The black 'Q-tip' applicators for Conductonaut are abrasive on the flattened end. Hold it nearly vertical and rub in a circle with some pressure applied. As soon as the abrasive tip removes the micro thin layer of corrosion that's always present the metal mixture will 'wet' and allow you to spread it. This chemical bond is what helps give the most excellent thermal transfer characteristics.
a few times i tested my cpu and gpu on gaminglaptop (msi laptop ge72) with same conditions: coolerboost speed, cpu and gpu load, frequency... result: stock: cpu-95*C gpu-85*C Hygronaut: cpu-80*C gpu-70*C Conductonaut-cpu-70*C gpu-65*C I hope it helps somebody :)

Sorry but this comparison is useless. You can't do a comparison with different clock settings. So the difference between Kryonaut and Conductonaut is even way bigger
Different clocks is a consequence of a better thermal paste. Using Conductonaut the cpu can handles with higher clocks due a more stable temperatures. The instructions inside the CPU understand this and can give more frequencys...simple like that...
@@bfbonadiman but not everyones system thermal throttles. For someone wondering whats the temp difference under same performance this video doesnt help
I find that unless you take all the mechanical steps, then liquid metal is just a hassle. Lap your CPU, use the contact fame, THEN go liquid metal. A lapped I9 Raptor Lake with a contract frame and Kryonaut Extreme, will outperform a non-lapped CPU with Condutonaut in a stock frame by 8-10 degrees.
Condocnaut is a pain in the azz to apply and after a while when you want to re apply and clean the cpu you have to put so much effort and it still wont clean properly, basically ruining the ihs of the cpu and the cooler plate aswell...ive been using it for years but its just not worth it anymore
True depends how many rads you have and have large your reservoir and how much liquid is inside. Cpu and GPU thermal Wong reach it peaks not until the water reached it limit first.
In other videos I have seen that some dissipating pastes degrade after 6 months, the same thing happens to the liquid metal? And if so... To what time does it happen? 🤔
This liquid metal does not degrade over time. I had my i9 9900KS delidded and Conductonaut applied directly to the CPU die under the IHS by Silicone Lottery. After a year I removed the IHS and inspected the TIM, it looked as good as the day it was applied. At that time I removed and replaced the Conductonaut and there was no difference in cooling performance.
is it me but WOULDN'T THE TEMPERATURE BE HIGHER ON THE RIGHT BECAUSE THE FREQUENCY IS HIGHER AS WELL AS THE VOLTAGE IF YOU ARE DOING A THERMAL PASTE COMPARISON SHOULD ALL THE PARAMETERS BE THE SAME FOR BOTH TESTS BECAUSE THE SCREENSHOT ON THE RIGHT AS FAR AS VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY DOESN'T MATCH THE SCREENSHOT ON THE LEFT!!!???
Kryonaut seems like it has a curing period of around 48 hours from my testing; resulting in better temps over testing right away. Here are my thoughts as far as Coffee Lake goes on an 8700k if you're overclocking. Use Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut between the CPU die and a RockItCool Copper IHS for LGA 1151 (About 15% more surface area + flatter surface, and around 5c~ difference). Between the copper IHS and heatsink (NEVER aluminum, preferably nickle-based coating) use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and cover the entire cpu with a thin layer. You can get slightly better results using Conductonaut between the IHS if using the OEM heatsink (use scuff pad top surface in the case of liquid metal), but if using copper IHS there will be permanent staining. Not really worth it imo.
Not sure what you're trying to say. If you're telling me that a higher vcore and frequency are supposed to produce lower temps, you're completely wrong. If you're saying that it's supposed to be close to the same result because voltage and frequency were higher on the liquid metal example, fair enough. The comparison is still inherently flawed, though. If you directly compare something, you need to apply the same metrics and conditions, otherwise the result is inaccurate at best. The criticism about the different CPU settings is completely valid.
Hey you forgot to say about the con. On mixture with copper to aluminium on the situation That will cause warranty avoid. 😂 At the end unless your cpu are older or cheap cpu to try. If high end cpu like i9 9900k or 3950 that do at your Own risk..😂
is it still sealed closed? that would be the biggest thing. otherwise, observe the consistency it has in youtube videos and see if your paste matches, if its thicker i would suggest replacing it.
Test is flawed as hell but it still proves conductonaut is much more capable than traditional pastes. Change the channel name though...Linus would be disappoint
i heard that the kryonaut will scratch your cpu heatspreader and heatsink. To kry or not, it depends on luck. Dang. If you gotten the bad batch, you'll kry due to scratch mark.
It scratch my bnew shiny Nickle plated copper cpu water block. And since I don't have GPU atm and I only borrowed one to do a loop test with only distilled water and try to OC my r7 to since it's also my 1st time overclocking. After testing I returned the GPU and disassemble everything re cleaned and I notice that there is some left over even I used 99.9% alcohol I though it was left over not until I clean the block with toothpaste and toothbrush and reassemble it never goes away so it scratched my Nickle plating LOL. I dismantle the loop for 2 reason I run a small amount of distilled vinegar with distilled water to try to fully clean the rads again (2nd time but in the loop) and I have a filter set up but some still bypass it and entered the cpu block fins and the only way to completely drain and dry everything is to dismantle it.
Wow, those thermals are pretty poor compared to the VID My old 4790K at 1.35v with Noctua paste under the IHS, runs at about the same temp. Waitying for some Conductonaut to arrive for it, hoping that it will keep the temp in check at 1.4v so I can finally get a chip to 5GHz
@@noobplays8832 Fair call, guess im comparing to my Supremacy Evo block, and 280mm rad. On a side note, got some LM TIM under my IHS, ran up to 1.45 VID, still couldnt get past 4.9GHZ, guess I just have crap silicone lol, but at least the temps stayed under 90.
Good review ! I replaced an already decent aliminium cooler push-pull with a Noctua NH-U12A + conductonaut. 75 degrees at high load instead of 85..... I guess the noctua and the grizzly are both worth 5 degrees :P. I ordered the noctua because conductonaut should NOT be used on an aluminium cooler (baseplate is nikkel layered on noctua)

