Hi all

I am going to get a 3900x and using a bequiet dark pro 4 Heatsink and would like to know what is a good paste.

I did some reading and it seems to between the Noctua NT-H1 or MX-4 but wanted the best temps i can get.

I have read that there is now a HT-H2 paste but not to sure on this one

would be great if you could let me know what your thoughts on this

thanks
 
HI, thanks for getting back to me i forgot to tell you what i am going to use, I am going for a 3900x with a bequiet dark rock pro 4

The NT-H1 suffers from pump-out effect, whats your take on this. Do the other pastes suffer from this or do i not have to worrie about this.

what it seems to boil down to in reviews is best from top to bottom

1. Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut this is not conductive is it ? how long does it last. ?
2. Gelid Solutions GC Extreme this is not conductive is it, never herd of this paste before.
3. NT-H1 or H2
4. MX-4

But it seems from top to bottom there is 2-3 degrees difference which is not a lot of difference. Are they all the same for applying to the CPU as it seems spreading the whole Cpu before putting on the Heatrsink is best bet. still not to sure about Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut as i have herd different things like its easy to put on and otheres have said its to thick and hard to appliy and others like the link i gave you said there was a bad batch and damages the CPU and heatsink finish.

this link which has the problems are the (Distributor) and if they have problems thats not good, has this been fixed by now are all the bad batch gone as it seems in 2019 they still have problems ?

thanks

been reading so many up and downs with Kryonaut and seems to be just to risky for me and i might just give it a miss. I am now leaning towards a pack of noctua NT-H2 as it seems a littile better than MX-4 and a littile worse than Kryonaut.

Been reading many forums and many results and if you dont go Kryonaut the top three pastes seems to be NT-H2, MX4 & GC Extreme and i am going to try Nt-H2 first and see how i get on then MX-4 if thats no good as these two rate there usage, NT-H2 5 years and MX-4 8 Years as they all work within 3C from each other.

did not like the sounds of this to whihc was posted on another site

"In sum on the Kryonaut, it's stable up to 80C, then it breaks down. Ryzen shuts down at 95C. On air cooling, I could see 80C+ being relatively commonplace if you work your CPU enough to warrant having it. TG Kryonaut is intended to use between an IHS and a liquid cooling AIO or custom loop, hence the low 80C breakdown temp."
