Why is thermal conductivity no longer listed on the packaging of my Thermal Grizzly product specs? We indicate the amount mostly in millilitres because usage is dependent on volume, not on weight. Why does Thermal Grizzly indicate the amount in millilitres instead of grams? Our thermal pads are super soft, extremely flexible and especially recommended for components where the application of thermal grease would be difficult, for example memory chips. What is so special about the thermal pads? The nano particles are not electrically conductive and are usually provided from oxides such as aluminium-oxide. Thermal Grizzly classifies "traditional" thermal paste as a product that consists of a matrix material such as silicone oil in combination with nano particles for heat transfer. What do you consider a conventional thermal paste?

Only Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut (liquid metal) is electrically conductive. "Conventional" Thermal Grizzly thermal paste, such as Aeronaut, Hydronaut, Kryonaut and Kryonaut Extreme is not electrically conductive. Is Thermal Grizzly thermal paste electrically conductive? After several minutes, the syringe can be taken out of the water and the thermal grease can be easily applied.

If viscosity is poor, it is advisable to provide the sealed, water-tight syringe for 3 minutes in a cup of hot water (only for Kryonaut in 1.5ml and 3ml packs). The viscosity of Kryonaut thermal paste is temperature dependent. What to do if Kryonaut thermal grease is difficult to apply? These indications are merely meant for orientation and are also dependent on the individual skill of the user. A drop with a diameter of 3mm should suffice to fully cover the aforementioned surface area. Correspondingly, a 1.5ml filling will amount to approximately 10 applications. However, make sure not to use too much paste.įor how many applications will 1.5ml/3ml thermal grease last?Īssuming a CPU with a surface area of 27x27mm, a 3ml filling will amount to approximately 20 applications. The mounting pressure will spread the thermal paste between the two surfaces. What can I do?Įven though we recommend to spread the thermal paste evenly across the whole surface you can alternatively also draw a thin X across your chip. I’m missing the applicator/spatula to apply my thermal paste. How long can Thermal Grizzly thermal paste be used after opening?Īt correct storage conditions our thermal paste can usually be used for at least 3 years after opening, usually even longer.Īll Thermal Grizzly thermal grease shippings above 1.5ml include a second applicator as a spare part. After screwing it onto a syringe, it allows for easy application of the thermal grease. The applicator allows for well-aimed, controlled and even application of thermal grease. How do I use the applicator included with the thermal grease? This bag is of course resealable to ensure reusability even after long storage times. The thermal pads are also shipped in a special zipper storage bag to keep them from drying out or staining their surroundings. How do I keep the thermal pads from drying out? For maximum shelf life please put the product back into the bag and make sure to close it with the original cap. Thermal Grizzly packaging is coated from the inside to prevent any kind of UV damage or other environmental influences on the product. Should I put the syringe back into the original packaging after application? Avoid any fast sweeping motion, one application across a typical Intel- or AMD-CPU should take at least 3 seconds - The slower you move, the better. The application has to be performed slowly and with some pressure from the top. In winter or in cold conditions we recommend to put the syring on your radiator (heater) or use a hair dryer to heat up the syringe. Make sure your thermal paste has at least room temperature before applying. We recommend to clean the surface with TG Remove or any similar cleaner which ideally contains acetone. Prior to application make sure that the surface is clean and there are no residues of any kind. It is difficult to spread the thermal paste and/or it comes off the surface while spreading.
