Thermal Paste for AMD processors

Hey guy!

I have a AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-core 32-threads with a water cooler Asus ROG Ryujin 360mm.

Which thermal paste is more recommended for this setup???

I have tested the Kryonaut extreme thermal paste, but she glued the processor in my water cooler, had a big problem take it off.

So, i think the ARTIC MX-6 should fit well, but i'm nervous. The regulars silver based thermal pastes doesn't work so well, the cooler keeps firing all time.

Can someone help me please???

Thanks!

I use Arctic MX-6 as it ranks among the top thermal pastes and is readily available and inexpensive.

If you want Thermal Grizzly get the Hydronaut to go with your liquid cooling solution. Kryonaut is made for sub-ambient cooling.

I bought the MX-6, just waiting the deliver, but i live in Brazil and it's kinda hot here, it's hard to keep the temperature of the environment fresh, so i need to use a thermal paste who really cool the system.

Only -1, -2C gains in my opinion from MX-4 to MX-6. Personally, I only use MX-4 anymore.

20g that's a lifetime supply!

I've used Arctic Silver 5, Arctic Cooling MX-4, MX-6 and currently have a Kryosheet in my rig. They all work really well.

Performance over Pretty.

I use Noctua NT-H1 on my 5950X with an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280.

It works pretty solidly.  I agree that nearly any thermal paste will be within a degree or two.

I also use Noctua NT-H1 on my 5950x, put some in the middle of cpu and clamp down the Noctua NH D15 chromax black, never have any issues. Been using the stuff for years.
