    Kryonaut will get the job done. If its a good price then no reason not to use it.

    Gelid Extreme also comes to mind. I use NTH1 mostly because it also gets the job done but much cheaper. If you are looking for the best then Kryonaut / Gelid Extreme are good choices for that.

    Kryonaut is usually not recommended for laptops because it will pump out (dry out) VERY quickly if the heatsink does not have a firm, solid and air gap free fit. That's why it's usually preferred on desktops.

    What I prefer for laptops, if you are not doing all the prep work for liquid metal, is Coolermaster Gel Maker Nano. Very durable paste and tends to last longer on weaker fitting heatsinks. Give that a try.
