Which Thermal Paste Would You Use ?

**NIK111** · 06-01-2019 08:05 PM

Has anyone tried Icy Diamond Thermal Paste..This stuff is thick like Body Filler you would put in a fender ding on a car.Maybe thicker..I have herd good things about the temps though on the web but nothing here.Has no one here ever tried it..I have 2 tubes of thermal paste and debating which to use for now..The Icy Diamond or Mx4..I have ordered the Kryonaut and some KPx HP thermal compound when they come in I will test the two out and see which one wins out and post the results..

I've always used Arctic Silver, has always worked well for me.
A lot of people seam to like that Grizzly Kryonaut as well.

I give me vote for Mx4 as well.

Not here. I changed to Noctua NT-H2 the newest version.. It's amazing and it did drop my temps big time. between 6c and 10c. No lies no BS

It also has a new consistency that binds better then the older pastes. I think the new compound is much better at thermal transfer.

there are lot manufacturers producing thermal paste. We can't say that particular company is good because, different persons will like their favorite brand

Always comes in with great temps, but is pretty risky if you make a mistake.. it is conductive so anything that gets on the motherboard could be catastrophic. If you are not superclocking it's not worth it in my opinion for 2 to 5 degrees from an already optimized paste.

I've been using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut lately on my 9900k and my GTX 1080.. Previously I was using Prolimatech PK-3 and Noctua NT-H2, which are both quite good as well. I've had my best results with the Kryonaut though on my end.
