What Thermal Paste to buy?

[TheBluePotato]

Heyho!

 

First off: If that topic was recently made I apologize; I couldn't find anything recent.

 

Simple Question:

 

I want to replace all the Thermal paste in my system (Meaning CPU and my 2 GPU's)

 

What to get?

Thermal Grizzly? Arctic MX-4? IC-Diamond?

 

I don't want to Liquid metal, cause its too spoopy for me and not really worth the trouble. I did consider IC Diamond, but I've read it would be really hard to work with (literally, because its not so pasty, but kinda stiff, espacially the first bit)

 

What are you guys using?

i've been using silver 5, but recently got myself 10g of nt-h1

 

i've seen tomshardware doing a great test with some common pasts, i'd check that out

I've been using MX-4 for a while and really like it.

I actually pick up a tube of the EKWB Ectotherm last time I was in microcenter. You get a huge tube for pretty cheap (7 bucks) and it was for a few builds I did over the last month for family members. Honestly, it seems to perform on par with everything else and appears to be of high quality. Found the following  benchmark. So it is on par with MX4. I mean most consider Kryonaut the absolute best and we are talking a 2c difference which isn't terrible and unless you need every c you can get it is a good paste.

Personally use the noctua Nt-h1
