I just want to know which out of the three has the best performance, and easiest to clean if dried. I will put this under the IHS as the TIM.

Liquid Ultra is much better than its predecessor, liquid pro. Spreads easier and is less prone to clumping. Otherwise, the 2 pastes are so similar that it'll depend on who you ask, some swear by Grizzly, some by Cool laboratory.

Okay, thanks, I'm going to go with Liquid Ultra, and do you know how you remove liquid metal if it is dried?

Grizzly has 73 W/mk , and Liquid Ultra has 38.4 W/mk, what does that mean?

You can use Isopropyl Alcohol 95% to remove old TIM.
W/mK means Watts per meter Kelvin and represents the thermal conductivity of the paste. The higher the better.
I use AS5 or MX4 for best results and spreadability. AS5 is 8.9 W/mK and MX4 is 8.7 and considered excellent thermal conductive paste.
Grizzly is good but thicker and harder to spread.

So that means Grizzly has better performance? You can use Isopropyl Alcohol to remove Liquid Metal?

Thermal Grizzly KRYONAUT is 12.5 W/mK and considered the best but is more expensive and meant for high end Overclockers. I use Isopropyl alcohol (not the rubbing alcohol type. low % means oil added), to remove old paste with no probs at all.

I meant Grizzly Liquid Metal (Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut)

I've not tried Conductonaut liquid as opposed to KRYONAUT normal however, there would be only maybe a couple of degrees C in it for Overclocking. If your only doing a normal OC and not extreme then AS5 or MX4 is plenty good enough.
Remember it's only to fill the tiniest of voids and the application and spread is also important. TOO much and you can have issues and air pockets which will affect the conductivity.

I've not used it as AS5 and MX4 is all I use.

Would be interested in your delid result using liquid metal (before and after). Keep us posted.

I decided to give Grizzly a try on my laptop. Since, have noticed it takes much longer for the fans to kick in while gaming. Also noticed the system stays about 15 - 20% cooler then the arctic silver ms-4 I was using before. I am not overclocking, just looking to extend the life of the system.
