Thermal paste is an often-overlooked part of most computer setups. You can simply use the pre-applied stuff, or the thermal paste that comes with your motherboard, and still get reasonable processor temps at stock speeds. Thermal paste is a compound that helps to fill the gap between the CPU and a custom cooler.

yup, just confirms my arsenal of paste is the best...

big tube of Conductonaut and MX-4, and a small one of NT-H1...
and a huge tube of Artic Silver Ceramique when I need to use as a throw away paste to test if it was the bad thermal paste in heating up laptops ... which is still good compared to generic goop...

Zotac mini with conductonaut on core and MX4 in power mosfets, and a bit on the memory

HH you have any of those thermal grizzly carbon pads? It would be interesting to see how does it compare.

Interesting test though. Little change from all those gpu/cpus.

Very nice review, from my own experience Conductonaut really drop 4C compare to Kryonaut when applying on GPU die, that and Kryonaut will dry out quickly at high temp (80C+).

Great review, good selection of products right on the spot with testing CPUs, we all know those get hot. MX-4 is my choice, in general.
