Which should you buy, Akasa AK-450 Silver Compound 450 or Halnziye HY-810?
Buy the Akasa AK-450 Silver Compound 450 for mainstream CPU repastes under air or AIO coolers and Akasa AK-455 owners wanting a higher-rated Akasa compound, though it is the wrong buy for sub-zero or chiller cooling, since Akasa rates it from 0C and buyers who need published electrical safety data. The Halnziye HY-810 is the one to take for budget gaming builds and shops doing volume repastes, though it is not built for overclocking and delidded/direct-die use. Our rating of the Akasa AK-450 Silver Compound 450 (6/10): A silver-based compound with a solid published conductivity figure and a bundled spreader, reasonable for the price. Our rating of the Halnziye HY-810 (5.6/10): A mid-tier budget grease from Halnziye, reasonable value for casual builds.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Applicator included and paste segment read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
