So I used the pink Kryonaut extreme on my gpu and it definitely is better long term than the mx5 and the regular Kryonaut (much better than regular Kryonaut) - lasted about 6 months before fan started getting annoyingly loud again and temps creeping up.The regular Kryonaut I used from 2018 till 2022 (upgrades).
I'd buy Kryonaut Extreme pink bubblegum (long term durability)

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme Thermal Paste
Kryonaut Extreme is a high-performance Thermal Paste with optimized low-temperature load capacity for extreme overclocking.www.thermal-grizzly.com
If you don't care much about a posssible few degrees higher running CPU you could still use Arctic Silver 5, it's really long lasting stuff, used it on my dads PC back in 2010, still runs today, now almost 2023.....
Ran really well on the cpu though - no pump out or temp difference vs fresh paste on the 12600k after 6 months and was still nice and gooey when I took off the aio even in areas where it was thin.
I think the msi Ventus cooler design is just not that great at keeping paste - the original reason for repasting was that the card got much louder as it aged and ram temps were out of control due to inferior thermal pads - that oem paste was basically dry clay on the gpu when I opened it up.
