Got it for a good price here on amazon. Was my first time using liqued metal and this stuff came highly recomended by a number of people.I’m currently using this on the dyes of two GTX 1080’s in SLI (with nickle plated copper water blocks) and on the IHS of an i7-6900k.The thermals on the GPU’s are absolutely amazing. I have not seen the gpu temps go above 35c while OC testing with unigine heaven (delta is 22c).The 1080’s are running @ 2100Mhz core, 5400mhz memory, using 1/2”ID PETG (the GPU’s are in series), 1xD5 pump @4800rpm, 1x560mm + 1x280mm rads in push/pull (fan speed 1200rpm).The CPU thermals are not as great, but still adequate. The 6900k reaches 68c in Prime95 26.6 running 1344 FFT size for an hour (delta is 22c).The 6900k is soldered,so delidding was not needed. The cpu is OC’d to 4.4Ghz @ 1.290v. The loop consists of a nickle plated copper block, 1/2” ID PETG, 1xD5 pump @4800rpm, 1x480mm rad in push/pull (fan speed 1600rpm).I’ll admit this stuff is more difficult to work with. It does not like to spread at first, and you just have to keep at it until the surface will behin to “wet”. You have to use it on both surfaces that will be in contacting as well, because it does not “flow” like normsl paste.You also need to pay special attention to not get it on anything except the dye, IHS, or block surface sine it is a conductive material.I used thick electrical tape to cover the small diodes next to the dye on the CPU’s. I origionally was going to use kapton tape, but felt the heavy electrical tape would hold up better over time.Also note that this stuff should never come in contact with aluminum (it contains gallium, which destroys aluminum).Cleanup is a bit more tedious, but not bad. Wipe up what you can with an absorbent cloth (toilet paper works), then procede to lean the surface like you would for any other paste.In general, you should not go near this stuff unless you know what you’re doing, because it’s too easy to destroy your hardware otherwise. A $1000+ cpu and $1300+ in GPU’s, plus a $600+ Mobo can be destroyed in the blink of an eye due to one drop of this stuff being where it shouldn’t be.Everything said, I’m content with the results. The CPU would likely run cooler if it was delided. I think Intel did a crappy job with their IHS soldering. If you are using an unsoldered cpu, definately delid, the results should be great.I don’t recommend delidding a soldered IHS, because it’s EXTREMELY time and labor intensive to do properly, and has a much higher risk of damaging your cpu.

I ordered this over a year ago when I bought a used Razer Blade Pro 2018. This laptop is notorious for running at its thermal throttling point basically any time it's running anything remotely intensive. I put Kryonaut on it when I got it, but it still hit 90C on the GPU and throttled. I finally decided to take the risk and apply the liquid metal Conductonaut paste. I already knew how to disassemble the laptop so getting to the heatsink was no problem. Cleaned the old paste with acetone and a paper towel, then used the included alcohol wipes to further clean the surfaces of any remaining paste, leaving them with a nice shine. Applying this paste is very different from conventional paste.Using the micro tip, the liquid metal comes out and forms a blob. You kind of have to press the liquid metal into the surface for it to start to take hold, but once it starts the rest can be brushed into a thin, shiny metal layer that evenly covers the die. I then put more on the mating copper heatsink surface. This took more force to get it worked in, but it left a nice shiny layer where I wanted it. I gently set the heatsink back in place and tightened the screws.Booted up the laptop after reassembly and fired up Overwatch. I was surprised that the GPU didn't immediately spike to 90C, instead hovering around 80-85C. Not a great temp but if it's not throttling I'll at least see a performance boost. Then I fired up Destiny 2. I started getting massive frame drops in between smooth 120fps gameplay. Turns out that by cooling the parts well, they'll try to throttle up and draw too much power, causing the power supply to reset and the laptop to drop into battery mode. This cycle repeats and causes lag spikes. Note that this is NOT the paste's fault! It works so well that it uncovers another flaw with this laptop's design. The laptop almost seemed to rely on thermal throttling to keep power draw under the power supply's limit. Fortunately, I knew about Intel XTU and MSI Afterburner. I was able to undervolt the CPU and GPU and turn down the CPU maximum and boost power until I no longer saw the battery mode drops. The result? Laptop runs cooler, quieter, and faster than it used to. I love the design of this laptop outside of its major power and thermal flaws, so I'm happy to have both at least sort of under control now.

