Optimized Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut - Enhanced Conductivity, High Performance Thermal Paste – Suitable for Air & Water Cooling, All CPU & GPU Heatsinks (7.8g / 3ml) Review

As with Conductor, you'll see quite a drop in temperature compared to comparably priced thermal compounds if you apply them correctly. Don't be afraid and use common sense when applying and he will do what he has to do. I have a -10F drop compared to -2 to -3 with crap like AS MX-4.

I've been using Arctic Silver 5 for twenty years now. This stuff went on and did exactly the same job, thermal performance is similar, but your thermal reading will vary in any case depending on how "non-flat" your CPU heatsink and coldplate are. I used to "grind" the CPU and cooler together until they withstood the pull without paste. It takes patience and sandpaper. But otherwise, these pastes try to compensate as much as possible for the manufacturer's negligence in the manufacture of their…

For those of you who are interested. These tubes come with a VERY large amount of thermal grease. I was able to run 2 Ryzen builds and 3 Intel builds. This thermal paste also does not dry out like others.

Repasting on laptops can be painful and temperatures are much more difficult to maintain. 10750h peaked at 99°C, often with freezing gcxtreme. Noctua had issues with pumping. Liquid metal is dangerous and may corrode the heatsink. Hydronaut has no problems with either, the temperature is around 60-70°C with an acceptable noise level. Omen, RTX 2060, 10750h. happy with it

Thank you Gamer's Nexus. This paste keeps my 3700x at 30c idle and 65c at full synthetic load. 1.31v at 20c) The distributor is a bit smaller than I imagined, but I can't deduct a star for that, that would just be a nitpick. All in all a great purchase, I would buy again without hesitation.

I don't know if I got a bad batch but it was very thick and almost didn't spread. My GPU temp was about ten degrees hotter than the gelid gcxtreme I replaced it with.

Large tubes are much easier to work with than small tubes. The large tubes are fitted with matching tips that make flattening easier. Use the applicator and you're good.

Downgraded and the app was very easy and smooth. I opted for an application of peas in the middle of my R7 2700 and it dropped my standby temps by 5-7 degrees compared to the colder master gel. On the OCCT stress test, the temperature dropped by 10-15 degrees! Good product. The GAMMAX RGB BLK 4 cooler with copper heatpipes was used, which does not offer the smoothest surface for installing the processor. Very excited to see the results.
