Thermal Grizzly Putty Basic Thermal Paste - 100g

Thermal Grizzly introduces Thermal Putties, a new product line specifically developed for upgrading graphics cards and replacing thermal pads between PCBs and heatsinks. However, these thermal putties can also be used by hobbyists and experienced DIY enthusiasts on a wide variety of devices, such as notebooks, handhelds, and game consoles.

– Flexible replacement for thermal pads with a wide range of applications
– Particularly suitable for heatsinks with varying distances from critical components
– Basic version with medium thermal conductivity for efficient components
– Safe application thanks to electrically insulating properties

The flexible alternative to thermal pads: Thermal Grizzly Putty Basic
Thermal Grizzly Putty is an electrically non-conductive alternative to conventional thermal pads. As an easy-to-apply and flexible gap filler, it compensates for height differences, making it ideal as a replacement for thermal pads on graphics cards and other devices.

In these cases, several types of thermal pads of varying heights are usually installed at the factory, meaning that several different pads are required when replacing the pads or converting the cooler to a GPU water cooler. This problem is solved by the flexible application of Thermal Grizzly Putty.

How much Thermal Grizzly Putty do I need?
To convert a single, smaller graphics card without a backplate (e.g., GeForce GTX 1060), approximately one 30-gram can of Thermal Grizzly Putty is required. For a larger graphics card, such as a GeForce RTX 4090, a 30-gram can is usually sufficient for the memory (VRAM) and the voltage regulators (VRM) on the front.

On the back of larger graphics cards, there is often a uniform, larger gap between the two surfaces, between the PCB and the backplate. Approximately two 30-gram cans or one of the 100-gram cans are required to completely fill this gap.

Three variants for different applications
With three different variants, the manufacturer offers the right product for every performance class. The Basic variant is suitable for efficient components that generate little heat. The Advanced variant, with its higher thermal conductivity, is aimed at the mid-range segment with more powerful components. For the high-end segment, Thermal Grizzly offers Putty Pro, which ensures optimal cooling of your high-end components thanks to its particularly good thermal conductivity.

Flexible and safe application
Before application, the target surface should be thoroughly cleaned and degreased, for example with Thermal Grizzly cleaning wipes or commercially available isopropanol. Thanks to its electrically insulating properties, it can be applied over large areas using the included spatula. Alternatively, the thermal putty can be formed into small balls by hand, the size of which can be adjusted to the area to be applied (e.g., VRAM, SMD).
