Question about Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut

You can easily equip 10 CPUs with it... Take a look at the following video, you can see how much heat paste is needed. Kind regards

What strange answers I read here ^^^

So: I ordered a tube for my Threadripper for the first time. 1 gr. tube is already very scarce in terms of content. With the spatula supplied, you can just about cover the surface with a thin layer. After that, the tube is empty.

For 10 CPU ? (WTF ?) You can forget about it ^^

Depends on what size you mean! I took the small 1gr tube, which is good enough for 3-4 CPUs.

No, thermal paste does not have an "insulating" effect until the heat sink is mounted correctly. The mounting pressure is not supported by strong backplates for nothing, which pushes any excess cooling paste out of the gap. So you only have the disadvantage of a completely smeared motherboard. It should be noted that the excess may drip down onto the GPU after a while, but this is less essential.

I agree with the video from the first answer, 10 CPUs might be a bit exaggerated, but a whole tube even for Threadripper is definitely WRONG. Sorry guys, you're welcome to do it this way, but I want a clean motherboard :)

You can hardly go wrong fortunately, thermal paste doesn't conduct electricity as long as it's not metallic. It only fills the few air holes between the CPU and the cooler.

For normal CPUs, please don't spread the paste with a spatula, that's really not necessary and only wastes the paste anyway.

One tube was enough for me, but I only have a small laptop cpu.

In my case, the tube was also only enough for exactly 1 CPU. Thank God I didn't need more ;)

One tube wasn't enough for the Threadripper. I needed 1.5, so I had some left...

If you put too much paste on it, it is no longer conductive but insulating and the CPU gets warmer or even overheated. Just put a dab in the middle of the CPU and apply it evenly, the paste will spread evenly.
