Was looking at buying some thermal grizzly conductonaut on amazon today and after I had it in the cart they had this listed as something that other people buying that had bought conductonaut -  http://a.co/6BirlAW <-- Amazon share link
 
Here is the link to the manufacturers page - https://www.mgchemicals.com/products/conformal-coatings/silicone-conformal-coating-422b
 
Has anyone seen this stuff before and is it recommend to use in place of the clear fingernail polish that everyone uses on the delided CPUs?

    Here is a link to more info on it - look at the stats on page 2. I am thinking perhaps the 4223F would be a better product to use as protection against liquid metal?

    Not sold on it - a quote from one of the reviewers - "Only a few degrees off the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut application I had on an i7-8700 non-K"
     
    Well, here is how the specs stack up:
    T.G. Kryonaut - 12.5 W/mk
    IC Graphite - 35 W/mk as per the amazon link above
    T.G Conductonaut - 73 W/mk
     
    Now who knows what the guys setup was that I quoted above.......
     
    Steve at Gamers Nexus had mentioned in one of his Q&A videos that he would be looking at the stuff some point soon as per a question someone had posted asking him about it

    Never heard of it myself.

    Looks like it.

    Why do you think better based on stats?
     
    IC Graphite is electrically conductive, so see no advantages over Conductonaut based on claimed heat conductance per area.  In my 7980XE/Dark thread, Kryonaut between heat sink and cooler did not improve temps over stock paste with EVGA CLC 280, but Conductonaut significantly did.

    The 4223F lists as having a higher chemical resistance then the 422B.
    Can Conductonaut be considered under a chemical component?

    Ask Thermal Grizzly and MG Chemicals?

    Fault in application instead of product?  Points on why not nail polish or tape since proven to work?
