great show down, the Kryonaut paste is the only 1 I use these days, especially on low airflow systems like office desktops or the mini itx cases. It costs a bit more but in my field piece of mind and customer satisfaction are much better than saving a buck or two. If you use air coolers this stuff will easily show you a major improvement.

Should use AIDA64 my man, can stress GPU and CPU at the same time. Also, you can change the fan curve which could easily take another 5-10 degrees off. And of you use an acrylic conformal coating or even nail polish on the SMDs or anything around the die, you don't have to worry about the liquid metal shorting anything out.

You should try phase-change material Honeywell PTM7950. It comes in as a sheet, lasts longer and performs works better than traditional pastes.

Thank you for the review but i still didnt get it. Are you using same laptop with the same configuration? How does the LM performing so far, any issues with the alloy? Are you using the Laptop with the LM intensely? The LM should also perform better in gpu stress test, to me it looks like the performance on the gpu is decreasing

[@TheStigma]

LIquid metal is reactive (and electrically conductive so you have to take some precautions). It's only a nono to use with aliuminium though. On copper it will cause significant discoloration but not actually decrease performance so it is considered "fine". Nickel plated copper is the absolute most ideal though as the reaction is very low, causing only mild discoloration that can even be buffed out with just a little scrubbing. I'd say the only real difference is a copper-based heatsink may need a reapplication at some point, maybe 1-2 years down the road since liquid metal permeates a little more and may become slightly more crusty over a long time, while on nickel plated copper it seems to be stable pretty much indefinitely. The GPU difference here seems to be an anomaly. Liquid metal should be performing above kryonaut and close to the same margins as on the CPU. This is likely just due to a less then perfect mount. Laptops have relatively low mounting pressure compared to most desktop coolers and liquid metal is thinner and more fluid so it is much more sensitive to a "less-than-perfect" mount. He probably could have fixed this with a reapplication and using slightly more plus clamping down a little tighter (if possible). It just might not be worth the effort considering the temps are still fine - so all it would really improve is the users OCD =P (and at most a few more Mhz boost clock if lucky).

One Question: Why does it always show 2.8Ghz as the frequency, when it is able to boost up to 3.8ghz? Did you disable TurboBoost? I have the same Laptop with Kryonaut and with 30% CPU und 30-40% GPU in Game it hits ~98C with -0.125 undervolting. With only CPU I get ~83C.

[@bradhaines3142]

@@batnasn it might not be you. just a lack of heat pipes. also check the clock speeds, lot of times you reduce the amount of throttling more than you drop temps for a laptop. i have an aero 15x, which also gets too hot. basically nothing thin handles the 8750H well. i replaced the paste with IC graphite and it made very little difference, but i travel for a living and IC graphite is a pad which gives me peace of mind over paste that could leak out the most effective thing i did to drop temps was drop the boost clock from 3.9 to 3.6, that on its own took 10c, .150mv undervolt took it down another 5 or so. also the lower boost helps it cool off faster

[@localopp5851]

batnasn you can also try undervolting the cpu because it probably has to much volts anyway. It should help with the temps and keep the same performance if not better.

[@EpicBunty]

@@batnasn ur using too much paste. Use a pea sized amount or for this laptop the size of a rice grain. Then evenly put the heatsink back on and install the screws lightly one by one they will be numbered dont tighten one screw then move to the next. Also make sure ur fans and fins are clean. Might have to open ur fans. Finally, undervolt. Undervolting just removes excess voltage going to cpu. After this u should be good. Spend some time to do a good job though. The paste has to be very little, the heatsink should be evenly applied and nice and tight

[@TheStigma]

I still don't understand why manufacturers use such crap thermal paste. It's not like performance paste is a significant cost. A dollar more when bought in bulk maybe, but surely that must be well worth it for shipping a product that runs faster (due to no throttling), more silent and quieter - because while thermal material might not be a marketable term those other ones definitely are exactly what customers care about. I do exactly the same as this. I re-paste every computer I buy essentially. Often even router equipment ect. Don't always replace pads as the benefit is a lot less for those though + they aren't as easily available often.

