    Average Experience

    Not sure if I got a bad batch, but my temps were acceptable at best. Not good especially with my AIO cooler from Corsair. My idle temps on my Ryzen 5950X was around 45 C. The moment I switched to Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, I hit 36-37. When I asked around if my temps were fine at 45 C, I got a general consensus it was fine. But coming from an i9 9900K, I felt like it should be at least similar in temps. Since it wasn't as good as the other guys I had to knock off a star considering the competition did a little better. And the last star docked was the stencil for the application. Definitely bias towards Intel which made using the stencil on AMD Ryzen a little more challenging. I would have preferred to have an AMD stencil included as well. So overall, pretty average experience I'd say. Between the mild cooling capabilities, and stencil issues, I would say it's a C+

    I tried the paste for a day and was not impressed. The paste was runny, so i wasted some and then applied the second attempt. I thought that the paste would need a spreader, but instead it needed toilet paper.

    I was trying to copy the Vox PC build guide and ended up needing 3 more tubes to get their measurements right. While other people recommend a pea size, the Vox was doing it right. In all seriousness don’t use that much

    This is a great thermal paste, doesn’t thin easily, doesn’t get clay-dry, and the dispenser has a nice size hole to control amount. States non-conductive, no concerns if paste contacts multiple circuits.

    This heat paste had the best thermal conductivity rating of the selection at my Best Buy. It comes with a mask and a easy to use applicator. I did not even make a mess with it. Overall it's a good product.
