The difference would MAYBE be a degree so just get the cheaper one.

Greetings community,

 

I was simply wandering which is a better thermal paste, obviously right now the NT-H1 is a much better value, but is it better, as good, or worse than Kryonaut?

 

NT-H1: https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NT-H1-Pro-Grade-Thermal-Compound/dp/B002CQU14A/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2IZPC8C7MLKDB&dchild=1&keywords=noctua+thermal+paste&qid=1614031833&sprefix=noctua+the%2Caps%2C227&sr=8-4

Kryonaut: https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly-Kryonaut-Grease-Paste/dp/B011F7W3LU/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=thermal+grizzly+thermal+paste&qid=1614031692&sr=8-3

Have to agree with @jaslionhere on the thermal paste. 

 

For the Noctua NT-H1, check out their 10g tube if you ever need more. That's what I did when it was $13 and is worth every penny.

Do you know about how long the shelf-life for that stuff is?

Yeah even "bad" thermal pastes like the arctic silver 2 are at worst like 3 degrees behind high end pastes.

If it's sealed it keeps for around 3-5 years normally. It's easy to see when it has gone bad. If the paste has a separated solid and liquid when you push it out it's basically expired.