For context, I upgraded my TIM (thermal interface material) to this from generic BB thermal paste. As I have a Threadripper 1950x and a non full coverage waterblock AIO (Corsair Platinum H150i with the TR4 bracket adapter), I decided it was worth it to use this very scary TIM. Scary primarily for two reasons:1. Liquid metal is highly conductive, so any contact with your motherboard or contacts will undoubtedly cause damage2. As the name suggests, liquid metal behaves like a liquid, meaning it rolls and moves quickly, rather than working like a paste that stays in place.A few things I would suggest when applying this:1. Start very small. As the instructions tell you, the size of a pinhead is a lot,as it’s meant to be spread thinly across the IHS (internal heat spreader) of your CPU or coldplate of your AIO. Put the tiniest amount on the included q tips or your own, not directly onto the surface you’re applying it to. You can even spread it onto your q tip with your finger to ensure it doesn’t ball up. This stuff will stain your hands and anything else it’s spread on, so be aware.2. Press hard onto your surface. I used a lot of pressure on my coldplate when applying this, which allows the liquid metal to turn into more of a thin paint layer rather than a ball that rolls around. I did this far away from any electronics with exposed PCBs, before I had even installed anything. Full coverage matters!3. After I was done applying, I actually applied a small layer of clear nail polish around the edges of my IHS. This allows for slight error, as excess liquid metal has a bit of a barrier between my liquid metal and motherboard.All in all, I would recommend this product as long as you know what you’re doing. Look up AHOC applying liquid metal if you want video instructions, he is quite informative. If you want tons of performance, this is the way to go, but be very aware of your components. Take your time. This product is slightly more expensive than I think I should be, and the applicator plunger could be better designed, but other than that I have no complaints.

I delid my i7 7700k a total of 4 times now. First 3 times I wanted to play it "safe" so I used MX4, then MX2 but within a month or two the temps skyrocketed to over 100c under synthetic load, and as high as 90c in bf5. I figured if i'm going to delid, I might as well do it properly. That's where Conductonaut comes in, the temps so far are maxing out at around 63c average under synthetic loads and I'd say around 52c average during gaming. I did reseal slightly, just two dabs of high-heat silicone in two opposite corners of the IHS as well as a little dab over the 4 contact points under the IHS so if the liquid metal were to somehow make its way over to those,they wouldn't short out.High-temp silicone: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006C62M6Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1Application of this magic metal is really quite bizzare. I found it way easier than people make it out to be, perhaps because I've messed around deliding my CPU a few times before with non-conductive thermal pastes, or perhaps it's just not that big of a deal. Anyways, I slowly squeezed the syringe with both my thumbs into a magnetic screw bowl just so I have a place for it to be while I apply it. Tip for this; you really do have to be careful when getting it out because it really does shoot out quite quick if you squeeze it out too fast and we don't want to be wasting this precious material, not that you should need any more hopefully. I used the included swab and gently smushed the tiny droplet that came out and applied it to the die itself, but it still looked like there's a lot on there so I used the little puddle off the die and applied the remainer to the bottom of the IHS and it worked like a charm! Overall, the most dangerous thing about using Conductonaut is the fact that people scare you away from it. Don't get me wrong, you certainly do have to be very careful, and squeeze the metal out far away from any electronics, but if you're comfortable to delid then you have nothing to worry about!

