Thermal GrizzlyCarbonaut (25x25x0,2mm) - for RTX 2080 Ti - Carbon Thermal Pad for Maximum Thermal Conductivity - Reusable and Adaptable Surface CPU/GPU/PS4/PS5/Xbox

Watercooled Ryzen 5 5600X OC'd to 4.7Ghz and an RTX 3070ti w/ EKWB Waterblock. Custom single loop, single 360mm radiator (Pump -> RTX -> Radiator -> Reservoir).With this pad, at 73° ambient temp, CPU maintained 30-31°C at idle. With Kryonaut Thermal Paste, at idle, it maintained 28-29°C.With Carbonaut, after 2hrs of 80% load (140w average), it averaged 62°C. Compared to an average of 66°C using Kryonaut Thermal paste.Overall average Temps under load dropped by 4°C. Very pleased, especially since it has a 3/5☆ rating for watercooling compared to a 5/5☆ for air cooled - from the manufacturer!It shines at higher temps.Just buy it.

Saves having to guess how much grease to put or spreading it, just have to set it on the chip and put on the cooler. Now I'm not saying the grease application was a complex process, I just didn't like having to deal with cleaning and reinstalling if ever I had to remove and reinstall the cooler or chip. Especially during those magical moments when the paste had been on so long that the cooler is bonded to the chip and you have to use extensive force to get it off to which I ripped the chip straight from the slot once doing that.

Great for gaming laptops suffering from pump out. Tired of repasting and spending money on any of the major brands but don't want to or cannot try liquid metal? this is still conductive but is very easy to cut to exact shape needed for the die.Regular paste seems to conduct heat slightly better under the same load with the same fan settings but this essentially lasts forever.This was enough to cover an i9-11900h die and a rtx 3080 mobile with almost no left over. Note that it does rip relatively easily if care is not taken while cutting or folding it.

The TG Carbonaut utilizes nano-tube carbon filament fibers (as a thermal paste alternative) between the CPU and the CPU cooling system of the computer. I used the Carbonaut in conjunction with a Ryzen 9 7900 processor and a Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 Chromax air cooling fan. As the 9 7900 has a base clock speed of 3.7GHz the Noctua site indicated that this CPU was suitable for the NH-L9a-AM5; the thermal transfer of the Carbonaut is very similar to high grade thermal paste. As I have no plans to overclock the CPU, using Carbonaut was a very viable option for my new system. Preliminary testing validates my selection of this product.

This product is more so meant for any cpus or gpus that are jot going to be running full tilt or anything above 80percent usage. I can see it being very useful for a server application or anything like that but I tried it in my ol laptop with an i5-9300h and just a 1650 it wasssss not that good at all even with fans turned on to max, thermal transfer is meh even after verifyinI seated it properly and cut it to be a little larger than the cpu and gpu die temps across the cores were honestly really even just really hot. Had some mx4 thermal paste with temps at 60-70c at full tilt and thought okay even if it was under 90c im happy but it wasnt. Rather stick to thermal paste which is even cheaper and more effective but different uae case so usage will vary.Now normal case usage not really gaming not pushing the cpu to the limit or the gpu it does work very well temps stay under 70c for the most part, 4k video playback, chrome usage and some programs in the backround its manageable so it is very good in that aspect. Any tdp under 30watts this will work very well in my view.

I absolutely love this product, for one very simple reason: it takes 90% of the headache out of cooling a laptop. I have no idea how this functions on a desktop computer, but every time I've used it on an overheating laptop I've seen dramatic improvements.Why is that? What makes this better than liquid metal, or IC Diamond, or any other TIM? It's thermally conductive, sure, but properly applied liquid metal is better.The answer is simple: these are miles and miles easier to properly apply on laptops. Something I struggled with for years on my old Razer Blade was having decent cooling on most cores, but one or two that were several degrees hotter, tripping the throttling even if most of the chip was fine.This happens because, unlike desktop coolers, laptop heatsinks are almost universally less precisely constructed. Contact surfaces that would make the cheapest chinese knockoff desktop cooler scoff are the norm on laptops.My $1600 Razer Blade from 2017, for instance, contacted the GPU with two, completely bare heatpipes, fresh out of the mold, with a 2mm gap between them and not even 100% coverage across the surface of the die. It was a nightmare.I tried shims, I tried modifying the heatsink height, I carefully sanded the heatpipe so it would actually be flat, I all but broke out a level to make sure the thing was flush, but I simply could not eliminate the inconsistent cooling. That is, until I bought this TIM.A quick trace and the barely careful application of a razor blade later, and it was fixed. It was a eureka moment that I'm still giddy about. So, when it came time to upgrade my computer, one of the first things I did was buy a couple boxes of Carbonaut.If you're after the lowest possible temperatures, look elsewhere. However, if you're struggling to apply TIM in a consistent way due to terrible heatsink design, give it a shot. It worked miracles for me.Just make sure the heatsink is making some kind of contact. It's easiest to apply a paste, then remove the heatsink again to look at the spread pattern.

