[SOLVED] Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut Thermal Pad for Ryzen 9 5900x

[Melvin_6]

Will this termal pad perform well with this cpu and a iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid cooler? Also what size should I get for this cpu (38x38)?

My build is
Case: NZXT noctis 450.
CPU Ryzen 9 5900x
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E
RAM: G.Skill TridentZ RGB Series - 16 GB, 2 x 8 GB
SSD: ADATA XPG GAMMIX S50 1 TB - PCIE 4.0
GPU: RTX 3080 (When I can find one).
PSU: Seasonic focus gold (80 plus gold) 850fx

I wouldn't use a thermal pad - they're often too thick and don't offer the conductivity that normal thermal paste would.

Use thermal paste.
