Summary and conclusion
Today’s test explains above all why the now 10-year-old Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut has lasted so long (and still can), including in the minds of users who are happy to buy and recommend this paste. Even if in theory it is no longer good enough for real top positions, in practical and daily use such a foolproof product simply cannot be killed off. Yes, pump-out effects cannot be avoided with this amount of silicone, but if you don’t grill such a paste 24/7 at full thermal level, then you can easily manage 12 months without soul pain. No, it’s not a real long-term paste, but that’s never been claimed. But it does it better than some hyped “gaming” pastes.
From that point of view, you can leave it alone, especially as the performance is still perfectly fine. In terms of price, there are certainly good alternatives that offer similar performance for less money. Or better durability with slightly less performance. Of course with the same disadvantages of such fluid pastes. This is exactly where the still nameless Paste X comes into play, which is more viscous and performs better. In the future, once production is up and running, it will certainly come entirely from Germany; at the moment I have only been able to test the small series. But these measurements make me optimistic, because the trend is clearly moving towards more viscous pastes, as can be seen with the Corsair XTM70.
And now we come to the conclusion: If the price is right (but I prefer to leave the announcement of this to Thermal Grizzly when the time is right), then the Paste X may well be a logical and worthy successor. However, a longer-lasting coexistence with the Kryonaut tested today is probably more likely. Otherwise the new paste could have been called Kryonaut New or 2. I would consider Paste X to be fairly priced at 5 euros per gram, but it’s not my decision. In the end, the market must and will decide anyway.
That concludes this thermal paste test and we will soon be moving on. However, I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate my request for more pastes, as the selection and stock can never be large enough!
