Want to replace my ps4 thermal paste but I see a lot of different brands on shopee and lazada. Anyone here can give me recommendations? Also do I need to buy anything else besides the thermal paste?

Just get a thermal grizzly kryonaut paste. It's slightly expensive compared to other brands, but still affordable around rm20-30.

Aside from the paste do I need anything else? Some people I need to clean the cpu with something first

You need 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the existing thermal paste before applying a new 1, you can get it from any pharmacy. I strongly suggest not to use grizzly kryonaut, that thing is liquid metal, if you are inexperience in applying thermal paste, the chances of short-circuiting the board is very high, In the future if you are looking to clean your PS4 again it's going to be a big hassle not to mention the advantage it offer is not that significant. Strongly recommend to use Arctic MX-4 thermal paste. Excellent conductivity and easy the apply.

Someone else recommended Arctic MX-4 to me also. I guess I'll go with that. Thks

Kryonaut is non conductive paste. Conductonaut is liquid metal.

Check your facts next time.


MX-4 is ok, but Kryonaut is still better. MX-4 also dries up quicker than Kryonaut.

Also, you may want to get some thermal pads to replace the ones for the RAM and VRM.

my bad, then perhaps TS can go for kryonaut too, just stay away from liquid metal

+1 on the Kyronaut

I've changed mine few years back, my pro now sounds more like an EV engine compared to a jet engine last time

also Zippo lighter fluid is easier to find compared to the 99% Isopropyl Alcohol, can use that to clean up the TIM

Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut is a good one! You wanna get some thermal pads too with 1mm in thickness. GELID GP-EXTREME or Thermal Grizzly minus 8 are some you can take into consideration.
