I like to use Arctic Silver MX-4.

It's arctic cooling MX4. Arctic silver is a different company.

Intel Inside. Overweight guy in his 30's outside.

NT-H1 is pretty damn good for the money. Ignore the MX-4 suggestions. :P

how about going back to the basics? mx-2 :P

NT-H1 is definitely good, if it's a good value is a different matter...

Most Paste are about the same with 1-3 degree difference.

 

CLU in the other hand can lower up to 20 degrees cel. But not sure about CLU only on the IHS/Block without de-lid.

 

but MX-4 is still pretty good imo.
