Duronaut Thermal Paste, 2g | Enhanced Durability for Maximum Thermal Conductivity While Overclocking CPU/GPU/PS4/PS5/Xbox

Here's a tip to make spreading this thermal paste WAY easier- just put it in your pants pocket for 10-15 minutes. Your body heat will warm up it up just enough to make it easy to spread. I went down a rabbit hole of researching different thermal pastes after my Arctic MX-4 pumped out super early. I decided on Thermal Grizzly after watching the videos of their factory and hearing the CEO's passion for cooling products, which made me feel better about buying it. Nothing beats a product made with love. Once it arrived, I loved the amount of different applicators available in the package- even for the 2 gram size. It was easy to apply after leaving it in my pocket for 10 minutes to warm up and spread well. Even then, I found the paste to be surprisingly thick and requiring a lot of pressure and careful spreading with the spatula to get a good coating. After applying, I was slightly underwhelmed with the temperatures. However, after about a month of use, I noticed something "kick in" and temperatures decreased a couple degrees. This paste seems to do the best for me under larger thermal loads (e.g. stress testing and benchmarking)- where I saw almost a 4 degree C improvement using Duronaut compared to MX-4. 2 months in, I'm super happy with the decision. I'm excited to see how the performance keeps up through the 6-8 month mark and what the longevity is like. Duronaut (and the rest of Thermal Grizzly's paste lineup) are premium products that might not get you the best value for money, but in my mind, the performance and passion that went into this product more than justify the premium paid for it. I will support TG over a big box brand any day, and in that sense, value for money is excellent. 2 grams is also plenty enough for multiple on multiple applications, and I'm happy with this product.

The paste spreads very smoothly, making installation easy and clean, and it covers the CPU and GPU evenly without any clumps. After reassembling, temperatures dropped several degrees under heavy gaming sessions, and the fans don’t ramp up as aggressively as before. The laptop runs quieter and cooler overall, which makes long gaming sessions much more comfortable. This thermal paste feels like a premium product — stable, reliable, and long-lasting. The 2‑gram size was perfect for my laptop and still leaves a bit for future maintenance. If you own a gaming laptop like the m17 R3, I highly recommend Duronaut.

Yes, it's hard to spread, no it's not designed for your gaming rig but if properly and patiently applied you will see benefits even if slight. This stuff is top notch for Server grade CPUs along with High End Mobile Workstation laptops. You can actually smell the moisture contents burning off and sealing that CPU to the cooler. Honestly you can use this stuff for about anything if you are patient enough to apply it. Time will tell but it seems on par with HP high end factory paste. I'm expecting 3-5 years solid performance which covers enterprise.

Contrary to other reviews, I found this very easy to apply. Just make an X on the CPU, put down your heatsink, and you are set. You can add an extra dot to two of the corners of the X if you want to be on the safe side, but it's really not too hard. Dropped my temps from 94C to 80C when in CPU-demanding games like Deadlock. Highly recommend, you shouldn't need any more than this amount, and it's cheap as hell for how good it is.

The Thermal Grizzly Duronaut thermal paste lives up to its name, offering truly impressive cooling performance that kept my CPU running at an incredibly cool and steady temperature of 27−34 ∘ C. The moment I applied it, I noticed a significant drop in idle temperatures compared to other pastes I've used. This level of thermal efficiency not only ensures a quiet system but also provides excellent thermal headroom for demanding tasks and overclocking, keeping the CPU well within safe operating ranges even under heavy load. The performance aspect of this paste is absolutely top-tier and for that alone, it's worth considering for any serious PC builder or enthusiast. However, a major point to consider is the application process. The paste has a very thick, almost clay-like consistency that makes it exceptionally difficult to spread evenly across the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). It required considerable pressure and patience to get a proper, thin layer, and I found myself needing to be extra careful to avoid air bubbles. This is not a "simple smear" type of paste; you'll need to work with it. Ultimately, the Thermal Grizzly Duronaut is a premium product with a trade-off. If you are comfortable with a challenging application process and value exceptional thermal performance above all else, this is a fantastic choice. The stable and low temperatures it provides are well worth the initial struggle with spreading the paste. But if you're a beginner or prefer a more user-friendly, forgiving application, you might want to look elsewhere.

Lenovo ThinkPad W520. idle fan speed 0x40 (max) is 45C. idle fan speed regulated normal is 50C. CPU (i7 2760QM) stress test 73C. GPU (Quadro 2000M) stress test 64C. Overall stress test with everything selected except disks is right at 80C, going down to 79C and back up to 80C, never above 80C.!!! This is amazing! It used to be just the CPU stress test would give 96C @ 14% throttle, GPU stress was 82C, and doing overall stress test would throttle CPU and run clock at 3090 MHz. Now full 3190 MHz, no throttle, cool 80C. If you can imagine thermal pads that are used on mosfets and NAND, well this "thermal paste" is not really paste, it don't have paste consistency, it's more of a thermal pad in a tube that you squeeze out and try to spread across CPU and GPU, good luck with that!! Application is not easy. However, results are highly rewarding. I definitely recommend this thermal paste for purchase and in the future I will be trying other thermal grizzly products. To be totally honest, I did not expect such great results.

