    Hello guys!
    I'm thinking about repasting my gt80 and can't decide which thermal paste to use.
    I've found pretty new Cooler Master Master Gel Maker Nano thermal paste, however there is only few reviews about it. Some say it is same as Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. Maybe someone of you tried this thermal paste?
    Also I'm thinking about Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut liquid thermal paste, however I'm a little bit worried about it since it is conductive.

    Get Arctic MX-4 and call it a day. I've tried dozens of pastes over the years and the difference between them has been so minimal in terms of performance that it really boils down to price, ease of use, and ease of cleanup which MX-4 excels in.

    MX-4 pumps out easily.. it's not a good laptop paste... I would suggest Gelid GC Extreme which is easy to apply, withstands higher temps for longer and overall is just superior.. (although double the price)
