I just couldn't imagine going as far as to delid a processor only to not put the best stuff possible on it. Kinda like filling up a Ferrari with cheap watered down gas from some crappy place.

It's more that I did not know better and don't want to do it again... lol. It's still loads better than the intel muckity muck.

That, and the sealant I used will probably never come off...

you have to point there.... is gona be better compared to stock crap .... but with liquidmetal the diferences could be more than a few degrees,

Sure it'll be better, but if you're going to go so far as popping the IHS off, coollaboratory liquid pro (or ultra?) is the way to go.

i've used ultra on my, was a gift from @Knoxx29, also he was the one who cheer me up for the delid!
excellent support by the way!

i always used arctic silver ceramique/alumina religiously in the past. the only place that i didn't put any of it on were my sandwiches. but recently switched to EK Ectotherm. i don't know what kind of harry potter magic they used to create this stuff but holy hell it actually does make a noticeable difference AND doesn't conduct electricity. they are also one of few brands that seems to list the Thermal conductivity (8.5 W/mK) of their TIM. AC doesn't share the specs on their non conductive pastes, which I assume isn't that great. but arctic silver 5 is listed as 8.9 W/mK. considering that it also conducts electricity, it's not that impressive.

at this point in time I don't see myself using anything else, even though i still have a GIANT tube of AC alumina laying around (see attachment). i should probably do a giveaway here and send this thing to whoever wants it. otherwise it's a waste having it sit here.

i have the same giant tube but in my case is arctic mx4 ...
a friend uses arctic ceramique, not bad at all...

@peche WOOHOO!

announcement from Thermal Grizzly

no more unintended trickery :laugh:

"""""It is time to go new ways. We are proud to present our newest Product the Conductonaut.

Our Conductonaut liquid metal thermal compound is designed for applications that require very high efficiency. Conductonaut is recommended for experienced users who are looking for a top performance product with best heat dissipation where temperature ranges are above 0 °C.

Ultra high thermal conductivity
Increased indium content
Easy application with synthetic needle

Thermal Conductivity 73 W/mk
Viscosity 120-170 Pas
Density 6,24g/cm3
Temperature 10 °C / +140 °C
Content 1 g"""""

http://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/26-conductonaut-en

now i even have an alternative to the Coolaboratory Liquid

will they take the top of the chart i posted previously ... they were 1st after LM TIM with the Kryonaut

that chart

sorry for that semi necro but that's a too awesome update/news from my (new) favorite TIM brand!

Any word on if it's priced less than Collab Liquid?

the Bleh is also valid for Coolaboratory LM TIM

price hum dunno but generally Thermal Grizzly TIM pack more for a similar price, i expect a good surprise on that side. (at last i hope ... tho Hydronaut and Kryonaut are by far the best TIM i got my hands on )

peche · Dec 28, 2015

no problem at all, liquid metal TIM's are mostly used for delid.....
if i try it out will be for delid purposes ....

i would use it that way if i did need a delid

(or if one day i finally have the courage of doing a delid ... tho not on a i5

for that the Kryonaut is enough

)

at least you are happy with you current paste! thats the important thing!

Oh, I know.

Only real concern is that it needs to be either better or cheaper than Coolab (preferably both

)

DarthBaggins · Dec 28, 2015

Normally I use ShinEtsu, but with the launch of Thermal Grizzly I've wanted to give them a shot since I've heard nothing but positive things from other modders/builders/benchers

peche · Dec 28, 2015

is also less than coollab.... this new one is 1Gram presentation ... coollab is collab 4g

peche said:

wow 4g coolab... well were you are ... for me it's 1 to 1.5g LM TIM (coolab or Phobya )

https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/produc...-1g-80-thermal-compounds-280013?tagIds=76-526

also ... they should use ML instead of G ... depending the density of the compound the content is not the same for 1g and 1g

also 80wm/k for the coolab and 73wm/k for the Grizzly but, the GC-Extreme is 8ish wm/k and beat the 10ish wm/k Hydronaut so ... i wonder what will be the real life test result

peche · Dec 28, 2015

my bad again

but agreed, i would like to see results...

GreiverBlade · Dec 31, 2015

@peche price known: around 5.50€ 1g (cheaper than the Coolab for me

)

a test here ... in German (unfortunately but logically since TG is a German brand )

peche · Dec 31, 2015

well my friend you know me, I'm pretty interested on making a shoot on a sample of that paste, for personal tests and some delids more, I do love delid so for a couple of days at a friend's PC repair shop I offered free delids for ivy and haswell, did a couple of them, then next week more people came asking for delid but since I ran out material had to charge for the service at customers own risk … did a couple more delids!

as soon as my financial situation gets "OK" I'll order a tube and re-delid my processor, will replace the old coollab and test this one!

Regards,

looking forward

Did you always use the same TIM on your hardware?

Yes I do use the same one…Always!

No I don’t have any preferred or "trusted brand"

If I could I would! not always have stock of the same products!
