Hi,
What cooler you have no system spec's
No idea of the paste thermal grizzly.... is terribly overpriced
Noctua NT-H1 is all good price and performance within 1c of over rated and overpriced thermal grizzly products.

Didn't know that system specs are important
I have silentiumpc grandis 3 (Pactum pt 2 was it the box)
5900x in msi tomahawk
I saw tests and it seems that pt2 is 1-2 degrees worse but maybe grizzly has better longevity or is safer for CPU surface ?

Most people are against Grizzly. Too thick and hard to work with.
Imho, correct application > better paste.

Kryonaut is formulated for subzero use and is made for that.
Unless you plan on doing some subzero stuff you don't need it. Noctua NT-H1 or MX4 is more than good enough for any desktop use, lasts just as long or even longer plus it's cheaper too. They also spread easily vs Kryonaut so get some of either one and you'll be fine.

Hi,
Yep against silly pricing and scratching surfaces is a real possibility lol

I personally think this is fact, not opinion. Way more important than the specific TIM (thermal interface material) used is just using TIM and applying it properly. Proper application means to thoroughly clean the mating surfaces before application, then applying as thin a layer as possible while still achieving complete coverage. The most efficient transfer of heat occurs with direct metal-to-metal contact. The purpose of the TIM is to fill the microscopic pits and valleys in those mating surfaces to prevent insulating air from getting trapped in between. So too much TIM is in the way and counterproductive to the most efficient transfer of heat.
Yes, you might get a couple degrees better cooling with a more efficient TIM, but the facts are, if you "need" those extra couple degrees to avoid crossing over thermal protection thresholds, you have much greater cooling issues to deal with - like case cooling. AS-5 works great. I also like MX-4. Are there better, more expensive TIMs? Sure. But are they worth it? Nope.
Maintaining cool temps absolutely is critically important. Achieving the coolest temps possible is not. There is nothing to suggest a CPU running at 30°C will be more stable, perform better, or have a longer life span than a CPU running at 50°C. As long as the temp is comfortably within the CPUs normal operating temperature range, that's just fine.
