I have had good results with this stuff in the past, usually 3 to 5 degrees better than MX-4 or Noctua
But the results are worth it:unclocked @4Ghz: 24C idle, 70C full loadoverclocked @4.84Ghz: 28C idle, 80C full loadCPU
The results are WAY worth it, could've done 1-day/overnight
I ran many tests before and after application of the Kryonaut and saw some excellent results (CPU throttling and 99°F before, then 88°F and no throttling after).I did some tests 5 months after application and it's not as effective as it was initially
(If I remember correctly, it was running around 70-75 degrees Celsius at load brand new)Suffice to say, I was not expecting the results to be this positive
What I wanted to tell you with this, is that the tiny 1gr tube has enough for three applications
SO I used a fresh tube of the MX-4 and about a year after, I started seeing microstuttering, sidebanding lag, and thermal problems in general worsen from initial onset over a month.
The 1g tube was enough to do both the CPU and GPU with a little bit left over
This tube is enough to do only a few processors, but you'll want to use it on everything.
The small tube has enough for a couple of applications and after a couple of months of use I have not seen any negative changes in temp.
This is the real dealUpdate:I tried it again on my computer and it beats the new cooler master nano maker
easy to spread, don't really know if it makes better contact than other paste, Ive used MK4, Arctic Silver, cooler master
, my system processors are around 10 degrees colderWith this thermal compound, it really out performs the ceramic paste from cooler master I used before, expensive but highly recommended, but I'll give it a 4 stars due to the small portion and high price.
Probably gets like 2 degrees difference from the old stuff (generic cooler master paste)
It seems to be working better, and doesn’t stall nearly as often
This grease works very well for helping in better heat sinking my

This is the best non-metallic thermal grease on the market
Excellent thermal grease to use, I have a Xeon processor running in a workstation at home for development, and it is a stable 30c~35c, which dropped from the mid to high
I attached a size comparison pic with this review and overall, yes, you should go buy this, but get it as cheap as you can
On my intel 6700k, after re - assemblying my build it dropped about 30 C, now it has a limit of 60 C on full workload, when rendering it reaches the same limit with 60 C, a couple of times reached 65 C this stuff works, and works great, I'm really happy with my purchase

Max core temp after 1 hour Aida64 stress was 60°C, pump and fans on quiet preset
It works as a thermal paste and its the old school spread application, it dropped about 8 degrees from Arctic Ceramique 2 - expensive for the volume though
So far cpu runs about 2-3 degrees C cooler than it did with Ceramique 2
This thermal paste runs my cpu maybe 3-5 degrees Celsius, cooler than my previous thermal paste used

Very expensive for no drop in cooling degree from what the cool master thermal paste used with my corsair H115i
The first time I used Arctic Silver 5 and idle my temps were 32c and load
Arctic Silver was just popular, affordable, and always seemed better than the stock paste that the manufacturer of the cooling device packaged w/their products
And thermal conductivity is not as good as the less expensive Arctic Silver.
I'll probably use this until they come out with something better, which could be 5-10 years (similar to how Arctic Silver once reigned as champion)
(wish it came with a logo sticker)Con: it does cost a few dollars more than the ever popular Arctic Silver brand.
