Is there a consensus on thermal paste? 

I don't think anyone has made a proper assessment on literally the best paste, but Noctua's NT-H2 is one of the top ones.

I'll look into it. I got the mx 4 because it's non conducive electrically and I was afraid of over applying it and getting some on the socket. Thank you for your reply. I'm going to check it out now. I know Noctua makes good products.

tbh its hard to get thermal paste in the cpu socket unless you pull of a verge on it lol so i wouldn't worry about that ? 

Please quote or tag  @Ben17 if you want to see a reply.

If I don't reply it's probly because I am in a different time zone or haven't seen your message yet but I will reply when I see it ?

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut

Many reviews conclude Kryonaut to be the best non-liquidmetal paste.

This or Noctua NT-2 but these are beating with liquid metal if you can use them... I placed LM on my laptop GPU and CPU that was 5 years old and it has literally brought the old girl back to life, the old Nvidia 870M is a damn hot GPU
