Thermal Grizzly in Lebanon.

Aeronaut thermal paste

Aeronaut is a high-performance paste for CPUs and GPUs that is easy to spread. Thermal Grizzly lists it as not electrically conductive, so it is safe around components. Choose the size by how often you build:

• 1 g: one or two applications, ideal for a single build or a repaste.
• 7.8 g: for builders and repairers who repaste often.
• 26 g: for workshops and bulk use.

Minus Pad thermal pads

Pads fill gaps between components and heatsinks where paste can't, such as graphics card memory and power stages, M.2 SSDs and console chips. Minus Pad Basic and Advance come in 100 x 100 mm sheets at 0.5 mm; Minus Pad High Compression comes in 120 x 100 mm two-packs at 1 mm and 3 mm. Match the thickness of the pad you are replacing, then cut to size.

Thermal Grizzly Putty

Putty is a soft, mouldable compound that fills uneven gaps of different heights in one go. That makes it handy on graphics cards, where memory chips and power stages sit at different heights under the cooler. Putty Basic comes in 30 g and 100 g, and Putty Advance in 30 g.

Which one do you need?

• CPU or GPU die: Aeronaut paste.
• Even, known gap (memory, SSD): a Minus Pad of the right thickness.
• Uneven gaps on a graphics card: Putty.

Tips

Clean old compound with isopropyl alcohol first, use a thin layer of paste, and when replacing pads, measure the old ones before removing them. Too thick a pad can stop the cooler seating on the main chip.

Thermal Grizzly for graphics cards

Repasting and re-padding an older graphics card can bring temperatures and fan noise back down. Note the original pad thickness for each area before you take it apart, then use Aeronaut on the GPU and Minus Pads or Putty on the memory and power stages.
