I've decided that I'm going to send my cpu off to be professionally delidded/relidded at Rockit, and though thermal grizzly conductonaut with its 73 W/m*K conductivity is looking like the gold standard, I want to be sure I'm doing this with the best liquid metal thermal paste commercially available. Are there any commercially available liquid metal thermal pastes that beat conductonaut in thermal conductivity? (All of the surfaces involved on my cooler and cpu are copper or nickel plated copper.)

Its literally just an alloy of gallium indium and tin, just get the cheapest stuff available, literally no reason to pay solely for branding

This was never about the branding, is there any compound that does better than 73 W/m*K thermal conductivity?

It's performance actually depends more of application method, not the brand.

Can't go wrong with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut.

 

But I think in longer period of time it might even start to corrode or stain copper, not just aluminium. But it's much safer, yeah.

Pax vobiscum

Conductnaut is pretty much the the best that you’ll get your hands on, thermal grizzly and Asus recently worked together to make an extreme version of the Liquid Metal for their new laptops but I haven’t found a way for a consumer to actually go about purchasing such a material
