Interesting, I had heard somewhat of a different take from Der8auer (who is associated with Thermal Grizzly). In [2] he explains that Kryonaut is a fairly wet thermal compound and that it does indeed suffer from the pump-out effect, and that in direct die applications like GPUs they recommend replacing it once per year.

- DiabloD3 6y agoYeah, I watch his stuff already. He specifically mentions because GPUs are large hot dies. I'd never use Kryonaut on a GPU (I've had very good luck with MX4 on GPUs Ive had to repaste or replace stock coolers on). Bare die CPUs (laptops, delidded CPUs, etc) don't seem to be big enough to cause issues. I imagine, if I have to repaste the laptop, if it even lives that long (it is from 2012 as it is), it's going to be another 4 years down the road.
- cameronperot 6y agoGood to know. If the PK-3 ever fails me I'll give the Kryonaut a shot.
