 What's up internet? Thermal Greed Seed Cryo Note is usually considered to be one of the best thermal pastes on the market. Pero mahal siya. Bakit mahal? Ito nabili ko, around $140 pesos. Ito rin, around $140 pesos. But if you go on Lazada to the official Philippine distributor, birebenta niya yung Cryo Note for around $387 pesos. But there are some stores, some stores with weird names that come from China that sell it at around half that price. Siguro Peke, baka nga? Pero baka naman original kasi may volume discount sa China or even if it's fake, gana baka layo yung performance niya dun sa Ulrig? We bought a total of eight Cryo Notes from different stores, two from reputable stores, and six from not-so-reputable stores. And we tested all of them to see kumih Ulrig ba talaga na mura na Cryo Note? There is a clear but surprising winner which we'll get to by the end of the video.

And ngayon, ganun pa rin ako pero activated na yung windows ko. Kaya ako naghanap ka ng legit, mura, at original software. We contacted Thermal Grizzly and asked them if there was any way to determine if the product we bought was genuine. Pero wala silang reply, so I guess we're on our own. Now, some of the fake Thermal Grizzlies are immediately apparent. Either the packaging only superficially looks like the original one, the size, the layout, some combination of that is usually off. One thing that stuck out right away, the UPC code on the original Thermal Grizzly is different from the UPC code of the ones we got from China. So I thought that would be a clear sign already of which ones were fake. But after doing some research, the UPC code on the Chinese Thermal Grizzlies is actually the official UPC code for this particular product. So medyo nagtataka ako, bakit yung original na nakuha natin from the Philippine distributor has a different UPC code. So we tested all of the Thermal Grizzlies with a Ryzen 7 5800X with a single fan, Deepcool AK620, in a Cougar dual face case set to mesh mode. And of course, the torture software used was Cinebench. After running that for 30 minutes, we recorded the highest temperature reached. Long story short, palpakt yung nga Chinese Thermal Pastes. The cheaper Thermal Pastes were consistently the worst performers. The 141 peso paste from Genie Dragon hit a whopping 84 degrees. We got the same result from the paste from Ziabay which was also around 141 pesos and the temperature was also around 84 degrees. The 160 peso paste from Wobe and Laos Hiko Juzod scored 83.4 degrees and 84.1 degrees respectively. We go up to the 200 pesos and up price point and the thermal paste from FFFFJ scored a surprisingly good 80.4 degrees. The more expensive paste at 280 pesos from Electronic Big Sales Store scored a decent 80.80 degrees. So past the 200 peso mark, we are seeing a big improvement. Finally, the original cryo note from the authorized Philippine distributor cost a whopping 387 pesos but it was also the coolest by far at 79.1 degrees. Iba talaga kung rig. But if you've been counting, you notice we've only mentioned 7 thermal pastes and at the start, we said that we would test 8. The eighth we bought from Amazon. It was from a reputable store so we assume this is also original cryo note. We wanted to see if the original cryo note from the states would be better, equal, or less in terms of performance than the original one bought from the Philippine distributor. Kawa talaga tayo mga entusias dito because yes, there was a difference. Kahit yung thermal paste na dapat orig naman pareho Mas baganda pa rin yung galing sa states. We ran three tests each on the two original cryo notes and the Philippine thermal paste got 80.6, 80.8, and 80.1 degrees. However, the one from Amazon consistently beat it. And then the same results, 78.3 degrees in the second test and finally 78.5 in its last test. All three results from the Amazon thermal grisly colder than the thermal grisly from the Philippine distributor. The Amazon paste even had better temperatures compared to the lowest temperature we recorded with the Philippine paste when we were running it against the Chinese pastes. The final twist to this though is that you'll remember we used the exact same test setup last month when putting new Noctua thermal paste and really old, eight-year-old Noctua thermal paste head-to-head. So since it's the same test platform, we're confident to include and compare those results as well. So between fake cryo note, original cryo note from the Philippines and from the states versus new NTH1 Noctua bought here, which one had the coolest temperature and perhaps it's no surprise it is Noctua. It had a max temp reached of only 77.9 degrees colder even than the Amazon bought cryo note. It's a small difference, less than a degree, but if you're looking for the best performing paste and you're choosing between the cryo note and the Noctua NTH1, our not goes to, not surprisingly because Noctua is known for their quality, the Noctua NTH1.
