Just wanted to let everyone know, the new Duronaut thermal paste from Thermal Grizzly has a slight chemical smell to it. I just applied it after repasting my cpu heatsink. It smells like burning plastic and is enough to have the smell fill the room. Not sure if it will go away with time but that's just my initial impression.

Before anyone asks, yes it's authentic. I verified the code on their website.

I've tried a lot of pastes and none of them ever had a smell. https://imgur.com/a/LA99Vce

I should have just stuck with Arctic silver 5…

    Damn… AS5… that takes me back.

    Don’t use AS5, just use Kyronaut.

    No smell from mine that I’ve noticed and I’ve used it in two builds so far.
