It's expensive because of that display on the pump head. The X73 model is the exact same cooler, but without that. Oh, there's also an RGB version of the X73 - costs more than the regular, obviously.Well, in that case I don't really know what to do... This cooler is quite expensive. Many people have this one. Are the better ones for less price? I don't know... I just read reviews, saw videos or builds. Nothing more.
Conductonaut is basically the top-end as far as consumer accessible thermal interfaces go. However, it's not for the feint of heart to install because you have to damn sure it doesn't leak out and touch anything electronic. Hydronaut is more like traditional thermal grease.
Unless you're going for overclocking records, just get thermal grease. Easier to work with and often you don't have to take special precautions.
Kryonaut is still technically better, but much more expensive due to its thermal range. Hydronaut is a good compromise.
Depends on how much you buy, but yes, in general all thermal compounds are affordable to the PC enthusiast. I tend toward a tube that allows for at least 3 or 4 applications.
But do we need to make several applications or something like once a year or every two years? On my actual pc I did it two times in 10 years but probably it is not the best way... I am not experienced with this...
Liquid metal also destroys aluminum, damages copper, and really only plays nice with nickel coatings, which is what heatspreaders and high end air coolers tend to be coated in. AIOs typically have a copper cold plate and the liquid metal will slowly eat it and be absorbed by the copper. That will need re-application every year or so.
That's Kryonaut Extreme in the link, not the original Kryonaut.
I see they have Extreme available in a 2g tube now instead of a tiny drum with ~8g inside... but geez, is Extreme expensive...
I'd have a hard time swallowing that price unless I was doing LN2.
Higher thermal conductivity is important, but performance tapers off quickly. The sole purpose of thermal grease is to fill in the gaps between the heat sink and the thing being cooled because air is a good thermal insulator. What's more important than conductivity is how thin the TIM application is. The difference in performance between the cheapo white goo you can find on Ali Express to something like the Kryonaut is like within 5C as long as the heat sink mounting pressure causes the TIM to become thin enough.Kryonaut Extreme seems to have more conductivity. Not necessary for a very good overclocking?

NO, because it is way too expensive(yes, even if you are loaded) for what it offers, combined with what you're planning to do with your build.
Kryonaut Extreme is for:
-Extreme overclocking
-LN2 cooling
You aren't the intended target for this stuff.
WHOOPS! Misread the last post!
The normal one is fine. You may have to repaste more often depending on use and abuse.
Short answer: Yes.So, what I would like to know in a very simple way is: Is Kryonaut (not the extreme) a good paste for my build?