Came quicklywas easy to apply but hard to get it to stick to the CPU and Cooler so used to much to allow me to spread it then removed excess so it cannot dripFirst application i applied only to the CPU and my temps were exactly the same as with kryonaught, so i took my PC apart again applied it to the CPU cooler as well this time and my temps went from 82C to 66CApply to both CPU and CoolerDont use on aluminumDont allow poolingGently use syringe it can and will squirt out all over the place if you dont use both hands to push it out as slowly as possible because once it starts coming out it wont stop if you couldn't stop pushing fast enoughIf you do use to much just do this:Tip the part you applied it to,run a Q-tip from one side to the other from highest side to slowest side not pushing it over the edge, then tilt it so a corner is now highest point and move the Q-tip along the same side as before and then from the highest corner on the side you pushed the liquid metal to and it will pool at the lowest corner, now use a bunch of Q-tips and soak it up by slowly and gently rotating them around, then finally simply do a final spread pass to flatten out the Liquid Metal and your done, do it for all surfaces you apply it toIf using Intel you will need to delid the CPU this is not recommended so only do it if your ok losing your CPUIf using AMD non-Ryzen or non-Threadripper, again not recommended because you risk losing your CPUIf using AMD Ryzen or Threadripper, first check if yours is one that is soldered because if it is like my R5 2600 then you dont need to delid to get much better temperaturesHaving liquid metal on the outside of the CPU will only improve temps when the thermal paste inside the CPU is good enough, so only soldered or delidded CPU’s will show a large temperature drop

Have an Intel 8700K and at idle temps, I was seeing 56c plus at idle and throttling and hitting temps of 100c just watching Youtube right after install. I was shocked because I was using a Corsair extreme 280mm AIO.I thought I had gotten a faulty CPU and started investigating. I found many web sites and Tech tubers enraged at the factory temps of the 8700k and were basically calling out Intel for rushing it to market with cheap thermal paste.Purchased Grizzly Conductonaut and instead of spending 60 bucks on a delidding tool, I delidded my CPU with a utility blade.That method is risky and highly frowned upon in the tech community but I have been building computers long before the internet,I don't recommend this to a novice!!!After cleaning the die with the kit, spreading the compound, remounting the IHS and installing... Temperatures dropped to what was expected. I was getting 38c at idle and 56c under load with Ada 64.I even performed an auto overclock to all cores up to 5.1 GHz without any issues. I now am running at 5.1 GHz 24/7.Now temperatures remain at 43 or less while idle and never exceed 76c under heavy load... gaming, streaming and benchmarking all at once. I thought I got a dud from Intel but it turns out that with the Conductonaut... I may have hit the Silicon Lottery!Some Tips...I used the syringe with the compound to suck off the excess from the die, IHS and application tips to ensure I had a uniform, thin coating.I also lightly sanded the edge mating surface of the IHS to reduce the distance between the silicon die and the underside of the IHS because Intel had applied an excessive amount of thermal paste and I wanted complete contact of the liquid metal.and lastly, I used quality thermal paste for the CPU cooler.

I used Thermal Grizzly's compounds on my delidded Core i7 3770K and used Conductonaut under the IHS, and then used Kryonaut between the IHS and Corsair H80i v2 cooler. It dropped the max temps by 20 degrees, just as I had read online. I thought reviewers on YouTube and whatnot were exaggerating, however having set it up myself, Thermal Grizzly's thermal compounds are legit.The 20 degree drop in temperatures allowed for further overclocking of the CPU, as well as reduced fan speeds. So less noise and more performance!I feel that the reduction in noise and heat, and increase in performance justify the price for what are premium thermal compounds.Advice for application:Pressing the plunger very slowly and firmly,dispense a bead of Conductonaut the size of half a grain of rice (3mm) onto the die. Using the included black application swabs, gently rest the tip down upon the bead and sweep across the die horizontally with small brush strokes. Spread the compound evenly such that there are no streaks (thin blank areas) but also no pools of the liquid metal. Just enough to cover the surface with no streaks remaining is perfect.Using the residual liquid metal on the swab, apply it to the inside of the IHS facing the die using a swirling motion. Just enough to prime the surface is sufficient.Use only on nickel-plated, steel, or high-quality copper. Do not use on aluminum heatsinks, as it will amalgamate with the aluminum and rot out the heatsink.Take time and care in your application and you'll have great results.

