This test here show the opposite:

The Gelid GC-Extreme is not as good as Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut also listed by this test here:
http://overclocking.guide/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Tim_test_update1.png

and also some other tests i had read.

I dont know where you got this test you paste the results. I have never seen a test result where the GC-extreme was better then the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut before.

5,55gramm of the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut cost about 15€. I dont think that you should go there for the best price. You apply it once and 5,55g is really much for a normal user. You would probably have enough for years.

> Actually there is an even better non-conductive thermal paste (not liquid metal) than "Grizzly" --- it is called " Gelid GC-Extreme ". Here is a comparison from one review website that I screenshotted - > https://s4.postimg.org/qvp326pjx/Thermal_Grease.png>   . The difference between them is not big, but I think in your case every degree counts. Also, there is a packaging of Gelid GC-Extreme that is 10g - > http://gelidsolutions.com/thermal-solutions/thermal-compound-gc-extreme-10g/>  , this larger packaging gives a very affordable price per 1g and will last for a long time ;)

>>           >> Could you try out "Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut" or even liquid metal based products and report about the temperatures? It would be great if you could try out first the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and later then for example the Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut and report here.
