This stuff is great! It dropped 20C off my CPU. Don't squirt it on the die, squirt a small drop onto the included swab and spread it. Watch a Youtube video to see how to apply it. Gamers Nexus has the most in depth information on applying this stuff as well as the delid process.

Excellent results with a 8700K delid. Temps dropped ~20c under prime95 load.

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.

Mine didn't come with the nozzle adapter to do smaller ...

Mine didn't come with the nozzle adapter to do smaller drops, so I just had to be careful to not use too much. This was my first time using this stuff, and let me tell you, a tiny bit goes a long way. If you see any puddling, streaks, or other inconsistencies, just dab off the excess with a paper towel and spread it out evenly with the q-tip. You need to make it as thin as possible on the surfaces while still having coverage. This stuff isn't really any more expensive than any other thermal paste because it takes so much less to do the job.

THIS STUFF WORKS!!

Holy cow the temperature difference..... where have you been all my life. On a side note... please look up some guides and videos... this stuff does not go on like normal thermal paste and a tiny tiny bit goes a very very long way. Grab a peice of metal to practice on with a small dot so you can see how it behaves on the included cotton swab. I wish the syringe it comes in was not a push plunger and instead a screw plunger. A tiny movement on the plunger will get you a lot. What i did to get small amounts was use a clamp to hold the plunger and the tabs and turn the screw to get small amounts out.

Used for ps4 pro

As advertise this is a liquid metal thermal compound which is highly conductive and can mess up whatever you used this on if not applied properly. I used this product on my ps4 pro to see if it would bring the fan noise down to a reasonable sound. Testing So to create a base line the thermal paste that I already had on my PS4 Pro was the Thermal Grizzly Aeronaut which ran me about $15 bucks for the 3.9 gram size. In idle the fan noise was around 50db give or take. Underload the game that I used in my initial testing was rainbow six siege and played it about an hour which the fans noise ramped up to 87dB which is basically noticeably loud After getting my baseline I then the took my ps4 pro apart to apply the Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut(this also ran me about 15for this thermal compound) once I cleaned the thermal paste I already had on. Once I got the thermal paste on I basically did the same thing which idle noise was around 40db and unload was around an amazing 60-66db give or take which is a pretty good improvement. In Conclusion Unfortunately I was unable to get thermal testing cause I don't own a thermal gun of that nature but other then that this is an amazing product and I highly recommend it IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING( and I emphasize the know what your doing part). The thermal paste comes with 2 qtips, 2 alcohol pads and two different nozzles for applying the thermal compound. You do not need to add a large size of thermal compound to what ever it is your applying this to use only a tiny drop and spread it around with the Qtips provided the instruction are pretty much self explanatory. if you do happen to apply to much by accident just simply switch the nozzle to the black one and suck it back up(I had to do this 2x cause the liquid came out faster then I anticipated) .

This actually lowered temps ~8c over mx-2

This actually works, I'm surprised. Temperature differences are likely to not be as large as mine, I am using a 5820k @4.6ghz, 1.35V. It's stable at 1.25V but under extremely heavy AVX/AVX2 it crashes, hence the 1.35V. This is a very large amount of heat output(~190W without AVX). I am using the old version of prime95(25.x) for these temperature readouts. With MX:2 the hottest core was 95C, now it is 87C. You can see the temperature for yourself, in the pictures attached. Of note is the rightmost column which has the max temperature values. So if you are running something that produces a massive heat output, this is a good purchase. Otherwise, it will probably only yield you a 3 degree temperature difference or so. I probably applied more than I should have, the blob I used was pea sized on the CPU. I put very little on the heat sink to compensate.

Phenomenal Performance!

This stuff is the real deal. Absolute closest thing to soldering the IHS to the CPU die as you can get. It legitimately dropped the temperatures of my i5 7600k by 23 degrees Celsius. That’s not an exaggeration, the factory TIM really is that bad. This stuff comes in nice packaging, and has useful tools both for applying a small amount and removing excess liquid metal so you can reuse it later. It’s also a little bit easier to spread around than their direct competitor, CLU. They both perform nearly identically (maybe 1 or 2 degrees off but well within the margin of error) so just pick which one you prefer and you’ll be set. I know I’ll be using more Thermal Grizzly in the future, this stuff is amazing!

Amazing!

Remarkable difference over non-metallic TIM. This product is NOT for the faint of heart, beginners could potentially ruin their machine or processor. That being said, if you do your homework, this is a fun procedure and product. This product will only be worth it if you delid your processor and apply directly to the die. You only need to spread the smallest amount required to "wet" the processor die and IHS. I don't believe you will see much of a difference applying this outside the heat spreader, not to mention it's fully conductive, so if you get any of it beading off or a splash on your mobo, you could really mess things up. Also, this is a gallium amalgamation, and it WILL ruin anything aluminum it touches, this is critical. Used in conjunction as follows: -----H150i PRO water block----- TG Hydronaut -----------Stock Intel IHS----------- TG Conductonaut --------------8700k die--------------- I was able to obtain a synthetic benchmark test that was 25 Deg C colder in this configuration vs Ceramiqe 2 (In place of hydronaut) and factory Intel TIM (In place of conductonaut). ABSOLUTELY worth the efforts and cost.

A godsend for laptops!

Last summer I purchased a gaming laptop with a 1070. Gaming laptops have notorious stock thermal compound. Being lazy I just ignored the temps and fan. After 30 minutes of PUBG my laptop would be at 80-95c CPU and 75-80c GPU. A few days ago I finally replaced the stock thermal compound with this stuff. I used the electrical tape method. When I first turned my laptop back on I thought for a minute I forgot to plug the fans back in because they were so quiet. I fired up some games and after 30 minutes I was at 66c CPU and 70c GPU. The best part by far is the lowered fan noise. This laptop is so quiet now. I wish I had done this months ago. Highly recommend Conductonaut

Highly recommended

Great product. Just take your time and be sure you've done the necessary prep work (tape over area around die) to avoid any mistakes. Point tube and point away from CPU die until TIM begins to flow out. Some comment on liquid metal "shooting out" of the tube onto the chip, motherboard, tables, ect. Take your time and all will be well. Replacing the factory TIM with Conductonaut (and replacing the black silicon seal) on my i7700K resulted in a 22-23C degree drop in CPU temps when under full load (Prime 95 V26.6) with lots of Noctua air cooling. System is 24/7 stable at 5.1 Ghz at 1.3 Vcore. Amazing.
