@OP:
Can you please explain to me how a thermal paste, that once applied, is basically stationary, could have caused this damage ?? Unless of course the following happened:
1) the paste contained some abrasive particles, OR your heatsink/cpu surface was dirty with old, hardened paste, AND
2) you applied the paste and then twisted & turned your heatsink many, many times before and/or after tightening the mounting screws....
I have used almost every brand/type of thermal paste over the years of building pc's (including kryonaut) and have never encountered a single one that contained ANY abrasive particles whatsoever, so I am just trying to imagine what would cause this issue....

It happens with this bad batch. Known issue with abrasive particles in the paste itself.

As @R-T-B mentioned above, this is a known problem. Reach out to the company and let them know. I've seen this and bought some fine grained sandpaper to polish out the nicks. It's really not difficult. If you'd like some details let me know and I'll walk you through it.Anyone else had a problem with Grizzly Kryonaut causing abrasive damage in the way of micro scratches and pitting?

Right. It's as easy as buying some 1200 or 1500 grit sandpaper, laying it on a very flat surface and lightly polishing the affected heatsink surface.The nicks/abrasions are indeed not deep at all and can be polished out with relative ease.
You'll need to contact Grizzly for more info. IIRC, the recall is still in effect and they very likely will send you a replacement.Do you know if there any way to identify the bad batch from the packet?

Why so many people buy kryonaut for an air coolers? For fack sake, this is for liquid nitrogen setups. Just use aeronaut like every decent living human being. It's cheaper and perform just as well. Or use the trusted mx-4.
Cheers for the feedback chaps.
This was first time I used Kryonaut, I had always used Arctic Silver and never had a problem.
As you can imagine I'm regretting trying something different now.
Going to try the fine grain sandpaper idea and polish the nicks out.
Do you know if there any way to identify the bad batch from the packet?
