thermal paste Thermal Paste

[TatamiMatt]

Looking for a premium thermal paste, regardless of price, ive used SYY157 for the past few cpus and am looking at MX6 as a replacement

 

Im wondering if there are any much higher performance (relative) , enthusiast grade non-conductive thermal pastes that anyone can recommend?

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is arguably the best paste, but they're all so close as to be margin of error.

Kryonaut is meant to be for extreme use and won't last as long. I would get NT-H2/H1 over this any day. I got a 10g NT-H1 recently for just a little bit more than Kryonaut recently.

Well, this is the new kid on the block thats impressed alot of people: https://www.performance-pcs.com/tim-s-pastes-and-pads/honeywell-ptm7950-sp-super-highly-thermally-conductive-pcm-paste-mdy-ptm7950-paste.html

I havent tried it myself yet so i cant say either way. Ive used many and recently was using TFX on my cpu and TF8 on my gpu and both have worked very well giving me consistent lowered temps. For pads i use Fujipoly for the most part.

If you take that into account, then sure.  He's asking for best though, similar to his other thread, so I answered without regard to longevity, ease of acquiring, price, etc.

Honeywell has a great one. Both pad and paste.

I will second the pastes from Noctua. The NT-H1 has served me very well. It was an instant improvement in thermals over the stock application on my AIO block.

I still like the look of the MX6 and NT-H2 but the honeywell does also look interesting, if you had to choose between the MX6 and the NT-H2 which would be preferable, and would you choose the honeywell paste over this preferred paste?

 

I think im leaning toward the MX6 personally as i dont mind the extra stickiness/thickness when spreading and from a few sources ive seen marginal temp decreases, albeit less than 1 degree but still consistent across multiple tests

You'll need to use their names if you want a response. Most people don't auto-follow like me. 

 

All 3 are great choices.

I gained a couple degrees over an application of mx4. It’s also nice to know I’ll never need to reapply.

With what? You'd get that with several TIMs over MX4...

i hear toothpaste does really well. LOL

 

but being serious. thermal grizzly is what i have been told is one of the better ones.havent really tested any myself as i have not removed my thermal paste from 5 years ago and my CPU temps are around 30-40 at the most.

Use less SYY and it will work better.
