Hi,

I've been using Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut for my latest build. Works great but be ware of wat you're doing.
The cooler is an Alpenfoehn Olymp which is a massive device for a 7700K CPU.

Quite a lot of these pastes are just repackaged coolings pastes for semi-conductor cooling btw.

Cheers,

It's not wise to use Conductonaut between the IHS and your cooler, it`s very hard to get it off, should you ever have to.

For a delid it would be fine.

I bought Cryonaut instead.

NT-H1 is my "poison" for high end systems and cooling, ordinary Arctic for rest of them.

Does the Noctua paste cost more there? I would think it would be fairly reasonable, made in Austria.

It' about 8 Euro for that small one.

Hi,
Yeah I just got some more of it at Micro center about all they had
No thermal grizzly
I read someone on ocn said it looked like dried tooth paste
Possibly it cures into a thermal pad :/

It's pretty thick but flows perfectly when pressed by the cooler.

I like the way it spreads better than almost any I have tried.
