It depends on the CPU specifications you have, if you have a CPU that runs hot you need the best paste you can afford, if you have a CPU that doesn't you can go for a cheaper paste. And don't be tempted by the big tubes of paste, you only use a small pea size amount put on the center of the CPU, when the cooler is then attached, the mounting pressure of the cooler squashes the paste evenly over the top of the CPU. This application will last years, the only time you will ever need a big tube of paste is if your a builder putting together hundreds of computers, for the everyday person a small tube will last you years. |

Unless you are struggling to cool a hot cpu you dont need the best thermal compound. The difference on a 250watt cpu between a thermaltake and arctic was only 4c celcius maybe max If you still have the ryzen 3600 you have nothing to worry about.

High quality compound can make a difference on a beast cpu that someone is trying to keep below thermal throttling. Helps with the fast thermal spikes caused by the latest intel k series chips with liquid cooling. A amd ryzen cpu that is not overclocked and has no crazy high clocks is easy to keep cool.

its good to reapply every few years. cheaper paste usually dries up
