Thermal Grizzly TG-C-001-R - Conductonaut Liquid Metal Thermal Paste - 1g

READ INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED IN THE POUCH THEY SEND -> Unlike normal paste, the compound comes out of the syringe VERY easily. I assumed it was like normal paste where you can just press down and it'll slowly come out. To my surprise, it shot out and onto the case. If it lands on your motherboard or any other electrical component, game over. You're out. Second mistake, it was then over my case, so I thought you could "rub" it up, but you cannot. If you spill some or apply too much, then there's an attachment they provide where you can suck the metallic compound up. All I did was then move the compound around, making it spread more over my white case and leaving a heavy thick black residue. Despite things going this wrong, I still managed to fix everything up and had surprisingly enough compound in the tube left to go ahead and apply it onto my Threadripper. (Again very expensive components that I almost ruined from being inexperienced and being overconfident). To spread the compound you must use the swab provided. It's a special material one, and not like a generic cotton swab. You make sure you spread the compound evenly throughout the CPU which is another thing unique. I was thinking you had to do a pea drop and let the fan spread it, but this is not applicable to metal compound. So, somehow, after all this drama and mess, everything worked out well and when testing my temperatures, they were really cool. <50C (TR 3960x). Works really well and I highly advise it for getting rid of temperature issues, but be very cautious and read instructions slowly and carefully for a reason! This paste is great, but please make sure to take your time, concentrate and read instructions.

I'll be honest - I was s**ting a brick preparing to use this product. I saw all the horror stories online about PCs failing due to shorting out because the liquid metal leaked. I watched video after and video before applying. If you've got patience always prepare yourself, you'll be fine. I used Liquid Electric Tape from Plasti-Dip instead of the usual nail polish (can be peeled off) around the exposed components to prevent shorting and it did its job. One little ball of Liquid Metal really does go a long way and way easy to apply with thr cotton bud then provided. Long story short, it's cut my temps down from 70s to 50s (water-cooled). I genuinely could not be happier with this product. Time will tell if it carries on doing its job, but the stress test in the video of my 3090 really does speak for itself. PLAY IT SAFE THOUGH! Make sure you protect the surroundings with nail polish or liquid electric tape just to back yourself up!

used this to overclock an 8600k to 5ghz using a single rad mid range cooler im getting great temps and performance, also replaced the TIM on my GPU heatsink with it, cannot reccommend this enough, make sure you study up on using it though it has its caveats about where it can and cant be used.

Easy to use once you understand how it is spread, almost 10° cooler as well - used on a ryzen 1600x with corsair hyrdo h100 v2

Pretty easy to use after watching a couple of videos. Very good for use in gaming laptops as you can't just upgrade the cooling system as you could on a PC. Went from around 96c under load with throttling to 85c and no throttling. Be careful when spreading, only a thin layer is needed. Also it is a good idea to use high temp tape to cover the CPU surface mount components as Liquid Metal is conductive and if it leaks it will cause a short circuit. I used polyimide tape and it worked a treat.

After reading various reviews I decided to give this a try. My i7 9700k was idling at 45-50c and hitting thermal throttling under heavy load (OC @ 4.7Ghz) After ruling out everything else I realised my paste just wasn't transferring the heat efficiently enough. This may be on the expensive side but its definatley worth it, idles are now 30-35c and with my cpu OC to 5.1Ghz this stuff just rips the heat right off your cpu. One thing I will mention, this is not easy to apply, be very patient when putting it on the cpu lid (or die if your delidding) and when spreading it. This is liquid metal (think terminator 2 t-1000) and does not want to be spread out so you have to take your time and tease it out, I found tilting the mobo a little helped to spread the metal over areas with pockets/gaps.

Had a PS4 that sounded like a jet turbine! Saw on a few forums that grizzly thermal liquid metal was the way forward. It has made an amazing difference!! The PS4 is extremely quiet now as the heat sink has better contact with the processor. Applying and spreading the product is daunting as any “leakages” or “over spill” can potentially kill the mainboard. Spreading the liquid metal is not as easily done as with thermal paste. Only a pin head of liquid metal is required!

**MUST READ** Be careful when first pressing the syringe, it comes out really fast at first and then after quite slowly. This material is a real pain to clean up after.