...I have got a Noctua air cooler, and was constantly over 92 degrees C with the Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste, when running Prime95... installed the ConductoNaut, and immediately knocked 6 degrees C -- currently running at an average of 86 degrees C with the ConductoNaut liquid metal... THINGS TO BE CAREFUL OF: you need MUCH LESS of this "paste" when compared to normal ones -- a tiny amount of ConductoNaut goes a long way & is easily spreadable with the included q-tip (think more like... "painting" the CPU with it... and ditto with the cooler -- aim for a super-thin film, not a thick layer!) ...ALSO: this is conductive, so definitely do not overdue it... you do NOT want this spilling anywhere on the motherboard...edited a couple of days, after the first application:I cannot fault its thermal capabilities -- BUT, it leaves a nasty residue behind that is extremely difficult to clean off -- and that is only after a couple of days of good use! I had to use a non-scouring pad to get 95% of the ConductoNaut off the CPU and my heatsink... and not all of it is gone (there is still an "afterimage" of the liquid metal application etched onto both surfaces -- neither of them are Aluminum, both are deemed "safe" to use with ConductoNaut...)To sum up:Brilliant thermalsHorrible user experience (one needs to be super-careful when installing; de-installation is laborious, to say the least)UNKNOWN: whether it causes any lasting damage with multi-month use...

I have experience with liquid metal paste from a number of years ago. I thought I would give conductonaut a try with my delided 8700K and I was not disappointed. With a solid 5ghz overclock the temps dropped ~20c as others have reported. I'm using a custom EK waterblock loop which is the only way to go if you are going to push the limits on a cpu like the 8700K. At 5 ghz the cpu bounces around 60c in prime95 with AVX instructions off and at 5.2 ghz with the cache memory at 5 ghz and AVX instructions off in prime95 the temps bounce around 70c. These were multi hour runs with prime95. With AVX instructions on, I drop the cpu multiplier by 2 at 5.2 ghz. I'm using a ASUS Maximus X Formula motherboard and 3200mhz G.Skill 14 CAS timing ram. This stuff works, however I would primarily recommend it for use between the cpu silicon and IHS in a delid setup. I'm sticking with non metal paste between the IHS and CPU cooler block. The above numbers only used the conductonaut for the delid, I used another brand of paste between the cpu waterblock and the IHS. I have the Thermal Grizzly non metal paste on order so I can replace the other brand... if that tells you anything. I like this enough to go with Thermal Grizzly over my other stand by paste that is non metal. Do your research and understand what you are getting when you order the conductonaut. YouTube is a good place to start to see how to apply this and what to expect.

-It's only a gram, but given how small of an amount that is used, it's more than enough.-Saved an almost 4 year old i7-4970K that was having serious overheating issues. Thought it was the liquid AIO cooler, but it turns out that the thermal paste that Intel uses between the chip and the heat spreader dries up after a few years (a Google search will quickly point to thousands of examples of this). I delided the CPU and replaced the dried up thermal paste that Intel uses with this. My temps on a overclock of 4.7GHZ on all 4 cores, dropped from high 80s low 90s (yeah... It was overheating that bad) to high 50s and low 60s doing an AIDA64. Also the core temps were now more in sync with each other.They were all over the place before.-NOTE: Delidding is not a a simple task. On a 4 year old CPU that wasn't going to last if I didn't fix it, it was worth the risk. A brand new $300+ processor, this stuff will improve your temps, but it probably won't be enough to be worth the risk. Not to mention if you delid a CPU, you won't have much luck selling it when it comes time to upgrade.-This stuff is truly fantastic, well worth the price for the performance you receive.

They say a little goes long way, if you want absolutely insane post-deliding temperatures this is the bees knees, if you do not know what deliding is then I would do a lot of research first. After applying 2 very thin layers to the CPU die and IHS, my i5 4690K idle temperatures to just above ambient and non-overclocked load temperatures by 23°C (AIDA64 Stress test) on a Cooler Master 120MM AIO (H55 I think, had it ages) in Push-PullA word of caution, push the syringe very very very gently, and not anywhere near any electrically conductive components. It will come out super quick and go everywhere. I used a magnetic parts tray which I cleaned with isopropyl alcohol 99% and then syringed back up what exploded out the end.I was initially like “it can’t be that bad” to “oh fugde! Glad I didn’t try to do that over the CPU and motherboard”. Check out guides from the likes of Linus Tech Tips, and Gamers Nexus on YouTube before deliding and using / doing anything like this. If deliding is your thing I can absolutely recommend this without hesitation. Your millage may vary, and should you choose to do this it is at your own risk.

