Thermal Grizzly TG Putty Basic 100 g thermal paste

Electrically non-conductive gap filler

Thermal Grizzly TG Putty Basic is a 100 gram thermal compound designed to replace traditional thermal pads during GPU modifications. Its electrically non-conductive formula prevents short circuits while filling uneven gaps between components and coolers. The putty consistency allows manual shaping or spatula application for precise coverage across varied surface heights. It suits builders converting air-cooled cards to water blocks or refreshing aged factory pads.

Height-range limits of 0.2 to 3.0 mm

The material compensates for component-to-cooler gaps ranging from 0.2 mm to 3.0 mm, covering most memory and voltage-regulator stacks on modern graphics cards. Gaps thinner than 0.2 mm may not retain enough putty for stable contact, while gaps exceeding 3.0 mm fall outside the tested compression range. The included spatulas help spread an even layer across large areas, but the putty cannot bridge missing standoffs or damaged mounting hardware. Users must verify actual stack heights before application.

100 gram capacity covers large cards

One 100 gram container provides enough material for multiple GPU projects or a single large card such as an RTX 4090 front and back side. A smaller card like a GTX 1060 typically needs only about 30 grams for a full repad. The Basic variant offers medium thermal conductivity, so it handles typical VRAM and VRM loads but may saturate under extreme overclocking heat. Builders seeking lower junction temperatures on high-power designs should consider the higher-conductivity Advance or Pro variants instead.
