Best thermal paste

What the best thermal paste to buy 

[adm0n]

For what purpose?

[hello_there_123]

There all within 1C , execept some bad ones..

cheap thermal paste like Arctix MX-4 does the job if you don't care about those last 3 degrees. High quality stuff like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is what you'd like if you want the utmost performance.

According to benchmarks TG Kryonaut is the best non liquid metal paste.

Well you already got a good answer and that CPU doesn't produce a ton of heat. If you want to dig a bit deeper, go look at this article:

They did some test and saw some differences, but they were all minor (except for liquid metal or something like that), but they are mostly in the margins of error ...

mx4 is the most popular, not expensive and with great results

 

if you can buy a 20g syringe, the 4g one will let you install like 10 cpus, the 20g will let you install alot of cpus

 

there are cheaper ones but those basically are too liquid and evaporates in weeks, im testing one very cheap but so far is doing well is so cheap that i cant even find it on ebay lol

yea I agree, MX-4 is cheap and it is within 2 degrees of the most expensive pastes on the market.

I was in a bind once and used that Silicon heat paste (comes in a 50g container, with a BRUSH) and it worked insanely good. 

 

Virtually anything is better than nothing, and the crazy high end stuff is only for the 1% of overclockers who need that last 2 degrees.
