If you're looking for something high-quality, Thermalright TF7 is great and usually comes with their coolers. It's considered one of the best out there.

Literally, any thermal paste will do the job. Just pick one that's easy to find.

Honestly, it doesn't matter too much for the 9800X3D since it runs pretty cool. You can just stick with whatever comes with your CPU cooler. I initially used Arctic MX-4, but then I switched to MX-6 which I got for cheap on AliExpress. It dropped my temps by about 1-2 degrees, so that was a nice little bonus!

CuriousCat22: I was actually thinking about getting the ARCTIC MX-6, so I guess I got my answer. Thanks!
