Kyonaut vs mx-4

[chimimoryo]

Which do you prefer and why?

 

My new cooler will be the thermalright t8 and the cpu will either be the ryzen 5800 or 5900

Difference is negligible

 

I just use whatever I have/is the cheapest

You're looking at a difference of less than 2 degrees Celsius, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Thanks here in Japan, the mx-4 is about 15us and kryonaut is about 7us on amazon

i chose mx-4 because its apparently easier to apply and there isnt that big of a difference

if that's the same size (amount of thermal paste)  then i would get the kryonaut because it seems the mx-4 is overpriced there

I didn't look at the amounts. The mx-4 was 4g at that price. Kryonaut was 1g at that price. The next step up for kryonaut was 5g for 24us

ok then the mx-4 would probably be better since you probably would need to reapply or upgrade cpu etc eventually

Thank you. I will remember this information when I buy my cpu in the future.
