Thermal grizzley liquid metal

[jjohnthedon1]

Hey guys just off to get some from oc uk

is it ok for CPUs and gpus ? 

Anyone have experience using this stuff 

and is 1g enough to do all 3 or should I get 2 tubes

thermal grizzly cryonaught is one of the absolute top pastes there is

Kryonaut is completely different. 

 

@jjohnthedon1 use Liquid metal in the CPU die. It doesn't really do much on the IHS. Great for GPUs too though.

it is also much better than any average pleb should care about.

 

that said, isnt this stuff conductive?

[Hunter06]

i think its electrically conductive and thus not recommended for normal overclocking. liquid metal is mainly useful when delieding cpus. and according to their website Conductonaut thermal grease must not be used with aluminum heatsinks..so u need to check compatibility. and if u buy it 1 tube is enough.

You just gotta make sure it doesn't get on any electrical parts besides the part you're putting the TIM on (make sure it doesn't get on the capacitors and resistors next to the GPU or bad things WILL happen). CPUs don't apply unless you're delidding.

probably, havent used it i just know its top teir

ah thought it was Kryonaut, my bad

MX-4 is my paste of choice, i have no purpose for better

Why not on the  ihs does it still work tho ?

my paste has been on for 2 years on everything and I think it's time to change it

Why can't I use it on my cpu ?

i think his point is rather "put it under the IHS, because it's no use without delidding/reliding", because the stuff intel uses under the IHS isnt all that mindblowing.

No you can. I was just saying the part of it affecting conductive things on the CPU or mobo doesn't really apply to your CPU since there isn't stuff that can be affected by the paste very nearby, so it's a bit safer to use it on your CPU AFAIK since you're less likely to mess with stuff.

[jjohnthedon1]

And u guys reckon one tube is enough

1g

You're not really making good use of liquid metal on an IHS. It'll work but it works best with a delid (see post below)

That's it.

iv been using NT-H1 but i lost the tube so now im using MX-2 which was pretty cheap and preforms pretty good

Like dildor and others said, you can use it on your cpu ihs but the temp difference won't be much (1-2°c) and like stated, its conductive so you are taking a risk using it when there is little to no benefit.  

 

Its great for delidded cpus and is ok on gpus, though i only saw a 3° drop from gelid gc on my watercooled 980s.

 

Honestly the only place i use that stuff is on the cpu die.  Everywhere else is just unnecessary risk imo

Is it really that hard to use because u guys are making a big deal about it 

because to me it looks like out a little on and spread it with a cotton bud 

il try it intop of cpu first and if it's easy to manipulate il do the gpus too

Its not that it's hard to use, it is that there isn't much to gain and a lot to lose.  I've tried using it on my cpu ihs and gpu and it just wasnt worth it IMO.  I just ordered new clu and it'll definitely only be going on die.

 

Go for it if you want, just don't expect greatness and DON'T USE TOO MUCH LM! 

 

Also i would avoid cotton and use a short bristled brush instead.  Cotton buds like to leave bits of cotton behind in the liquid.

Ok so results are in on the first gpu 

before when I ran test

rottr bench 5 times single card 5k maxed out card hit 76 degrees 

 

after paste change new highest temp is 62 degrees 

 

both tests done with fan set at constant 80

Nice!  Now see what kryonaut or gc extreme would do for you, I'm sure it's not as good as LM but will smash the stock paste easily, stock paste is usually rather meh

I mean come on look at what Msi put on and how much lol

jeebus!  I never understood why they go SO FAR overboard with the stuff... I mean I get that it isn't conductive and wont hurt but take it down a notch, would ya?

I Also made it idiot proof by using elitrical tape around the die

 

but I'd say 14 degrees is a huge drop lol

[jjohnthedon1]

Cpu temps are down too

69 it used to peak at In the ixt stress test now peaking at 61
