Review on Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Grease Paste by Dave Hersma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unfortunately not for GPUs.

I have 2 old Radeon RX 580 for Sapphire running up to 75 degrees at 100 percent load. I decided that since they are almost 4 years old they need a new paste and I wanted to try Liquid Metal to give it that famous drop of 10C or less. Unfortunately it isn't. After applying, I ran these 2 cards at 100 percent load for almost 3 hours, and the pace remains the same as stock. I got it right by applying a thin coat to the ihs and radiator. Still no noticeable difference. The liquid metal poses a significant risk and I'm not sure it was worth the cost and risk in my case as I didn't experience a significant drop in temperature. What excites me even more is that I've used Cooler Master mastergel on one of the rx 580s and it's 61C at 100 percent load. Yes, TIM Non-Liquid Metal is better than the infamous liquid metal. The only positive I have is that it's actually quite fun to use. The Thermal Grizzle makes really good and easy to use liquid metal and I felt successful doing it. But unfortunately it just didn't work for me. So I don't recommend this for GPU. For the processor? May be. I can try just to make sure I haven't wasted my money.

Pros
  • Fans and Cooling
Cons
  • I'm concerned about this
