Thermal Solutions for Repair Centres and System Builders

A practical guide for professional workshop environments — covering product selection, volume use, safe handling, and trade supply from YourTechDirect.

Which Products Should Repair Centres Stock?

RECOMMENDED: DAILY USE

Duronaut Thermal Paste

The ideal workshop compound. High performance, electrically non-conductive, and long-lasting. Safe for all CPU and GPU applications. No risk of damage on contact with circuitry.

Best for: general repastes, CPU upgrades, laptop servicing

SPECIALIST USE

Kryonaut Thermal Paste

Premium compound for high-performance or high-TDP applications. Suitable when the customer wants best available results and is not overclocking.

Best for: gaming PCs, workstations, premium repaste jobs

HIGH-PERFORMANCE

Conductonaut Liquid Metal

For delidded CPUs and direct-die laptop applications. Maximum thermal performance. Requires trained application — not suitable for general workshop use without experience.

Best for: delidding services, extreme thermal work

QUICK TURNAROUND

KryoSheet / PhaseSheet

Solid thermal pads and phase-change sheets. No spreading, no mess, reusable. Ideal for fast turnaround jobs or situations where paste application isn't practical.

Best for: quick repastes, batch processing, non-critical applications

Workshop Best Practices

  • Always clean surfaces before applying — even a quick clean with IPA improves results significantly
  • Use the right amount — more is not better. A consistent pea-sized application is correct for standard CPUs
  • Document product used — record which compound you applied for warranty and callback purposes
  • Store paste correctly — keep sealed and at room temperature. Do not expose to extreme heat or cold
  • Do not mix compounds — always clean fully before switching products