Used this on a PS4 Pro which was starting to sound like it wanted to take off - console was basically unusable. Used the proper method, and insulated all the conductive bits sround the die with kapton. Make no mistake, this stuff requires much more care to apply than regular thermal compound. The LM Did a stellar job initially.. almost total silence fro the PS4.. for a time.. however the racket from the fan returned after a few months, and I had to open the system again. I found that the liquid had partly dried out and stained on what appears to be a copper plate on the heatsink. Virtally impossible to clean off, but there's no actual damage done.Since switched over to Kryonaut for something that performs well and requires less maintenance but I certainly can't fault the Conductonaut itself, rather my own wisdom in using it as a permanent solution on a games console!I can see this stuff being legendary on a lapped cpu - something i might use it for yet. My best advice is to be 100% sure what the materials you're using it on are made of, protect your conductive components, and if in any doubt, use the regular stuff.

First review on amazon, but had to write something here. I originally bought conductonaut to put into my gaming laptop. However after reading about it a bit more (and specifically about not travelling well in bags, laptops on its side etc.), and my lack of recent experience (last computer build was 3+ years ago), I decided against it and ordered Kryonaut. Instead of returning it, I decided to have a ago at repasting my redundant Asus GTX 970 Turbo, which is now largely left to some cryptomining. Youtube has several guided videos for this. I had this card hitting 79 degrees C and boosting to 1108 core clock before repaste, with fan at 70% speed. The case is generally well ventilated.Putting this on was a little tricky, especially since I put some electrical tape around the die in case of shorts. However once I had the thing back in my redundant computer the temps were night and day. I have had it on 24 hours continuously, Boosting to 1304, memory at 3504, and fan at 65% with a temp of 61-62 degrees. I am absolutely amazed. Next job - to de-lid my old i5 4960K and see how high we can go!

This is the best you can get. Put this on my last 1070ti and 8700k for 20+ c less temps; I can't make them overheat with max oc on gpu and 4.9 mhz on cpu.Put it on my GF preditor helios and it benchmarks on cinebanch at 60c with full load gpu/cpu below 80c. Before that the cpu would throttle with both maxes out.Used it on my AW Area 51m and I have a 10900k in a laptop that can stay below 95c at 4.9 ghz all core at 230 watts and gpu that maxes at 53c. Before that the cpu would throttle.If I used it on my macbook pro 16, I bet it could make it last at least 30 seconds before it hits 99.7C and throttles with just a docker image. I doubt anything could make that thing not throttle,but a few more seconds would help.This is not for aluminum, but you should already know that. You can also nickel plate your copper heat sink with some nickel strips and a battery in a couple hours to avoid having to reapply ever. I have had this on my desktop with nickel plating on h150i for 2 years without reapplying.It is hard to apply, so keep going in circles until works.

Excellent product. I used this to delid a i7-7700K and it dropped temperatures under load from 75 to 63C. I'm running a liquid cooled set up for both my GPU and CPU and this product is amazing at what it does. Very easy to spread with the included q tips which are very high quality. My suggestion is to "paint" the Conductonaut on both the IHS and CPU die and close it up and glue. This tube has enough for several delids, so use a small grain of sand amount and start from there. That's all you need and it's very easy if you mask off the CPU with scotch tape (much easier to remove than electrical and works just as well for cheaper).This has one of the highest thermal conductivities on the market,although I don't think that those values are that accurate given the fact that there is no standard for testing.Only thing is to not use on Aluminum as the gallium in this product will diffuse into Aluminum and essentially make it fall apart, but on a CPU die to IHS you're fine, even with an aluminum cooler (but don't use this on the cooler itself to CPU).
