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

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 finishes. I've long believed that CPU manufacturers deliberately limit the temperature of their products to make the next new CPU look significantly cooler. want to study processor loops. Again, I predict that lapping plus this material will provide the most positive results.
