Question Thermal Grizzly Duronaut ??

New kid on the block but a google search reveals nothing. Anyone with experience or any proper reviews ?. Thermal Grizzly website says little as usual.
Looks like it's pretty new, perhaps no one has reviewed it yet. I do love how the product description goes into very specific detail on....the components of any thermal past (silicone oil, aluminum, other stuff). A thermal conductivity number would be nice at the very least..

It's supposed to be used with servers and other applications that are not shut down for years and work at full capacity all that time. "Normal" pastes my experience "pump out" or dry out when faced with such demands and would probably have to be changed once a year with downtime. Thermal conductivity number is not too important, most modern pastes are within couple of % of each other.

One of the final versions of Duronaut thermal pastes was tested by IGORSLAB before its release on the market. Its working name was Paste X. The version tested by Igor was around Thermalight version 8 and 9 (most parameters very similar), but its radically changed composition had a significant impact on its efficiency and, above all, durability (no pumping out) and IGORS initially estimated it at the very top, i.e. classified it among a group of pastes from the koncern Dow Corning > Dowsil 5888, Dowsil 5550, KOLD-01 (rebrand Dowsil 5888) and others like Maxtor 10, SAVIO GLACIER TG 04 (rebrand Maxtor 10), XTM70, TF8-9, TFX. FROST X45, Shin Etsu 7921-5 (not yet tested by Igor lab).

A table of thermal pastes is shown here for long-term performance, especially for its suitability for the GPU card's CPU.

You can see how weak the Kryonaut thermal paste (also its Extreme version) was in this respect, and falling sales finally forced Grizzly to completely change the composition of the new product. Kryonaut was an artificial creation of the so-called Chinese firecracker because he has with almost 24% silicone where other pastes had 7-17% (MX6 >7%). Kryonaut has strong start and a quick end. The paste was supposed to reach the best, low temperatures immediately, and the fact that after 14-30 days (on gaming computers) it was already a chip and drastically lost its properties was a secondary matter. Youtubers continued to pump it up in the rankings for years and new players bought it like it was made of gold :)
