What thermal paste?

[dev893]

so when I get my new CPU should I buy more Arctic silver 5 or should I just use the thermal paste that came with my Coolermaster Hyper T4?

My paste of choice, although the paste that comes with the cooler will be fine, between the top few pastes there lies only a small handful of degrees' difference.

Just use the stuff that comes with your heatsink.

 

EDIT:  Unless you're doing serious overclocking, the stock stuff will do its job just fine.  They wouldn't sell you something that doesn't work.

Yeah I know, I have a few tubes of it. It's still poo paste because it's from Noctua. Lol

I used to use Arctic Silver 5, but once I tried out "Arctic MX-4" I was a lot happier with it. Easier to apply, non-curing and I got a 4-5c difference with my CM Hyper 212 EVO. So, I suggest either "Arctic MX-4" or the "Noctua NT-H1" Askew posted.

Well I'm getting the Athlon X4 760K and I want to OC it to atleast 4ghz  if it's anything like my A6 I shouldn't have to raise my voltage at all