Ive always taken amazing care of my computers equipment. Always replacing paste every 3 years and cleaning every 3 months. Ive used kryonought in the past with outstanding results. This paste gave me more FPS and made the fans silent even with my ear against the case. Very easy to spread in comparison to other less thick paste. Just pull slow and its perfect. The last time I used grizzly I replaced the paste after 3 years and it didn't seem to need replacement. Exited to see just how long It can go. Ive heard ot last 5-8 years. That was the kryonought. Ive just purchased the duronought.

I bought this paste to use for a newly acquired TR4-2990WX cpu (an impressive piece of kit). This paste goes on thick, It comes with a couple of tools for application, I found the "scraper" style blade to be the best choice for spreading it thinly across the die. The other tool was not useful, it required more open space than my threadripper motherboard and full atx case allowed for. Its probably better to use a card to do the application of the compound, than the tools that came with it. 2 grams is barely enough for the surface of this cpu. This paste tears and clumps very easily, achieving an even spread of this is trivial, providing you have the space around the socket to work, In my case, I was just replacing a processor and heat sink, and so this part took some serious attention to detail. I measured my tube before dispensing with a laboratory style balance, and I was at roughly 4.45 Grams of weight. After dispensing the entire contents of the tube, I was at 2.67 grams. this was not 2 grams of paste, but probably "Close enough". I did examine the contents of the tube and the plunger was fully engaged but compound remained in the tube. I'm assuming thats where the remaining product was. No reasonable application of force would get the remaining product to dispense. Finally the installation instructions came in many different languages, but sadly, english was not among them. Luckily, this wasn't my first re-gooping of a cpu, and it wont be my last. I can only hope that the products thermal performance over time is better than the packaging and accessory quality.

J’ai utilisé la Thermal Grizzly (notamment la version Kryonaut) pour le remplacement de pâte thermique sur mon PC, et honnêtement on comprend vite pourquoi cette marque est autant recommandée dans le milieu du hardware. Dès l’application, on sent que le produit est sérieux. La texture est assez facile à étaler, pas trop liquide ni trop épaisse, ce qui permet une répartition homogène sur le processeur sans difficulté particulière. On n’a pas besoin d’en mettre beaucoup, une petite quantité suffit largement. Le vrai point fort, c’est évidemment les températures. Après remplacement, j’ai constaté une baisse visible par rapport à une pâte thermique standard. En charge (jeux, streaming, tâches lourdes), les températures sont plus stables et surtout mieux maîtrisées, ce qui permet au CPU de maintenir ses performances plus longtemps sans monter inutilement en chauffe. Sur un usage type gaming ou rendu, la différence peut ne pas sembler “spectaculaire” au premier abord, mais sur la durée et en charge prolongée, la stabilité thermique est clairement meilleure. C’est là que le produit prend tout son sens. Autre point important : la qualité globale et la fiabilité dans le temps. La pâte reste stable, ne sèche pas rapidement et garde de bonnes performances sur plusieurs mois d’utilisation, ce qui est rassurant pour un montage PC sérieux. Il faut aussi noter que c’est une pâte thermique orientée performance, donc elle est surtout intéressante pour les utilisateurs exigeants : gaming intensif, overclocking, streaming, ou machines haut de gamme comme un i9 ou un gros GPU. Points forts : ✔ Excellentes performances thermiques ✔ Baisse des températures CPU/GPU ✔ Facile à appliquer ✔ Bonne stabilité dans le temps ✔ Idéal PC gaming / haut de gamme ✔ Marque reconnue dans le monde du hardware Points à noter : ➖ Prix plus élevé que les pâtes thermiques classiques ➖ Gain surtout visible sur configs exigeantes Verdict : Très clairement une des meilleures pâtes thermiques du marché. Ce n’est pas un “gadget”, mais un vrai upgrade pour optimiser les températures et la stabilité d’un PC performant.

Zdaje efekt sprawdzony na i9-12900 i jestem mega zadowolony. Najważniejsze: ciężko się nakłada go. Są sposoby, aby na chwilę wsadzić do ciepłej wody, wtedy ponoć łatwiej się go rozprowadza.

Idle temp down to 28 degrees celsius

Es de muy buena calidad y dura bastante se nota el cambio cuando la aplique a mi laptop

Cambié la paste térmica de mi portátil después de casi ocho años y el resultado es una bajada de temperatura de 15-20 grados en CPT y 10-15 grados en GPU. Este producto trae todo lo necesario para la aplicación y es una cantidad más que suficiente para CPU y GPU, de hecho la capa debería ser lo más fina posible. No es muy fácil de extender porque es bastante densa, pero lo puede hacer sin problema cualquier persona incluso siendo la primera vez. Muy recomendable.
