K5-PRO Viscous Thermal Paste for Thermal pad 20g Compatible with iPhone, Apple iMac, Sony PS4 & PS3, Xbox, Acer Aspire etc

Used to replace the factory thermal compound on my VRMS in my 2022 Asus Zephyrus G14. I highly recommend you do the same. My computer was shutting down due to hotspot temperatures on the GPU running simple games like Liar's Bar. After opening the vapor chamber all the liquid metal on the chip had been displaced and there were burn marks. Atrocious. Replaced with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. Computer now runs fine and 25-30 C cooler across the board, all for a cheap fix. Only gripe was that it was a little hard to spread, but other customers seem to have a less viscous batch. Well worth the money.

PC specs: CPU-Ryzen 5 3600 at stock speeds GPU-MSI Evoke OC RX 5700XT Stuffed into an itty-bitty Sliger Cerberus mATX case In an effort to quiet the fans on my GPU, I decided to replace the under-sized and poorly placed thermal pads on the VRMs and memory modules. I watched the Linus Tech Tips video for the K-5 and it seemed like a simple fix for cheap. And since the K-5 thermal compound is not electrically conductive, there wasn't much that could go wrong. I did some benchmark testing before and after removing the existing thermal pads and applying the K-5. See pictures. To maximize heat output, I ran Furmark on the GPU and prime95 on the CPU for 10 minutes and logged temps and GPU clocks to check for equal performance. As you can see, the numbers speak for themselves. Clocks appeared to be unaffected and the thermals definitely improved. That being said, this GPU is still hot as hell, and under actual gameplay loads (and depending on the game) the GPU hotspot temp (aka edge or junction temp) can still hit 100 C. This is better than the 109 C I saw before the K-5. I imagine that the K-5 being applied helps improve overall cooler performance, and thus allows the cooler to remove more heat form the GPU die itself. My next move will be to try a better thermal paste for the die, as the old tube of arctic silver I've been using for 10 years may not work as well as it used to. I forgot to take pictures of the K-5 after I applied it, but it is messy. Be sure to wear gloves and avoid getting it on anything other than the GPU. I didn't try to clean it up, but I imagine it would imagine it is not easy to get out of clothes. Overall this stuff works. If you are comfortable with taking apart a GPU (and it isn't that hard, just be sure to use the correctly sized screw driver) then this is an easy way to squeeze some better performance out of hardware if you aren't satisfied with it and can't really do anything about it now (I would think of getting a new GPU but I ain't feeding the scalpers).

Great thermal paste for repasting your computer components. Easy to use and good consistency for application. Keeps temperatures lower as it creates a nice bridge between the components.

I bought this as a curiosity, having recently purchased 20m/kw thermal pads to replace the stock pads on the VRAM and voltage controller on my AsRock6700XT Phantom D Gaming gpu; which did ok but there were multiple thicknesses used throughout the construction and I just couldn't get all the contact points well enough to do the job I was hoping for, which matters because its the card I use in conjunction with a 5950x that I air-cool with a Noctua NH-U12A. The AsRock GPU is rated to operate as high as 110 degrees, but I don't like it exceeding 90 under load given its proximity to a high-heat CPU. So I buy this stuff. It not only works better than the pads (I had to buy a 2nd 20g jar for use between the backplate and card which is about 2.8mm difference) but it also made me remember way back to the early days of home PCs. Before custom builds, before internet shopping, before you could reasonably FIND a spare component or upgrade without having to contact the retailer or PC manufacturer. THIS WAS THE KIND OF GOOP THEY USED IN PCs, PEOPLE! Slathered unceremoniously between various components and their related heatsinks, messy goo was your reward for removing a warranty sticker to take something apart. You've heard the saying "the easiest solution is usually the correct one," right? Well, PC builders had it right all along decades ago, this company simply refined it to a higher grade to handle todays thermal demands. But due to companies thinking consumers wanted a "cleaner, simpler, more upgrade friendly" solution, thermal pads get invented and force us into thinking we have to make a sacrifice in performance in favor of convenience or less mess. Screw that. I never asked for anything to be smaller, more lightweight, less hassle, yada yada. I asked for stuff to perform well, and k5 Pro really does! In a world of electronic everything, every household with an overheating anything has a use for this stuff, and it boggles the mind how the Greek economy could be struggling the way it is when they have such a cash-cow export! Computer-Systems, raise the price by a dollar, make a TV or internet commercial to expand sales and go bail out your government. They need it.

Desde que cambié todo lo mismo parches térmicos de otra marca para procesador y gráficos y tambien pasta k5pro para otros componentes. Tiene mejores temperaturas mi lapto gaming con 5 a 6 horas de juego seguidas , y tiene la misma temperatura que una pc de escritorio gaming con las mismas temperaturas, 😱 Puffff Te explota cabeza de solo verlo. Siempre y cuando la PC de escritorio no tenga refrigeración Liquida. La diferencia con la refrigeracionnliquida son 15 a 20c menos.
