Thermal Grizzly Duronaut - 6 Gram - Enhanced Durability & High Performance Thermal Paste - for Maximum Thermal Conductivity While Overclocking CPU/GPU/PS4/PS5/Xbox

I needed to reapply the thermal paste in my PS3 since the last I did it was over 10 years ago. I decided to go with this brand over Arctic Silver 5 due to new studies out.This stuff is thick. It kept sticking to the spatula when trying to spread it over the chips. Eventually, I was able to get it on there, but you will need some patience.As far as performance, it lives up to the hype. My temps went from 78c to 69c. It's nice not having to worry about a curing time this go around.

I have bought thermal grizzly's PTM7950 (PhaseSheet I think they call it) in the past for repasting GPUs. While I did like the product, I decided to give Duronaut a go mainly because it was a fair bit cheaper considering the amount of coverage you get. That and my tube of MX4 from gods knows how long ago was starting to separate and I needed a standby thermal paste.The Duronaut is far thicker than standard thermal paste that most people are used to. Really quite thick; I would estimate kind of peanut butter thickness (though I hardly know since I don't like peanuts). There's a bit of a learning curve to spreading the thermal compound over a die. Thermal grizzly have a video on youtube on how to spread it that had some good advice in that regard. If you try to spread it too fast it tends to detach from the die or create patchy coverage. You kind of have to apply what looks like a lot more thermal paste than necessary to spread it out. I found the special spatula they give you helps a lot in controlling the spreading, and you have to go pretty slow.I used this thermal paste to repaste my GPU--which had concerning hotspot temperatures--and a friend's laptop which sorely needed repasting. I've been running the repaste on my GPU for a couple of weeks now and it's holding up great with no signs of rapid deterioration or temps increasing.

Best performing thermal paste ive ever used, it seems to work extremely well on laptops too. I put some on a 2860qm and a 3687u and suddenly they score in the top 5% of results for that cpu. They both have single core scores over 1800 and my 2860qm is outperforming the average 2960xm with a multicore score over 5200 vs the 2960xm's 4750! You gotta get this stuff for your laptop apart from the 7950 thermal fabric stuff i doubt theres better performing paste for your laptop.Some tips, dont apply it cold, warm it up by rolling it around in your hands if its not at least room temp, DONT USE THE SPATULA always apply a blob on the cpu die and the southbridge die if 0resent and let the heatsink spread it as you tighten it this way you dont get an air bubble, finally use a little more than you normally would i checked the spread on my 9900k and this stuff doesnt spread as far as thinner pastes so you wanna use a touch more.Not counting liquid metal though, dont use that stuff your asking for trouble no matter how careful you are. A laptop board flex's because its a mobile device and when the liquid metal eventually works its way out and onto your heatsink or pcb its only a matter of time before it dies.

Used this to repaste my (water-cooled) GPU and my temps max out at 35c, so in that regard this is the best paste I've used. I had to remove a star because applying it was a nightmare, it doesn't stick to the die and it sticks very well to itself. I tried differing how much pressure I was using with both supplied applicators and that didn't help, it just stuck to the spatula and left the die showing. The only way I was able to apply it without the die showing through was to use a heat gun and warm up the paste a bit. Even with heating I had to apply a very generous amount to get even coverage, but extras not going to hurt so all's well that ends well I guess.

Got it today and it already lowered my 7800x3d temps. I was always in the high 70’s to low 80’s and now I’m in the mid 60’s to low 70’s on max settings with my 5080oc Astral. It also ideals around 49-55 tops!

Great paste. But you got to apply it really slow

It comes out stiff it's difficult to spread, it honestly just seemed expired I just wiped it off and bought something different, I'm not trusting it on an expensive computer.

The thermal paste is great as always. I highly recommend watching the video to apply the paste since it is much thicker than normal thermal paste and doesn't spread as easily. Performance is great as always.
