Best value thermal paste?

[Helpful Tech Witch]

I'm sorry if this goes somewhere else, but I need some new thermal paste, as my PC has had it's thermal paste used in around 3  different PCs. What's the best thermal paste for Less than like 15 dollars?

To be honest, most TIM is below $15. 

 

I personally have a load of MX-4 and it's solid. Noctua NT-H1 is good as well as Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.

MX-4 and NT-H1 both come to mind immediately. Pretty much, if it's any color other than gray or silver and/or it comes in a jar, it's trash.

Just buy a really big tube for like $20 and never need to buy thermal paste again.

Just make sure to pick the clumps out after couple years.

Or buy a graphite pad that is reusable though I only would recommend it if you reinstall your cooler frequently

It's for increased cooling preformance over 7 year old paste that's been used in 3 PCs I think that it's still better than a pad.
