Does the 1g tube not come with an applicator? Because mine didn't.

1g tube does not come with the applicator. Only the 3.5g and the 10g come with applicator. Thanks.

How would this compare to thermal grizzly kryonaut? Im not sure which to repaste my laptop with.

This is basic ceramic compound. It's safe to use on a delidded CPU or a laptop. It's not conductive and it won't destroy aluminum. In roundup test on the net it's maybe a degree behind Kryonaut but it's near the top of the list. Kryonaut beats every other Ceramic based compound. GC-Extreme is low viscosity so it spreads very easy and it's hard to mess up the application. Kryonaut is less forgiving when it comes to applying it, which give GC-E an advantage in that area. The metal compounds by Cool Laboratory, Conductonaut, and Phoyba contain gallium which interacts with aluminum and makes it brittle. These are also conductive and the Gallium will melt at 86f so you have to apply the right amount. If you want to use this stuff then great, but watch several videos to see how it's done. Personally when I use this stuff, I use Scotch tape on everything which creates a barrier. On a CPU you can use Liquid Electrical tape on the contacts and this will make the application safe if you use the right amount. The metal compounds will only shave off a couple degrees between the IHS and heatsink base on a desktop CPU so it's not even worth using. It's only worthwhile for delidding and on a laptop.

Would one tube of this stuff be enough to apply to both a laptop CPU and GPU or should I buy a tube for each component?

Yes, I used it 4 times (3 times on the same laptop, and then 1 time on another laptop) , and i haven't reached the half yet.One tube should be enough to do the CPU and GPU multiple times. (like in case you put it wrongly and need to retry)Laptop CPU and GPU die are usually small, and do not require that much anyway, on the other hand, desktop CPUs require more amount for each time, so can not comment on that.

Any long time experience on a CPU?

I have had Gelid GC-Extreme on my cpu for over a year and have had no problems with cooling degradation whats so ever.

Great paste, super cooling performance

Easy enough to apply/spread and great performance from this paste.

Highest rated thermal paste of it's type - applicator helps a little. The size of the pot means if you are only a home user like me who only requires TIM every 18 months or so, it'll last a lifetime. (Although it's also good for replacing the TIM paste on your GPU's too).

Absolutely brilliant paste nice temps in idle and underload

Second time i have ordered now. Absolutely brilliant paste nice temps in idle and underload.I would not personally recommend spreading it with the spreader i find the usual pea/grain of rice blobs worked just fine however you are free to do as you please.

Thermal transfer from cpu to heatsink is perfect.

Used it for two HP servers, each with four CPU. So, 10g = 8 CPU. Thermal transfer from cpu to heatsink is perfect.

Excellent paste.

I really believe this is helping me with my Temps on my CPU and GPU, as i read a recent review which puts this TIM at no 1, mine are 23c CPU and 24c GPU Ambient is 20c!

High performance thermal paste

Using the GC-3 I found it above average and in my view one of the better offerings out there.I used to be a die hard Artic Silver 5 fan, which is a good paste but showing it's age a bit v more modern offerings.Testing it v AS 5 I found the Gelid was a few degrees cooler in both idle and burn (between 2-3 degrees) that's pretty strong performance wise. And there is no burn in time to worry aboutTip: I don't use the spreader to cover the entire die area and prefer the "dot" or "multi dot" method this ensures no air bubbles can get trapped in the thermal paste. Simply place a small dot in centre of the CPU (size wise smaller than a pea) and apply the heatsink, this spreads out the paste over the die/cover nicely. Some users prefer to put a mid size central dot in the middle and a few smaller ones around don't put the paste too near the edges if you use this method, whilst you can't really go wrong with the dot application method (it squeezes out any surplus paste around the sides) it will make a bit of a mess, less is more with thermal paste. This is quite a large quantity of paste compared to the smaller tubes and suitable for those who frequently do system repairs or building. If you just do occasional work on computers go for the Gelid tube which still has quite a lot of paste for the priceGood quality, works well and a very fair price gets a thumbs up from me
