MX4 is still good, but MX6 is better and will last a long time. It's about the same price too.I want to change thermal paste and probably thermal pads for my gpu card Aorus 2080 Ti extreme.What thermal paste is better: Arctic Mx-4 or Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut ?
thanks in advance

Kingpin Extreme 10Grams $32
IMHO, KPx is the best of the best, but pricey! MX-6 performs very nearly the same(3%-4%) for 1/3rd the price.

That doesn't mean it's ideal. Ideal is 64C and below. Between 65C and 70C is acceptable, but not preferred. Above 70C is in the area of temps that some(myself included) consider unacceptable.And 73-75°C isn't anywhere dangerous.

I wonder why they excluded SYY and Honeywell?All the mentioned pastes will be within 5-10 degrees of each other under these circumstances. Not enough to get a cool running card to overheat with a worse paste, or get an overheating card to run cool with a better paste.
Just pick one that fits into your price range.
Here some different review results from different roundups across the last decade or so:

And 73-75°C isn't anywhere dangerous.

I guess because the PTM 7950 (if that is the Honeywell product you're referring to) and the SYY-157 are fairly new products in the mainstream market. But in gaming laptop circles, the PTM 7950 and its derivatives are second to none in thermal performance and the longevity to withstand repeated high to low temperature swings that often happens in laptops due to their smaller heatsinks and comparatively less mounting pressure capability on the baseplate assemblies. Those reviews are somewhat old, too. (in comparison to new products introduced to the market).I wonder why they excluded SYY and Honeywell?

80 degrees is nice and cool. You do not need to repaste anything.i am worry about my temperatures on my Aorus extreme card that's why i want to change thermal paste. In Alan Wake II sometime i hit 80 or even 81 degree with 60% FAN.If i set 80% FAN temp drop to 73-75 degree.I am in dangerous zone of thermal .I mean the card runing fine OK ,without BSOD or throttling,but i m scare with that temperature.In another game title like Alien Dark Descent my card goes to only 51-60 degree,but in Alan Wake II in some area goes to 80-81 degree,and now is winter ,and my case is in very ventilated room with 10 degree ambiental room

Use good putty for your graphic card VRAM. The pads the problem is that sometime you need 1.2mm or it doesn’t close the gap enough resulting in some crazy delta.Try the Upsiren UX Pro / U6 Pro or the top of this chart.
