Hi guys. Here are your questions rephrased:
1st: Are there significant differences between thermal grizzly hydro and mx4, especially since you can buy 20 grams of mx4 for around 16 euros? Also, which one is better between Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut and MasterGel Maker? How much does the maker produce—like 4g as with the grizzly?

You don't have to spread mx4, it's a very thin paste. Mastergel is quite thick and I would really suggest using the included spatula to apply it on the cpu heatplate, keeping 2-3mm clear around the edges. It's not a complicated task, just about 10 seconds extra. I dropped 5c over as5 and will now use Mastergel every time. Plus, it's 100% the best paste for GPU repasting, with the ideal consistency.

It's a 4gram syringe. You need a spreader and a single-use alcohol swab.

It seems you're referring to a product review page about thermal grizzly paste versus other brands. The link provided appears to be a detailed comparison of different thermal paste options.

Maybe a couple of degrees:

That's really not much, I think. I might buy 20 grams of mx4 because it's so cheap, and then get some liquid metal for my laptop.
Do you know the thermal conductivity of the Coollaboratory Liquid Pro? Also, how much is in a syringe? It looks way smaller than the Grizzly Conductonaut.

A 4 gram tube can handle 12 to 15 installations, but unless you're constructing something weekly, a 20 gram mx4 might run out before you need it.
