Aeronaut thermal grease

The right choice depends on the thermal performance you want and the type of workload. This selection includes options ranging from 1 g to 30 g, as well as high-performance versions like Kryonaut and Kryonaut Extreme. For example, Kryonaut Thermal Paste 1 g is designed for demanding applications such as overclocking, while Kryonaut Extreme TG-KE-002-R targets maximum performance and improved stability.

Kryonaut pastes offer high thermal conductivity and durability suited for varying loads. Kryonaut Extreme is an even more high-performance version, intended for pushing scenarios and sustained high loads. Compared with other options like EL-TERND or Exon X1097, Kryonaut options generally provide more performance-oriented profiles for more demanding use cases.

Multi-packs are perfect for a home workshop or a small lab where multiple components need thermal paste. They help you keep enough stock for repeated builds or replacements without frequent restocking. These formats are also useful for school or professional projects that require larger quantities.

Clean the surface thoroughly with a non-abrasive cloth and make sure it’s dry. Apply a small amount directly to the center of the chip, then install the heatsink and spread it slightly if needed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For example, some bundle instructions recommend a centered application for even coverage.

For heavy loads and intense overclocking, the Kryonaut and Kryonaut Extreme lines offer the best performance and durability under stress. These versions are designed to maintain lower temperatures and high stability during long high-load periods. Other pastes, such as EL-TERND or Exon, can be suitable for more standard use and tighter budgets.

The amount depends on how many chips you’re working with and the size of the heatsink. 1 g packets are typically enough for one or two LEDs/chips, while 30 g containers work for multiple builds or repeated installations. Choose based on your workload and the number of thermal parts you plan to maintain over the long term.
