Applied it in my 10th gen i3 processor, it is slightly overkill for the purpose, was able to apply on processor, and a small heat sink on a nearby chipset. Was enough for the purpose After its depleted, remove the pushing plunger(pump) and there will be little bit of paste on it if you need more.
After cleaning with isopropyl alcohol & it’s application, the temps are below 55° no matter what I do, temps won’t go up, fan won’t increase it’s RPM because processor does not get hot. Tho my rig is not capable to test it’s performance this is the best one you can get for normal (movies, MS office, browsing, social networking,) usage.
If your usage is hardcore gaming, video editing, video reencoding, compression and other intensive CPU usage then I’d recommend kryonaut extreme.
If you can afford, and are capable(do intensive research before purchase) then I’d recommend their liquid metal thermal product is the best product, but it’s risky & can fry up your processor or MoBo if you don’t apply conformal coating(do proper research before buying)

So I had purchased Grizzly for my 3 year old Alienware 17 R4. After a lot of read thru and experiences (definately not enough) I decided to go for this instead of the Artic MX 2019.
As this was the first time taking my expensive laptop apart, I was naturally very tense, due to which mistakes were made as follows :
1. I applied too much paste on CPU. GPU was a bit more but OK. 2. Didn’t pay close attention to the thermal pad replacement. (I thought if it works don’t fix it) 3. Didn’t do a good job in eyeballing the thermal pad contacts. (After final tightening some pads were not making contact with the chokes). 4. Didn’t follow the number order when screwing the heat sink/fans back.
As can be seen for from the tests there is not a big drop in temps as “I was expecting”. Unfortunately I did not take a pre application tests to compare, but from what I remember with the same tests conducted under similar conditions earlier, the CPU and GPU temps were in their mid to high 80s. So keeping that as a rough ref. 2 cores are giving 10 drop but 2 cores are almost the same (I learn this problem is specific to this laptop later), the GPU has a 10-15 deg drop which is really great. So did the paste work? yes it did but I was expecting the CPU temps especially to stay below 80 DEG mark 🤷.
With the 30% left over paste I decided to give another try with my wife’s Acer Aspire 13″ R3 laptop (used only 10% of the 30% paste this time). This laptop does not have any fan or vents, there is just a metal plate or heat spreader that dissapates the heat to the chassie. My wife used to complain that the laptop underside gets very hot after an hour of use. The temps used to hover 60-70 deg. This time I guess I did it right, applied the correct amount of paste, placed ADWITs thermal pads where necessary, checked that all was good before the final placement. The results are great here, as can be seen the temps are almost the same in both tests, but if u see closely before Grizzly after 30 mins of test due to the excess heat generation the laptop is limiting the cpu freq to 880 mhz and average multiplier for 30 mins is *11. After Grizzly results show after 45 mins of test the average multiplier is *22 at the same temps, clearly indicating good heat dissapation. Moreover now thar laptop does not heat up at all on the lap. After 2 hrs the temps hover high 40s to low 50s, and most importantly wife is happy…. hehe
So the paste is Great, BUT does only 40% of the job, rest 60% depends on the applicator’s competency 😎.
All the best guys and hope this helped….

Temperature drop at highest performance- 10C(from 96C to 86C) Temperature drop with undervolt and low performance settings- almost touching 30C(96 to 68) Checked for longer time periods using bench mark tests(10 min). Great product. Used on acer predator. Excellant item intant result
I was having trouble with my 5 Years old laptop. CPU & GPU temperature was rising to 80 – 85 C within a few min and with hardly any load, and while gaming 100 C in just a few min. Fan running at 100 % Also was of no help. Thermal throttling, FPS Drop, Inconsistent performance, etc. was very common.
I decided to replace the thermal paste, as Heatsink and Fan were already cleaned and the thermal paste was replaced a couple of years back.
Now the big task was to decide on the Thermal Paste. Arctic Silver MX4, Deep Cool Z3, Cooler Master Master Gel PRO, and Deep Cool G15 were a few products as an option along with Grizzly Kryonaut. Quantity was only 1 Gm. all other pastes were available at least 1.5 Gm or more. Due to the low quantity, the effective price was very high. Few even mentioned that it’s very little and insufficient for the job. I was sure that thermal paste is required just to fill the surface gap and just a thin layer. Hence decided to take a chance and ordered Grizzly Kryonaut.
Product delivered very next day. First I wanted to make sure it was a genuine product, hence straightaway headed to the manufacturer’s website and verified the code. Bingo! It’s verified as a genuine product.
Now the actual task of applying the fresh paste. Removed the Heatsink, surprisingly the old paste was not dry, it was very much greasy, So I was not expecting a huge difference with the new fresh paste. Carefully removed all the old paste from the CPU, GPU & Heatsink. and applied just enough on the CPU & GPU (just to form a thin layer) Installed the heating. I will use the remaining paste on Mac. I am sure the 1 Gm quantity is more than enough at least for two laptops.
Now the results. Before replacing the thermal paste I had run a Cinebench test so I ran the Cinebench test after replacing the thermal paste. Below are the results.
Test Before After Multi-Core Points 3238 4014 Single-Core Points 838 864 M P Ratio 3.87x 4.75x Max Temperature 78 C 58 C (After running a few games for a couple of hrs.)
With the old paste and fan running at 100% Hardware Info was showing CPU Temp 100 C with just 5-10 min of gaming and there was Core Thermal Throttling.
With Grizzly Paste Maximum temperature is never over 80 C even after a couple of hours of gameplay and the Fan running at normal speed. And of course No Thermal Throttling.
The results are unbelievable. I wouldn’t have trusted this if I had not done it myself.
Application is also very important. So apply just enough not too much or not too less, it should be just enough.
Go for it! Highly recommended.