BE CAREFUL! these are so flimsy they are easy to tear!

- If you're using it because you're testing a bunch of different CPUs and you don't want to deal with cleaning paste every time (which is my use case), it's way too fragile. Even if you're super careful while installing it (which you HAVE to be), it will simply start tearing itself apart after a few installations, and you might even end up with a little piece of an electrically conductive material on your board... and you definitely don't want that.- If you're buying it as a single-use long term solution, then I guess that's a better way to use it... however, for the price, I'd much rather just use a little dab of a high quality thermal paste, and it will most likely last for as long as you need it to last.

I used this as a replacement for the thoroughly dried out thermal paste on my Xbox One X, and it’s worked fantastically. The air coming out of the back is now noticeably hotter, and the fans on my console have not once ramped up to the point of being audible like they did before during heavier games like RDR2. I did need to cut this down to size a little bit, and if you’re going to use this on a One X you’ll need to cover the exposed transistors beside the APU die with some silicone conformal coating (not clear nail polish) to make sure it doesn’t cause any shorts - but knowing that I will now NEVER need to replace the thermal compound again is really nice, and the thermal performance is excellent to boot.

I like the product, I used it for my laptop's GPU, and I'm happy with results as when I applied my V1 cooler master thermal paste I had 85 degrees and when I added this thermal pad it worked way better as I had temperature between 79 and 80 which meant I had more room for performance and temperatures were not limiting me. It was hard to cut but I used paper to cut it precisely and I'm happy with the product just amazing.I also used graphite cooling pads for cooling and using both Grizzlys and graphite I will conduct one fact,if your cooling solution for CPU or GPU is holding via 4 screws so has an rectangle pressure instead of using 3 for CPU/GPU then I would recommend Grizzlys pads as they are more effective than graphite.(I hope I explained that well)

Fantastic product. I've marked it 5 out of 5 for adhesion, although it does not adhere at all. As long as you mount it with the heat sink horizontal, there is no problem. If you wanted to do it outside in a breeze or in front of a fan, you may have more problems. Two convenient sizes, one (smaller) Intel core size and the other (larger) AMD size.Ultimately temps may not be quite as good as the very best thermal paste, but it's a lot less messy and is re-usable. I've used both in SFF PCs - one an Alienware X51 R3 with liquid cooling with core I7-6700K, and one in a Silverstone RVZ03 case with AMD Ryzen 7-3700x and Noctua NH65 cooler. I haven't tried any overclocking, but the temps are as good as I have ever achieved with paste. The AMD does reach around 80C in stress testing, but that is because of the way the Ryzen heat is concentrated and the way it handles it's TDP. Noting to worry about.

My PS4 Pro CUH-7116’s cooling fan used to be as loud as jet engine….. I took it apart and cleaned the heat sink which was covered with multiple layers of dust. It helped a lot, but when playing graphically demanding games such as God of War, Days Gone or Horizon Zero Dawn, the fan still used to be noticeably loud…After replacing thermal compound with Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut the fan is never to be heard again…. I’ve been playing Cyberpunk 2077 and The Last of Us 2 on the highest specs for hours and I never even heard the cooling fan once….. 11 out of 10 Performance…!!!Please note that the pad has to be cut to correct size before installation also make sure that it doesn’t relocate when putting back the motherboard as this might damage your system beyond repair…..
