Recently picked up the Ryzen 9950X3D and I'm looking for thermal paste recommendations. My current setup uses Arctic MX-4, but wondering if something better would help tame this beast. Anyone running this CPU with good thermal results? Thinking about Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut or Noctua NT-H2, but open to suggestions. Worth spending extra on liquid metal or is that overkill? Also curious about application method - X-pattern or pea?
Noctua NT-H2 is recommended.
