Ask FASE NUEVE ↗However polished they look, the processor and the base of the cooler only touch at a few points. The rest are microscopic gaps full of air, and air is a poor conductor of heat. Thermal paste fills those gaps.

It is the least expensive part of the whole build and the one that decides whether the cooler you bought works as it should.
Old paste loses contact. Replacing it is part of maintaining a machine that has been running for a while.
It improves contact; it does not replace a small cooler or fix a case with no ventilation.
Kryonaut is the high-performance family from Thermal Grizzly, and Extreme is its finest-particle version: it works its way better into the irregularities of the surface.

It performs from the first boot: no waiting hours or heat cycles.
Thermal Grizzly describes it as long-term durable. It publishes no figure in years, so we do not invent one.
Thermal Grizzly publishes its own comparison between its pastes; it is in the gallery. Those are their measurements, not ours.
The manufacturer lists processors, graphics cards, laptops and integrated circuits.
The typical case: between the processor IHS and the base of the cooler or the water block.
When changing the GPU cooling. Keep in mind that opening the card may affect its warranty.
An older laptop usually gains more from fresh paste than from anything else.
Thermal Grizzly also lists other integrated circuits that need to shed heat.
Extreme is made for harsh conditions: overclocking, liquid cooling and sub-zero temperatures with liquid nitrogen, where an ordinary paste turns brittle.


Designed to work under the block of an AIO or a custom loop.
The manufacturer states it is optimised for extreme overclocking with liquid nitrogen.
With 0 pS/m of electrical conductivity, a stray drop will not short anything. That is the difference with liquid metal, which does conduct and forgives nothing.
Figure from the official Thermal Grizzly sheet.
It does not attack aluminium and does not demand the precautions of liquid metal.
Apply a small amount and wipe the excess: a non-conductive paste is still a mess.
The package includes the manufacturer manual and two applicators. As a general build guide:
| 1. Clean | Remove the old paste from the processor and the cooler with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth. |
|---|---|
| 2. Apply | A small amount in the centre, or spread it with the applicator included in the package. |
| 3. Mount | Tighten the cooler crosswise, little by little, so the pressure is even. |
| 4. Check | Boot and watch the temperatures at idle and under load. |

Always follow the manual in the box and the instructions of your cooler: every build has its own trick.

It fills the microscopic gaps between the processor and its cooler. Without it the contact is worse and heat takes longer to leave, no matter how good the cooling is.
No. Thermal Grizzly states 0 pS/m of electrical conductivity, so a stray drop will not short anything out. Even so, apply it carefully.
No. The manufacturer states it requires no curing: it works from the first boot.
It depends on the size of the processor and how much you use. The manufacturer publishes no number of applications, so we do not invent one: 2 g is the small size, meant for one or a few normal builds.
Yes. The manufacturer lists processors, graphics cards, laptops and integrated circuits.
Extreme is built for the highest demands: overclocking, liquid cooling and sub-zero temperatures with liquid nitrogen. It is the finest-particle version of the Kryonaut family.
