best thermal paste

[brancamartino1]

hi guys. i have a few questions regurding thermal paste.
1st: is there a big difference between thermal grizzly hydro and mx4? considering i can get 20grams of mx4 for just 16 euros?

also, what's better Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut or MasterGel Maker?

how many grams does the maker have? 4g like the grizzly?

Yeah it's a 4grm syringe.
You get a spreader & a one use alcohol cleaning swab.

Maybe a couple of degrees:

that's really not a lot, i guess imma buy 20 grams of mx4 since it's so cheap and then buy some liquid metal for my laptop.
do you have any idea what's the thermal conductivity of the Coollaboratory Liquid Pro? also any idea how much is in a siringe? it looks way smaller than the Grizzly Conductonaut

You don't need to spread mx4 , it's a very thin paste.

Mastergel is fairly thick stuff & I would honestly recommend using the included spatula to spread it on the cpu heatplate , just leaving 2-3mm clear round the outside edges.

Its not a big job,an extra 10 seconds.

I dropped 5c over as5 & I will use & recommend mastergel every single time now.

As a bonus It is 100% the best paste for gpu repasting too, has the perfect consistency.

A 4 gram tube will do 12-15 installs you know.

Unless you're building a system every week 20 gram of mx4 will probably expire long before you get round to using it.
