Overheating miner? 🔥 This 17W/m·K thermal grease saves the day.

I don't talk about it a lot, but I am a long time #overclocker (started in 1994) and computer builder. Just a hobby, not competitive. Just, very long time.
The hobby is not dead, at all. But it is radically changed by the #oligarchs trying to get compute behind a paywall as Moore's Law grinds down. (That is "#datacenter" and "#AI" to most of you.)
Here is what you need to know: #truenas, #xigmanas, #openwrt, #pfsense, #openmediavault, switches, routers, and parallelism. And #thermalpaste.

Thermally conductive grease 8W/mk
Thermal grease gradually dries out and becomes ineffective as ASIC miners work over time and at high temperatures, leading to hashrate drops. That's why mining farm operators need to regularly inspect and replace the thermal grease on chip surfaces to ensure optimal cooling performance and mining efficiency.

And the last one....
Thermal Grizzly Duronaut, one of the newer ones on the block.
I didn't actually get an application picture for this nor a spread picture as I've left this one in for now.
Pretty average with a Cinebench of 8063, but at the coolest of 80 Degrees. Prime 95 also peaked at 88 Degrees the lowest of the lot.
And a decent 3D Mark of 17,074 with an avg of 52 Degrees.
Second from last is Coolermaster Cyrofuze, I only got this as it was included with my new CPU Cooler (the Coolermaster Hyper 612 Apex which is what I've used for all of these tests).
Surprisingly slightly worse for a more premium brand, 7480 in Cinebench but staying at 82 Degrees. Max temp in P95 of 98 Degrees and a mediocre 16,597 in 3D Mark.
Not bad, but it's not hard to get that tad better.
And the next contender, MX-6! Not sure why I skipped 5 when ordering in the past but here we are.
Once again as is becoming the trend, pretty on par results.
Cinebench at 8084 with a max temp of 84, Prime 95 down to 92 with a peak of 213 and 3D Mark at 17,064.
Fraction worse in one test than MX4, better in the others.
No real difference.
Time for the most known, Arctic MX.
Beginning with MX-4, very easy to apply and spread.
On par Cinebench Score of 8085 (becoming a trend) with a max temp of 82 Degrees. Prime 95 was decent with a peak of 94 Degrees again with 214W and an improved 3D Mark of 17,031.
As is starting to become the theme, outside of the cheapest the brands are all pretty much within margin of error so far.
