Tried a new thermal paste on a PS5 job versus the old stuff I had

The new paste dropped temps by 12 degrees Celsius under load, which is huge for those finicky APUs. What's your go-to paste for consoles now?

Twelve degrees is a crazy good result, you basically turned that PS5 into a mini fridge. I'm still using my old tube of Noctua paste for everything out of habit. It works fine, but maybe I should stop being so cheap and try something new.

Is that really worth the effort, kim.zara?

Arctic MX-6 gave me results like that too.

That's a massive drop, nice work. Used some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut on a friend's Series X last month and saw a solid 8-degree improvement under a stress test. Stuff spreads so thin and even, makes the job less stressful. What brand of paste did you end up using for that result?
