Hello, I'm planning to buy the Ryzen 7 9800X3D but heard it's recommended to use a secure frame and thermal paste, or maybe a thermal pad like the Thermalright Heilos. What are your recommendations and why? I don't mind spending extra; I only care about 100% optimization. Thank you for your help!

@Ashley Also bought this, I've tested this thermal compound on various setups: NH-D14 with FX-8350 and AIO coolers with Ryzen 9 3900X, all under heavy BOINC workloads. While lacking precise measurements, it outperforms budget options and matches premium pastes like Hydronaut, with thinner consistency than NT-H1.

I've been using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut with my 9800X3D and seeing excellent results. It's not the cheapest option, but the thermal conductivity is top-notch, and I'm getting 3-4°C better temps compared to the stock paste that came with my cooler. Worth the investment for these X3D chips that can run hot.
