Hey folks,

just as the title say, whats the best or better for the cpu cooler im going to use, thanks in advance

i use a 4770k in a GA-Z87X-UD3H, in a Corsair Vengeance C70.

The thermal paste it comes with should be just fine.

MX4

IC Diamond, best thermal compound ever!

[Peter Vaughan Truslow]

whatever's inexpensive and at hand. medium thickness is easiest to use. I use Arctic silver 5 and MX-4. I have achieved the same temps with both. I usually use exclusively the MX-4 for laptops because it's non capacitive and laptops have bare dies, but really both work equally well for me.

[Yttersta]

I am using Xigmatek Freezing Point G4718, it is one of the best when it comes to temperatures, one of the best when it comes to its thickness and it does not conduct electricity so provides ultimate safety.

 

I have been using these for 3 years now, the same tube in fact, it is not one bit dryer than the first day I got it.

What is the best thermal paste available on the market currently? I have heard good thing about Arctic Silver 5. Any suggestions?

[Enderman]

MX4

 

Really they are all about the same...

Here are some graphs: (AS5 is definitely not the best, it used to be ok, not any more really...)

All the good ones performs exactly the same. There is no point trying to find out which one is the best.

[HeathCliff]

Mayonnaise.

[Askew]

I use NT-H1

[Faa]

I use NT-H1

Same, probably the easiest paste to use. Spreads easily, wipes off easily

[Liam-McShane]

I use NT-H1

As do i. 

 

OP they're basically all the same with 1-2c difference between them at the most.

[Faceman]

Gelid GC Extreme it applies easy, is relatively cheap, comes with a spreader and is non-conductive. You can get it on eBay for $10 shipped.

[BiG StroOnZ]

Prolimatech PK-3 is up there with the best and is very easy to work with (compared to Cool Labs Ultra):

Heylo,

 

What do you guys think are the best brands of thermal paste? I want to know what you guys think is best because I want to buy some, and also just for general knowledge. The one you recommend can be any price, and brand, I don't mind, just wondering what you guys think, and what the majority think is best. Preferably compatible for GPU and CPU heatplates. 

 

Thanks!

Arctic Silver. ;p

[Excon]

I like MX-4, Arctic Silver 5 turns into glue I find, IC Diamond is good as well.

[Vacsol]

here's an old list including Mayonnaise, toothpaste, butter, lipstick and chocolate.

[Clyne]

Arctic silver 5

[menendez1293]

Noctua's thermal paste is not bad. 

[MegaDave91]

Mayonnaise is not a half bad alternative if you're in a pinch for temporary thermal paste.
