Update on this, I bought the MX 4 and used it, the temperature did not change so I guess its a cooler thing. I initially wanted to use a X pattern for the most coverage but when I first squeezed I kinda got a little bit too much on it, so I ended up using the spread method by taking a spreader and spreading the paste on the cpu. Edit: tho the cinebench score did increase a little to ~3220.

Ha, no worries all is good.

Thank you! Yeah, I followed the instructions carefully and did some testing using AIDA64 and cinebench R20 the score is ~3150 lower than other people are getting at ~3600+. And yes I do have xmp on in the bios at 3200Mhz. Hm, alright but I'm not sure what to do with the extra 3 grams as I don't plan to build any more computers. Also I did not mention anything about liquid metals in the post? I think you got confused between Carbonaut and Conductonaut. Carbonaut is their thermal pad similar to the IC Graphite pad.

Hi all, I recently built my first rig and got a ryzen 5 3600 with a CM Hyper 212 Turbo. And the idle temps a little high at 50-60c and under load (using AIDA64) it won't go above 80c (It's not boosting above 3800mhz either). So I'm thinking of using another thermal paste instead of the one provided by CM. I'm thinking of either Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut or MX 4, they are about a 1 USD difference here. 1 gram and 4 grams respectively (I don't think mx 4 has a 1 gram ver). I also don't need 4 grams of thermal paste for just 1 application and maybe repasting the GPU. Another thing is that I'm deadly afraid of using not enough paste on the CPU so using a thermal pad like the Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut seems like a good compromise. But how does it fair against these HDT coolers? How will it deal with the dents?
