Thermal Paste

[Slasher.BBO]

So im pretty sure this is where it belongs.

as a first time builder I want to know if its recommended to go with a 3rd party thermal paste( and which to go for)

or if i should stick to the pre applied thermal paste no a h100i platinum rgb SE AIO cooler.

motherboard is a z390 auros master and cpu is a i5 9600k. if those stuff are needed

Im probably not gonna do a big overclock if im even gonna do it in the first place

If the 3 degrees difference matters, getting something like IC diamond or something expensive from Thermal Grizzly is what you want, but the pre applied stuff and a backup store of something basic like MX-4 would do.

H100i and I5 9600k... i think you should revise your build unless you have those parts already bought.

 

anyway just go with what comes with the cooler, some have preapplied and some dont. There are a few degrees to be gained from going with something like NT-H2 or Kryonaut but the stuff that comes with it is decent usiually

no it shouldnt matter that much to me, would the arctic silver 5  3,5g be worth or should i get a bigger  like a 8g MX-4
