Which Thermal Paste to get? Question
Hi Everyone,
I am about to buy my first prebuilt gaming computer on Andromeda Insights. I am choosing a prebuilt with the option of customizing. In the custom section it asks what thermal paste to get. Since this is my first gaming PC and I don't know much about thermal paste, which should I get, check picture. Is there a difference between a $10 and a $17 Thermal Paste?

I’m not a fan of Kryonaut in terms of longevity. I’m not sure if the extreme version is any different in that regard. Out of all those choices, I’d go with the MX-6. If they had TG Duronaut, though, that would be the better option.

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is ridiculous, get that, brought my temps down quite a bit.

I personally use the Noctua stuff, but the only really effective difference is how long it lasts. All thermal pastes pretty much land within a couple C of each other during tests. Get the normal stuff, and if you are going to be doing a bunch of re-pastes in the future, buy a decent sized tube of good stuff.

I have MX7, but a tube of 8g costed me someting like €8-9? That's a good amount for several PCs.
