(thermal paste recommendations and boosts welcome!!)

aaaaaa why the fuck is arctic mx-6 so thick

i was rlly happy with mx-5, but it got discontinued, so i assumed mx-6 will be just as good

and, maybe it is, but i can’t apply it without spreading too much of it
i tried doing the X (my default technique), five dots (most successful here), three lines, a spatula and a credit card spread and all of them suck in one way or another here

considering switching to noctua nt-h1. any other suggestions?

at the beginning i thought it’s maybe a counterfeit arctic paste, but the authenticity scratchcard validated properly

i even bought another one at the official store and it’s the exact same shit

whyy

@xyla yeah I bought it recently to try it out and it was so annoying. It's hard to spread it evenly and it just sticks to the spatula. From what I remember thermal grizzly kryonaut wasn't as thick and worked well but it is also significantly more expensive

@kirale also kryonaut lasts like a year before degrading sadly
