Product Information

Thermal compounds might always be compared and debated over, but the simple fact remains: PC system building needs thermal compounds to effectively dissipate thermal loads. Without them, our beloved gaming and content-producing machines would struggle to keep components cool during heated frag sessions, heavy workstation computations, or just simply browsing the web. Interestingly, when burning the MSI Kombustor card (this is what we will see in the most demanding games) the picture is somewhat different - the temperature on the graphics accelerator chip drops by 3C and the memory is parity. From a good deal of reading and research, I've discovered that user results have varied greatly from case to case and when using these after market frames, with some tests showing no improvement at all, some showing slight improvement and still some, as with my own example, showing rather significant improvements in CPU thermal performance.

Gelid Extreme was popular a while ago and performs similar as TG or some others, but it's not available in stores recently. From personal experience and personal testing of thermal pastes, I used on my loop like NT-H1, NT-H2, Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, Hydronaut, GC-Extreme, Arctic Cooling MX-4,MX-5, Thermalright TFX, SYY-157,ZF-EX and Kingpin KPx Performance only scales by a limited amount with improved cooling capacity with Ryzen 7000. This also means that there is less of a benefit to running fans at higher performance levels. As such, it can be useful to see how coolers compared when noise normalized for quiet, silent operation. It’s important to know these criteria because even if your thermal paste can support a high heat transferability, if it can’t be applied easily and evenly in a thin and flat layer, then that aspect can negate its heat-transferring qualities. Additionally, electrical conductivity will give you a hint as to how meticulous the application process will be overall. Modern high-end CPUs, whether Intel or AMD, are difficult to cool in intensive workloads. In the past, reaching 95 degrees Celsius-plus on a desktop CPU was sually a cause for concern – but with today’s fastest processors, it is considered normal operation. Similar behavior has been present in laptops for years due to cooling limitations in tight spaces.Arctic Cooling MX-4 or MX-5 I was using on 3 builds in past and to the date(I built them like 8 months ago) I didn't replace TIM there, temperatures are still same and took apart only one of build and from TIM spread and viscosity of TIM, TIM is still okay and didn't dry out on GPUs, all 3 builds are running 3080 or 3080Ti and 3090

We'll go into our breakdown of how we test these thermal pastes below, but the key takeaway here is that a single thermal compound can perform differently based upon several variables, such as what type of cooler and mount you use. To cover all the bases, we've tested every thermal paste with three variables: Measured the temperature of the CPU while using the thermal paste for the first 3 minutes while idle and calculated the idle average ZF-EX is another great TIM for money, used that on my 5950X and on RTX 2080Ti Strix and Zotac RTX 2080Ti AMP and never had any problems with this TIM, didn't tested this TIM on RTX 3090 but I would suspect it would perform quite close to TFX or SYY-157Taking a look at the last column on the right from the table, we can see the green values ​​of the reduced temperature, relative to the MX4 thermal paste. We’ll start by first looking at performance with no power limits enforced whatsoever. There are “only” ten comparison coolers shown here, so I’ve included some of the testing results I have submitted to Tom’s Hardware to give a better idea on how Thermalright’s Frozen Notte compares to other coolers. These results are directly comparable because they were performed using the same system, by the same person (me!). SYY-157 is again good paste, easy to spread, cheap and performance is on par with TFX or Kryonaut, that thermal paste will not dry out after while, used that on few builds and no issues, this TIM I was using on my another RTX 3090 and no issues, temperatures was within 1-2°C from TFX and core to GPU hot-spot delta was in 8-10°C
