to about 80-90 degrees Celsius, after applying the "Thermal Grizzly" the temperatures dropped, became 70-76 degrees. After three months of operation, the temperatures remained low, which means that the paste has not degraded. I recommend this paste for "hot" laptops and people who are engaged in overclocking computers. Never save on thermal paste, as this can lead to failure of computer components.
