Area 51m repaste

[Avidacer]

Hello everyone 

 

My area 51m with i9 9900k and 2080 is hitting high temps on stock thermal so I want to try repasteing I've looked at kryonaut but everywere I look the prices vary between low and high.

 

Can anyone link me to one to buy so I know I'm getting the right 1.  I want to repaste cpu and gpu.

Kryonaut is the worst thermal paste out there! It starts out with great performance temps, then within 3-5 days, the temps start rising slowly to a point where you can't use your laptop anymore!

 

The best thermal pastes are as follows:

 

- PHOBYA NanoGrease Extreme (Best thermal paste)

- Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut (Best Liquid Metal if you have the patience to apply it)

 

I replaced the crappy stock thermal paste with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on the CPU and PHOBYA NanoGrease Extreme on the CPU and the temps dropped by 10C for the CPU and 5C for the GPU

 

Here's a pic of when I applied it:

 

 

For regular/non liquid metal paste, I recommend you use the X Cross method rather than the pea sized dot method when applying the thermal paste.

 

The X Cross method is the best in my experience as once the heatsink is fitted, it provides the maximum coverage with the least air bubbles

And CM Mastergel Maker Nano too. Perform better than Kryonaut in my laptop.

Any particular reason why you went with thermal paste for the GPU instead? I was thinking of doing liquid metal for both the CPU and GPU, but just wanted to know if there was something I missed about GPU and if I should avoid doing liquid metal to it.

LM don't perform any better for GPU in most cases

The GPU doesn't overheat much and doesn't need the super high conductivity of liquid metal to perform well and not thermal throttle. I could have used LM but call it laziness or extra pre-cautious, I don't see the risk to reward factor and oh, I never overclock my GPU unless it's for showing off in a benchmark but for now, the RTX 2080 can handle any game at max settings easily.

 

Also, do not underestimae Phobya NanoGrease Extreme, it is the best non-metal thermal paste right now.
