Thermal Grizzly TG Putty Basic 30G Thermal Interface Material

Thermal Grizzly - TG Putty (Basic)

TG Putty is a non-conductive electrical substitute for traditional thermal pads. This flexible and simple-to-apply gap filler is perfect for replacing GPU thermal pads because it evens out height variations. Usually, graphics cards come with a variety of thermal pad types that vary in thickness from the factory. When the cooler is replaced or converted to a GPU water cooler, different pads are needed.

TG Putty can be applied by hand (gloves are advised) or with the spatulas that are included. Broad application is possible with the spatula, and it can be manually formed into tiny pellets that are suited to the surface size (e.g., VRAM, SMD). TG Putty can fill height differences ranging from 0.2 to 3.0 mm.

TG Putty is available in three variants, primarily differing in their thermal conductivity:

TG Putty Basic: Medium thermal conductivity
TG Putty Advance: Good thermal conductivity
TG Putty Pro: Excellent thermal conductivity


Thermal Grizzly State:
For modifying a single, smaller graphics card without an active backplate (e.g., GeForce GTX 1060), approximately one 30-gram container of TG Putty is required. For larger graphics cards, such as a GeForce RTX 4090, one 30-gram container is generally sufficient for the memory (VRAM) and voltage regulators (VRM) on the front side. On the backside, there is often a uniform, larger gap between the PCB and the backplate on larger graphics cards. In this case, approximately two 30-gram containers are needed to completely fill this gap.

Notes:

TG Putty is not suitable for use on processors (IHS or Direct Die) or directly on the GPU die!

Before application, the target surface should be thoroughly cleaned and degreased, for example, using TG Cleaning Wipes or conventional isopropanol.

• Medium Thermal Conductivity: Offers adequate heat dissipation for entry-level applications.
• Flexible Gap Filling: Adapts to height differences from 0.2 mm to 3.0 mm.
• Electrically Non-Conductive: Safe to use on sensitive GPU components without risk of short circuits.
• Easy Application: Can be applied using included spatulas or by hand (gloves recommended).
• Replaces Multiple Thermal Pads: Eliminates the need for various thickness thermal pads on graphics cards.
• 30g Container: Sufficient quantity for most GPU applications.
• Cost-Effective: Most affordable option in the TG Putty range at $15.65 for 30g.
• Sticky Texture: Adheres well to surfaces but may be slightly harder to remove compared to higher tiers.
• Suitable for Moderate Cooling Needs: Ideal for systems with standard thermal requirements.
• Compatible with Various Components: Can be used on VRAM, VRM, and other GPU parts (excluding CPU and GPU dies).
