Need some good review versus the current market line ups

Caring1 · May 12, 2020

Did EVGA just realize the massive profit to be made from Thermal Paste?

PrEzi · May 12, 2020

Would interest me how it fares against known thermal pastes like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, Arctic Silver 5, Cooler Master Marstergel Pro and Nano, Noctua NT-H2 etc.

Update /// on the back photo we can see that the thermal paste has
Thermal Conductivity of 1,6 W/m-k
Thermal Resistance of 0,035 C/W

vs
Thermal Conductivity 12,5 W/mk
Thermal Resistance 0.0032 K/W
of Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.

hmmmmm....
Is it... clearly worse :confused:

?

MX2 is king price/perf ratio

I was thinking the same. I think thermal compound is one of the most lucretive business since the cost of a small tube can rival the cost of a good case fan.

Based on those numbers, this product is quite inferior to Kryonaut. According to this Guru 3D shootout, this stuff is among the worst performers on the list for W/m-k. However, if someone made a mistake and put the decimal in the wrong spot then it would be comparable to Kryonaut.

Kryonaut likes to score bare dies if the cooler slips.

I've found KPX performs better than Kryonaut anyway.

This EVGA paste has specs that make it look like the OEM zinc oxide white crap paste. So yeah... Why?
