I use noctua NT-H2 for longevity and price and kryonaut when I really need to optimize each 0.1c
So if I had an intel 13700 I’d use Kryo (I don’t I have ryzen)

otherwise I found the NT-H2 to be quite durable and satisfying performance wise, and the price is awesome

It would be nice to see some reviews of this, since it is pretty cheap compared to the PK-3 and I need to buy a new tube since I already used my NH-T2 so I was looking for a new one

I find NT-H2 to be bad on GPUs, after 6 months the pumpout effect is real aleady.

Interesting, may I know what kind of paste do you use then for GPU to avoid the pumpout?

I've been saying it all the time. NT-H2 is a disaster.

MX-2 for anything industrial and laptops with bare dies. Basically, you put it on and leave it be for at least a decade. The price/performance you gain with newer MX's is withing margin of error in long(!) term usage. It has proven itself to be trusted for decade, I am not into mood testing those for clients if they go bad after a year, also the area they improve is actually more easy application, a thing I don't care for. Just warm up the syringe and apply.

Cryonaut is OK, but overrated for the price, hydronaut is enough actually. But more and more bare dies are using LM as norm... because they are venturing into stupid hot territory beyond all reason for a mobile product, but I have no power to influence it, I have to accept it as a daily occurrence in my job.

Agreed, MX2 gets better over a few months and then just nicely stalls. Right now im doing MX4 and im not too convinced.

GPU pumpout will make or break paste these days.
For longer lifespan in higher temperatures a PCM(phase change material) thermal paste is your friend.
PCM is a polymer that melts at +-+ 45ºC and do some "magic", also requires good enough pressure.
It melts, but because it has a long molecular chains it is very resistant to pumpout.
