Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Paste

[Cloudy]

I am currently using Arctic MX4 thermal paste for my CPU, and although it seems alright I want to get something even better. I had my eye on Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut although it is expensive in comparison to any other brands. The 11.1g tube goes for $44CA after tax, and Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut 3.9g goes for $22CA after tax. I understand you would mainly only use this for CPU that will be overclocked, but I wanted to hear other's opinion.

I did not apply my kryonaut wrong. I pulled off my cooler today and the paste was spread evenly accross my processor. Kryonaut is ♥♥♥♥.

Pretty sure is it one of the best non-liquidmetal thermal pastes you can get, its just expensive... But sure whatever you say man...

This.

I don't see the point. MX4 itself is pretty good already, going for Kryonaut might give you 1 degree improvement, hardly worth the price.
If you insist on trying better paste, and price is a concern. I suggest you try those industrial stuff, for example Shin-Etsu X-23-7783D/X-23-7921-5. These are pretty much the best paste for CPU out there and they are usually very cheap comparing to consumer brands.

MX4 is not for overclocking dude!

It's just as good as Kryonaut......
The difference in pastes doesn't even matter......it's a few c at most. More often than not, with good cooling, you'll run into the limits of the cooler, silicon lottery, or just plain 'wow this is high, I don't want to run it at that speed' before you hit the limits where paste choice between MX-4 and Kryonaut matters.

And, anyone serious about overclocking, to the point where it would matter, would use Kryonaut on LN2 (Because LM doesn't work well at sub zero temps.), or Delid (if possible) and use liquid metal, or even direct die with liquid metal, so the performance would be the best it could.

Do you use kryonaut or have tested kryonaut?

I've never used it, but I have used MX-4.

I've seen more than enough tests, and a quick google search will tell you the same.

Not enough!

MX 4 is really not as good for overclocking as the one we are speaking here. You do you. I have used both. Every test i have seen, the people dont even put them in the same category of pastes! Be aware.
Kryonaut on higher clock speeds performs much better than mx4. Thats final!

Could you provide proof to that statement?
Because every test I've seen ever (where they properly applied the paste), has shown Kryonaut being 1 degree or 2 better than MX-4.

Can you share all the videos you saw?
Proof of statement?! You just said kryonaut was "better by 1 or 2 degrees" Thats the proof right there.

On higher clocks kryonaut was better in my real world experience.
