It can be used with MSI RGB. However, the view is obstructed by my CPU's heatsink.
No, this item does not conduct electricity.
Although this is a late response, it is still relevant. I'd say there are at least ten proper applications. If you don't give a damn, you'll get a 5. I was able to repast my old Desktop's GTX 660ti, as well as do my laptop's CPU and GPU twice because I wanted to see how much Kryonaut worked best; I still have enough to do all three again, but my first application on the CPU and GPU was the larger amount some people use for other pastes, but this paste heats up and doesn't work with too much. I've found that adding very little at a time and spreading until a paper thin layer is on the surface of whatever you're pasting works best. Don't worry if your layer isn't even or perfect; the Heatsink will take care of that.

People should be aware that this thermal grizzly Kryonaut could be a fake or a bad batch. br>br>I ran a perfect application and was getting higher temperatures on both the cpu and the GPU than in the past. br>br>I figured that a few heat cycles might help it set, so I did that over the course of three days, doing multiple cycles. br>br>Temps were still unacceptably high. br>br>The bad news is that when I disassembled it, I discovered pitting on both the CPU and GPU, as well as grit in the cooler. Is this sand? Diamonds? Whatever it is, it has permanently scarred my system. br>br>I Googled my problem and discovered that others have experienced the same thing.
I was given a phony. In comparison to how thick and viscous kryonaut is supposed to be, it's spread very thin. Until I noticed the tell-tale signs, the packaging appeared to be genuine. the facts of the story Instead of a three-page foldout manual, the manual is one page long. Frosted- a clear spatula for spreading, a tube with bright red lettering, and an orange-colored orange-colored orange-colored orange-colored orange-colored orange-colored orange-colored red text. The final straw was the extremely poor temperature results after applying the new paste; I noticed a 2-degree increase. On my Lenovo Y50, I tested 3c vs. old stock paste. I'm an IT pro with experience applying thermal paste to various computer components. When buying kryonaut, be cautious. This stuff appears to have a lot of fakes. These days, it's difficult to tell who is selling genuine merchandise.
This review was not paid for, and I have no ties to any Amazon sellers. This was paid for out of my own pocket. After reading some of the reviews here and previously purchasing a counterfeit Thermal Grizzly product, I'm happy to report that I did receive an authentic tube of Kryonaut. Please check the package for authentication and verify the code on the Thermal Grizzly website. br>br>Attached is an image of what I received in the package; I have blocked out the serial number/code but confirmed it was authentic. Please double-check that you received an authentication card and double-check again.

(If my memory serves me correctly, it was somewhere between 70 and 80 degrees. ) Considering it was filthy, full of dust bunnies, and the factory thermal compound was toast, I was not expecting the results to be this positive. br>br>The only slight negative I could possibly say about this stuff is that it's slightly harder to work with. br>br> In comparison to Artic Silver or IC Diamond, it's a little thicker and more difficult to spread. Even so, it only took a minute or two for me to put it into practice. br>br>Overall, I couldn't be more pleased!
: edit: br>As others have pointed out in the comments, a lot of my temperature drops were most likely due to the cleaning, which is understandable. Regrettably, I did not conduct a controlled experiment using only cleaning supplies to determine this. But I will say that the stock thermal paste on this thing was cracker dry and toast, and I'm not sure how much of either had an impact on the end result.
br>br>I re-iterate that I re-iterate that I re-iterate that I Before the re-installation, I pasted my Overpowered 15 laptop, as you can see in the pictures. I got around 80-90 percent of the time. Temperatures as high as 83°C are expected. While, following the re-evaluation, I received a score of 85. Temperatures peaking at 87 degrees Fahrenheit. I've tried applying the paste again and again with the same results. br>br>I also tested this paste on my desktop (no screenshots) with a delidded 8700k and a H115i extreme, and the results were as follows: Arctic Silver 5 (br>br>Arctic Silver 5 (br>Arctic Silver 5 (br>Arctic Silver 5 (br 64- Maximum temperature of 65°br>Kryonaut: 66- 67° max. br>br>The fact that I used this paste on both my laptop and desktop, and that I reapplied it multiple times, leads me to believe that I am using it correctly (since AS5 consistently performs better). Instead, the Kryonaut I received was a fake or from a bad batch.