Well I bet the difference would be even bigger if you use the same Vcore and same frequency :)
hahahaha :)
(:
Probably hit thermal limit and it downclocked
that's what I was going to say, he had an overclock temperature on conductonot and it still performed better than the kryonaut.
Watching this now, he probably just had precision boost overdrive on and didn't realize the gains in the clock speed. Huge win for Conductonaut
you need fix same Frequency and vcore for both tests

Who mistaked this for LTT, and thought did they really made a 4 minute video? 🤔
Why are your overclockes not identical in both tests?
Hey guys I am going to repaste my PS4 Pro and I do not want to risk using liquid metal. Is Kryonaut the best regular thermal paste?
Listen bud. Use the same clock speed when testing.
Even more importantly, use the same voltage.
@Jamell Cortedano What did the guy ever do to you? Personal attacks don't help anyone, yourself least of all.
This does feel like a slanted review.
How long it will last for optimal performance?
Yes.
Many years.
i want use for macbook pro 2015 i need cheap one . aerounat is good ?
Honestly they should show this application technique in your video, as a QR code link on the back of their Conductonaut packets. 🤔

damn your cpu runs hot. 2700x at 3.7ghz managed to run at 81c?? bad cooler i guess
when doing a test with watercooling then 15 mins isnt enough, stress it for like 30 may even 40 mins

Did you explain the leakage?! Lol Broken motherboard by now.
My processor i7 4790k. gaming Temps are in the 85-90°C rang. reduced my temperatures best solution liquid metal or thermal paste?
Just use thermal paste, use a good quality one like kryonaut or noctua nt-h1. The extra hassle for liquid metal is not worth it.
Why are the frequencies between tests different?

ok it works 400mhz more same temperature dude man and +0,4V
Look at the temp before telling him to test with the same frequencies. Ever a HIGHER freq give better temp result than a LOWER

Conductonaut is more for delid stuff rather than be used as normal thermal paste

Uhh... I've had my thermal grizzly lying around for almost 3 years straight never getting used. is it still usable even after that time period?
is it still sealed closed? that would be the biggest thing. otherwise, observe the consistency it has in youtube videos and see if your paste matches, if its thicker i would suggest replacing it.
I'd say no, after a while I notice mine getting kinda hardish/dry even with a tight seal.
You forget to put metal on the heatsink.
Test is flawed as hell but it still proves conductonaut is much more capable than traditional pastes. Change the channel name though...Linus would be disappoint
Can t you put LM I the middle and ceramic in the edges?
This dude used .4 more fucking volts with the conductonaut and seemed disappointed as to why the difference is 4 degrees lmfao
You tested it on 2700x. ^^ dont expect much of a difference
this test is defunt as you core frequencies are way off on the before / after. Redo with proper settings.
