The thinner it is, the better it will work. Just make sure the entire surface is covered. A good rule of thumb is to apply some bowling ball-sized paste.
By covering your fingertip with a small plastic bag, you can use your finger to apply the paste without leaving any oils on your skin. This also gives you more control than trying to do this with a stick. Before opening the console, disconnect it from its power source. Keep all liquids out of the work area and never work on a carpet. Carpets can cause static electricity that will damage motherboard components.

We all know applying the paste for the first time is much harder for newbies, and mostly they say much paste, which spreads all over the processor. But this one comes with a credit card like a spreader and a template which allows the better application of this paste without messing up things.
The tests of this paste are not much good like other competitors but still for the price they are offering much, and this paste manages to handle the 9th generation processors at 65C at high loads, which is undoubtedly surprising. The performance of this thermal compound for Consoles like PlayStation 3 and others is also excellent.
When it comes to applying the thermal compound several times or needing it in much quantity, there comes the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, which comes in a 1g tube. Like all the other thermal paste syringes, this one also has a long needle-like top, which helps to spray the paste in a better way. The application of this thermal paste is about eight times, and you can fully apply the paste. Yes, we all know that using the thermal paste with a syringe is much more comfortable, but you may need help from some other plastic stick to spread it.
Along with the excellent performance, the other thing that makes it appealing for users is its price as the 1g syringe is not going to cost you more than 10 dollars. The tests of this thermal paste are going to impress you a lot because with any 9th generation processor you are not going to see more than 60C on high loads with this thermal paste in computers. While with consoles like PlayStation 3, it works even better and offers excellent performance as well.
Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is the premium thermal solution for hefty chips in either compact or full-sized airy machines. Its conductivity increases as the temperature passes above 60 degrees. AMD Ryzen 5 is the hottest known processor of and By hottest it means real hot to handle with a stock cooler because the temperature suspends around 80 degrees in stock usage mode.
Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut has the tendency to harness the mean temperature readings and jam it back to 65 degrees with an X AIO water cooling solution. Thermaltake is also another great choice of thermal paste for PS3. The company got an excellent reputation in the past and is known for making computer cases, power supplies , and some cooling compounds.
The good thing with the TG series is they are available in three different models, and you can get the best one according to your budget and availability in your region. But their performance is not much different, and they are much identical to each other. The company claims that thermal paste from this series has a longer lifespan than the standard silicone thermal paste.
The company claims that this thermal paste is made up of diamond powered compound, which is non-conductive and offers much more performance than other materials. When running on full loads, the temperature of the processor sometimes reaches 70C, which is not good but we need it for a console where we are not going to see such high temps. I was looking for a specific answer than how long this thermal paste works, and we apply when but unfortunately, I got no specific answer to this.
But with the TG 6, you will find it hard to apply as that one comes in packets, and you have to take care of the amount of paste you were applying.
When it comes to the cooling of a gaming rig or console, the first brand that happened in our mind is Noctua because of its wide range of CPU coolers and thermal compounds. I got some other options too for this list but thought that how can I skip Noctua from the list of best thermal paste for PS3?
This thermal paste contains a mixture of some particles that are unique to this company and also a signature of Noctua. The price of this thermal paste is slightly higher than other competitors but not that much and still affordable and offers excellent performance in liquid metal pastes. The good thing is this metal paste is not electrically conductive, which you know is a plus point of every thermal paste in the market.
The one tube of NT-H1 contains almost 1. Non-techies found it challenging to apply the thermal paste for the first time, but the NT-H1 is very easy to apply. You might already know about the pea method, which can be used with this paste as it easily spreads over the surface of the processor. This thermal paste is not hard or roughly like some other competitors, which allows us to spread it all over the CPU surface.
But there is an unfortunate side of soft and highly spreadable thermal pastes as those folks who are inexperienced and spray a lot of paste might find it hard to remove or clean. When it comes to price to performance and ease while applying the thermal paste, the best option I would recommend you to get is the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.
There are some other options like Arctic Silver 5 AS But with proper knowledge, you can easily use them without any problem. Disconnect the SATA data connector from its socket on the optical drive by pulling it straight away.
Insert the flat end of a spudger into the small rectangular opening on the top of the cooling fan duct. Carefully release the fan duct retaining clip and remove the fan duct from the Xbox. The clip can alternatively be released using the metal finger of an Xbox opening tool. While lifting the metal chassis strip above the dual fans, pull the fans toward the center of the motherboard. Do not completely remove the dual fan assembly yet.
Its cable is still attached to the motherboard. Some fan connectors have a locking tab. If yours has a locking tab, be sure to depress it while disconnecting the fan from the motherboard. Use the flat end of a spudger to release the clips securing the RF module shield along the top and the left edge of the RF module.
Grasp the RF module and lift it straight up to disconnect it from its socket on the motherboard. Turn the Xbox over, being careful not to let the motherboard fall out of the chassis. Be careful not to damage the sockets as you rotate the motherboard away from the metal casing. Insert the tip of a small flathead screwdriver between the X clamp and its retaining post on the heat sink.
Pry the X clamp away from its retaining post until it is lifted above the small groove cut into the retaining post.
Insert your screwdriver parallel to the motherboard between the X clamp and its retaining post. When removing the last corner of the X clamp and holding the motherboard upside down, be sure to catch the GPU heat sink to avoid damage from it falling. To reinstall the X clamp, first start by attaching two corners to the posts on the heat sink. While holding the third arm of the X clamp down against the post attached to the heat sink, use a small flathead screwdriver to pry the X clamp away from the heat sink post.
As you pry, press down on the arm of the X clamp until you "walk" it down into the retaining groove cut into the post attached to the heat sink. Before reinstalling the GPU heat sink, be sure to apply a new layer of thermal paste. If you need to mount the heat sink back onto the motherboard, we have a thermal paste guide that makes replacing the thermal compound easy.
Cancel: I did not complete this guide. Badges: I work with many different types of mobile electronics. The tools required section is great. The walkthrough claims to visit their site for upto date info. For a free guide this exceeded my expectations for certain. They could use a little section tab to see videos as that helps the diy ppl learn by examples. Fix Your Stuff Community Store. Difficulty Difficult. Steps Time Required 1 - 3 hours. Sections Flags 0.
