K5-PRO Viscous Thermal Paste for pad replacement (60g pack) vs Thermal Grizzly Putty Pro - 30g non-conductive thermal putty
Overall winner: Thermal Grizzly Putty Pro - 30g non-conductive thermal putty
Key Differences
Thermal Grizzly Putty Pro (A) is sold in a smaller 30g pack, has a higher user rating (4.60 from 316 reviews), and is explicitly non-conductive and aimed at replacing thermal pads. CS Labs K5-PRO (B) comes in a larger 60g pack, advertises higher thermal conductivity (5.3 W/m·K) and is positioned for VRM/VRAM pad replacement but has a lower rating (4.20 from 116 reviews) and mixed temperature-control feedback
