New Thermal Grizzly Duronaut looks pretty impressive in this review.

I watch CyberCPU Tech on youtube and seen he tested the new Thermal Grizzly Duronaut and it look pretty impressive by the drop in temps he got with it.

He said the Hydronaut gave him temps of 72 to 74C and the Duronaut was 65 to 68.4C

If you ask me that a pretty nice jump,I have always used Noctua's thermal paste because it doesn't up and is always right at the top of good thermals and others paste's beating it by 1 degree at the most,I'm going to get ome of this Duronaut and try it on my AMD 9900X that I use a Noctua NH-15D G2 Air Cooler and see if I get better thermal's,I already get really good thermal's but why not lower temp's if possible.

Here's the Igor's Lab review. They tested it against a bunch of pastes that I never heard of (I don't OC at all so I stick with MX4). Compare to the Kryonaut and Kryonaut Extreme, it perform a lot better. Lower thermal resistance and higher thermal conductivity.

Igor say's in his review that DOWSIL TC-5888 is in a league of it's own it's to bad that if it gives the best thermals out of any paste it isn't easier to get.

Der8auer recently released a video that discusses thermal paste performance in general, how you can get better temps when designing it, and it mentions Igor's video a few times.

I can't link it right now from work, but please give it a watch. My take was that from a theoretical point of view, paste thickness and thermal conductivity can equally affect actual thermal performance (so doubling thickness while doubling thermal conductivity would give no change in temps). Basically he says Igor's testing is all completely valid, BUT it does not look at the output of all the individual factors when combined in very thin scenarios (sounded like Duronaut is designed to compress to very thin tolerances). The combination of all the factors is what gives you the temperature in the end, and not any one of the measured pieces in isolation

EDIT: I think this was it

 
I'm gonna bet that the Duronaut tim is also a sonofabich to apply too? or is using one of those lip frame thingies to catch any spillage really the beesknees?
I don't recall which link mentioned it but it is easier to apply if warmed up a bit, suggests it is a bit on the viscous side when cool.

If you watch the video I linked he didn't like how it applied but I didn't think it was that bad,he just used a line of the stuff all the way across the IHS then spread it with an included spreader,he said when you try to touch up one bare spot it creates another or something like that,I didn't see him trying to put a small amount on the bare spot and spread it out which is what I would have tried.
 
Looks like it's got potential, don't really care about spreading difficulty. Was using some GELID stuff for years that had to spread with a little plastic applicator thing. Dense as heck, but worked well and didn't overflow from being too liquid-y.
