Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut Pro Thermal Paste - 2g

Hydronaut Pro is a silicone-free thermal paste with an optimized composition, suitable for use in both industrial systems and high-performance PC systems. Thanks to its superior thermal conductivity, it is particularly ideal for applications with large-surface-area heat sinks, such as gaming PCs with custom water cooling. Hydronaut Pro combines high performance with an attractive price-performance ratio and is also designed for overclocking applications.

The Hydronaut Pro thermal paste has a silicone-free carrier structure. Many thermal pastes use silicone-based oils (e.g., siloxanes) as carrier fluids or as part of the matrix. Under thermal stress, especially with temperature fluctuations, changes in the paste can occur, such as bleeding and displacement of the paste from the contact zone. Repeated temperature changes and micro-movements between the CPU IHS and the cooler base can exacerbate this effect. The mechanical displacement of the paste from the contact surface is known as the pump-out effect.

In normal PC use, this is generally not critical. However, in industrial applications, leaking silicone-based oil can be undesirable, particularly if adjacent materials or sealing materials (e.g., certain EPDM or NBR seals) are incompatible with silicone oils. This can lead to swelling or changes in material properties. The product is RoHS-compliant and designed as an easy-to-apply thermal medium for demanding users.
