Top thermal paste offers the best heat dissipation and reliability for your system.
Hello, thanks for reaching out. I understand you're looking for advice on the best thermal paste for your HP ProBook 640 G1. Since it's an older model with an i7 processor, you might want to consider high-quality options that are compatible with its age and performance needs. Let me know if you'd like more specific recommendations! Best of luck with the upgrade.
We need a decent thermal paste. The top choice I've used is "Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut" (premium price). Other solid picks are "Arctic MX4" (budget-friendly), "Noctua NT-H1" or "NT-H2" (balanced option). In reality, the gap between the best and worst paste is about 5°C. The key factor is choosing a non-conductive one.
I found a few MX4 models, but nothing really stands out as superior. Also, when I mentioned 'basically nothing,' liquid metal seems to perform better, though it’s conductive—making it risky and probably not worth the trouble.
Both confirmed, I'll attempt to secure an Arctic MX4. Best wishes, Paddy UK
Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is frequently regarded as the top choice. However, the gap between the highest and lowest quality pastes remains just a few degrees.
I favor Thermalright TFX, marginally superior to Kryonaut Extreme in theory. Likely it doesn’t create a noticeable impact. TF8 performed slightly better than the initial Kryonaut version.
I paid roughly twenty-seven dollars for mine, thinking it was in Canada. I'm still undecided. Should I choose a 12g TF8 cartridge or a 6.2g TFX one for the same cost? Around forty beaver bucks. Likely I'll pick the TFX—it should keep me going another couple years if I switch coolers regularly.