[@lewisanth4986]

The core was cooler but the gpu was hotter. Yup that's correct - I had the same thing happen to me too on an rog model What happens is since the cpu is able to dump more heat onto the cooler and thus maintain a cooler temp, the gpu core would have a slighter higher avg temp since its offloading heat into a cooler that is slightly warmer as a result... hope that makes sense

Well, I have had this model around 2 years, I have been struggling with high temps, for some time setting CPU offset -0,150mW helped and blowing off the dust out of the fans. Been having 85-90°C sometimes it's been throttling. I have opened laptop yesterday, it's been pretty easy, followed step by step, haven't even used kyronaut paste but some Evolveo which had 13,4W/mK conductivity. Cleaned everything carefully using the plastic tool which came with paste, used ear sticks with a little bit of isopropyl and cleaned everything up to be shiny as a brand-new. (Btw the old CPU/GPU paste was pretty dry and spread everywhere). So yea after finishing re-paste stuff I just took a toothbrush and cleaned the dust out of the fans since even tho you blow air into it it won't take out everything. And after finishing the whole process which took me like 30 minutes (And I have never done it with laptops). During playing instead of 80-90°C I had pretty safe 70-80°C without even fan running on high rpm with GPU CPU running constantly on 70-90%. So I really recommend this if you are struggling with high temps also setting CPU offset via. Throttle stop helps quite a lot.

How many "mm" does the thickness of the thermal pad have to be?

[@benjamin9120]

I think in this case he uses 0.5mm think pads, but I think any thickness from 0.5 - 3mm should be fine (maybe with a little difference).

[@EpicBunty]

@@benjamin9120 no, too thick or too thin can cause issues with heatsink making proper contact with the chips. If u dont know go for around 1-1.5mm to be safe

[@FriendlyPCGamers]

While repasting idk what happened, my laptop shut down 2 times randomly in few minutes of turning on. Also, gpu is not crossing 55watt instead of 105w it should, due to this, 100% gpu is being used at 30-40fps yeild. Idk where is the issue. I used thermal grizzy krayonaut.

[@EdgyEmoLoliconBoy]

I have a predator 15... I cant remove the heatsink because of the stripped screws.... Im screwed..

@Uranik Sadrijaj whatcha did bro i have the same issue on some other laptop :(

Should I play with fan max or auto?

[@admontblanc]

Question, I bought the same model about 1 year ago and forgot to do this, the laptop now shuts down, like power goes off even, randomly whenever I play a more resource intensive game, even though the laptop is able to run it smooth. I know this is happening because of overheating since this always happens whenever the temperature rises past a certain treshold for a certain amount of time, which in turn has led me to uninstall a lot of great games I bought due to the laptop suddenly not being able to run them anymore. So, would applying the proper thermal paste, help me, or have I somehow damaged the processor beyond repair?

[@suzi971]

As far as I know, the system automatically shuts down if you hit 100+, if you apply the thermal paste on both (CPU and GPU), clean up the dust inside (especially around the fans), undervolt using XTU. You shall be able to game again with way lower temps, which means not hitting 100C resulting into no system shut down. Give it a try bud, even if you fail due to damaged components, its just gonna cost u around 10 euros. No more (if you do it urself that is). Good luck and tell us how it went mate! Cheers

[@admontblanc]

@@suzi971 thanks a lot, I will have to learn how to undervolt the cpu but I will give this a try, I just can't promise to let you know how it went because it's hard to dig for old comment on youtube.

Do I need an antistatic wrist band?

[@SerjStar]

so is ti better or worse than the liquid metal

[@justingasparino9204]

I'm really confused I repasted the laptop with the same paste and now while it doesn't thermal throttle, it gets to a higher temper and then holds a higher temp at idle. Like after a game it used to ramp down pretty fast to 40 degrees or so now it holds 60-50 while he fans stay on. Idk how that makes sense. I also held lower 70s during the cpu z test with 4000rpms

[@cliqueimarketing]

It happens auto calibrarion can discover it can go higher volts safely..

[@SaadGolandaz]

I have the Helios 300 i5 7th gen, the one with 1050ti. My lappy temps go upto 90 degrees often. Are there any other substitutes for kryonaut? Also my laptop suddenly power offs irrespective on what power it is running on. I mean it power offs when i lift the laptop or even if someone moves or touches the lid. It happens mos of the time recently. Pls help

[@petert7432]

Kingpin thermal paste provides great results and has got good reputation. Prolimatech pk3 is good also but it is a different type of paste and known to be thicker and more difficult to apply. However it would last a long time / you wouldn't need to reapply it in a long long time, it would not dry and it would keep great viscosity and maintain good bonding between your cpu and heat sink. Hope that helps

[@GoatZilla]

How do you know the correct thickness of thermal pads to use?

[@CoMmAnDeRYT]

0.5 are Used

[@EpicBunty]

@@CoMmAnDeRYT no thats too think

[@CoMmAnDeRYT]

@@EpicBunty That was 1 year ago tho

[@iordanchis2437]

I was hoping to see how u applied the LM 😔.

[@krimsondeagle4463]

Imma try this on my acer nitro 5 2018 since it was the same chassis and same design
