Curious as I haven't looked into thermal pastes for a while. Is Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut still the the go? It is expensive though I usually pay ~$10 for a 1g tube.
Arctic Silver 5 or MX-4 are the standard go-to for over a decade.
Noctua if you wanted something more premium for overclocking/higher temps. Reality is minute difference, maybe 1 degree.

Yes, Kryonaut tops the charts.
Arctic Silver 5 or MX-4 are the standard go-to for over a decade.
No they aren't.

If there's a standard it's Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.
@Diji1: Thanks for posting the same chart I did. Arctic are definitely the standard go-to pastes. This is also evidenced by sheer number of reviews vs other products. That doesn't mean other products aren't better.
@Diji1: False, the kryonaut is not viable long term and are definitely not for laptops, they break down at temperatures over 80c.

Benchmarks are usually from freshly applied paste so it has no time to reach a stage where the performance deteriorates.
I'm not sure the kryonaut has even been out for a decade but I may be wrong on that.
@Diji1: @Diji1, the differences between most pastes on that chat are absolutely miniscule - a difference of 3c is nothing you'll ever notice.
Arctic Silver works just fine.
They are way too expensive when you compare to what's out there imo. I'd rather stick to this noctua or mx-4.
I sometimes take my GPU out to re-paste or clean it, plus the ryzen processors require more paste than the intel processor.
All of that adds up to a lot of paste being used
Yeah, the smaller one will suit most. I rebuild PCs every now and again, or reseat coolers. I was looking at the thermal paste from a value point of view, if you don't mind stocking up.
Next option is Ebay @ $25.90 delivered - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Noctua-NT-H1-10g-Thermal-Compoun…
The best is Conductonaut followed by Kryonaut
This is as good as arctic MX-4 which is pretty cheap too.
Probably one of the best thermal pastes out there
Close.

Lols, I just bought one before posting up. Sorry guys.
roman/derbaur is making a new paste, should be on the market soon i think its kryo v2?
$25 for 10g when I can get 30g of GD 900 (check it out) for about $8 ??
I have done tests with both and the Noctua edges it out by a degree or 2… YMMV
A 3g tube is also included in all their cpu coolers as wll
I kept a tube of NT-H1 and Arctic Silver 5 for 9 years. I had rebuilt my PC a few times but these two tubes were more than enough. I also redid the thermal paste on my PS3 and PS4. At the end of 9 years, the NT-H1 had dried out in the tube. The Arctic Silver 5 was still a paste and flowed out of the small syringe easily. So I bought a new larger tube of thermal paste and picked Arctic Silver 5 of course.
Came with my noctua coolers…probably 8 years ago, pull out use it last month and still fresh! lol (probably I should get a new one, oh well)
unless your spending upwards of 3.5k on a rig this is a waste for the gain in temp.
GD900 is the best. Best value for money. Best performance. Easy to apply what ever your chosen method is.
Good thermal paste
Probably one of the best thermal pastes out there.
It's sold out for delivery though.
Note you don't need a 10g tube if you're just building one PC (only ever add a pea-size amount onto CPU). There's a 3.5g variant for ~$15 available.