OVERVIEW: First off, this is not "thermal grease" as listed. It is a 100% liquid metal compound. If you need the best conductivity, it is hard to beat liquid metal. However, it is not for the inexperienced or uninformed user. You will read about many uses for processor de-lidding, but in my case I just used it as a heat spreader interface for my Threadripper install which does not need de-lidding. You are dealing with a highly mobile liquid metal. If you've ever seen mercury droplets rolling around, you know the general consistency. The difference is that this compound will successfully adhere to the heat spreader and cooler if applied correctly with the provided applicator. The product comes with copious warnings about conductivity and reactions with aluminum, so I will not repeat them all here. INSTALLATION: That said, the instructions are detailed enough and augmented by many online videos. It is certainly a bit more trouble that squirting a blob of grease and plopping on your cooler, but if done carefully, it is not too difficult. Just be prepared and consider how you will protect your circuit board should stray droplets go flying (and they will). In my case, I just used wide painters tape to mask off the entire area around the CPU heat spreader so as to catch any strays before I could adhere them properly. Once a thin (very thin) membrane of the metal is adhered to the spreader and the cooler, it stays in place well. If you see the metal pooling (even a little), you've added to much. RESULTS: So my results were satisfactory for me, but obviously your mileage may vary. If you already have a fairly adequate cooling solution, you will not likely see miracles. In my case, I went from a good quality non-metallic compound to the liquid metal and I saw average temperature drops of 6-8 degrees using the same Noctua air cooler. You'll hear of more dramatic results, but these are different use cases. The other advantage to me is that once the load is removed, the temps drop more quickly than before. BURN IN: While the product does not say it requires a burn-in period, I actually did see improvement after a few cooling cycles at same ambient temperature. After being run and turned off and run again over a couple of days, the cooling continued to improve. VALUE: I consider the price difference to be well worth the improvement. I paid around $8 for good quality thermal grease, and this was around $15. I also only used a small portion of what was in the tube, so I have plenty for future applications. This type of compound is not supposed to degrade on the shelf, so I'm hoping it will last me a long time.

Todo súper bien. Lo usé para el PS5 ya que el metal se había corrido un poco y quedó como nuevo. Ya no hace ruidos el ventilador a pesar de estar jugando más de 2 horas

Super awesome product , my temperature used to shoot upto 100°C and the system did a restart everytime this happened , but now after prolonged gaming of 3hrs only results in 70°C , the thermal conductivity is just superb , previously i used to get 70-80fps now back to 200fps 🤩🤩🤩 It is sufficient enough to serve 3 systems as only a small tiny drop is enough for application . Buy it without a doubt . I used it for my predator helios 300 😍😍

Comprado para un PS5 y funcionó a la perfección, incluso la consola ahora se comporta mejor que cuando se compró hace dos años

So I purchased a Rockit 88 de/re lid kit off Amazon, as well as conductonaut to fix some out of control temps on my i7 7700k. While running Prime95 @4.6 ghz (a very mild OC) I was hitting temps over 90c on multiple cores. My Kraken x72 360mm radiator could not keep up even in performance mode. However, Amazon screwed up and sent me the Rockit 88 kit, but NOT the conductonaut. I had ordered a lot of things, and forgot about the conductonaut, so I delidded and was sitting there with no LM (liquid metal) to put on the processor. So instead, I ordered some MX-4 off PrimeNow. With MX-4, my temps hardly changed. Only dropped a few degrees, and a little more stable without as huge of jumps in temp. I did not find that the MX-4 "cured" my temp issues...so I re-ordered the Conductonaut. After ANOTHER de/relid of the processor with the Conductonaut, success! My temps dropped incredibly. I now Idle ~32-34c, with 100% load on Prime95 sitting me at 60-65c. I cannot believe the incredible difference, especially from such a small amount. Application: So applying this stuff is not as tricky as videos would make you believe. The correct amount to use is as follows, put the tiny metal tip on, and gently squeeze out the smallest amount you can without it falling off the end. Then gently wipe the small little ball of LM onto the processor. This tiny bit is ALL YOU NEED. LM is conductive, so you'll need to find the small golden circles on the board located on the inside of the IHS perimeter, and coat those with clear nail polish. Wait 30 minutes for nail polish to dry. Anyway, the LM is also fairly easy to spread. I taped off the board so only the cpu was showing, and used the provided high quality black q-tip (as it's much better than a standard q-tip), and squished the puddles of LM across the board. You will be surprised how well this stuff spreads with this method. You can coat the whole CPU no problem. It might seem like you won't be able to, but you will. I did NOT apply LM to the IHS. I removed all glue from the IHS, as well as the board, and used as thin of a layer as I could of permatex on the 4 corners of the IHS to relid. You want to ensure that the IHS is essentially contacting the cpu and LM, so you don't want to have any thickness to the Permatex gasket maker on the IHS basically. All you're doing is keeping the lid in place so that you can get it back in your motherboard and the CPU cooler installed again. The CPU cooler will hold the IHS in place from there. You do not need to make a gasket for the gods, that can only be removed with a Hercules level of force. TL:DR - Conductonaut dropped my temps at least 25 degrees over MX-4 for a de-lid and re-lid procedure on an i7 7700k.
