Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and Arctic MX-6 thermal paste syringes angled toward each other in a side-by-side comparison

The real-world temperature difference between Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and Arctic MX-6 is 0 to 2 degrees Celsius. For practical purposes they perform identically. The choice comes down to use case: Kryonaut is the best peak performer for a one-time CPU installation or overclocking. MX-6 carries an 8-year performance guarantee and resists degradation better, making it the smarter choice for used GPU re-pastes or systems that run sustained high loads. Both are non-conductive and safe to apply to CPUs and GPUs. Read the full comparison.

Thermal Paste — Does Brand Matter and How to Apply It Correctly

The difference between a good thermal paste and a great one is 2 to 4 degrees Celsius. The difference between correctly and incorrectly applied good paste is 10 to 15 degrees. Master the technique first. Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut leads in peak conductivity at 12.5 W/mK. Arctic MX-6 carries an 8-year performance guarantee and is better for sustained high-load systems. Arctic MX-4 performs within 2 degrees of both at half the price. A pea-sized dot in the center of the CPU — no spreading required. Read the full guide.
