Best thermal solution?

[Yuval]

I'm going to upgrade my CPU, so i have to get some thermal compound anyway, so why not get the best !

 

My option are

 

ARCTIC MX-4

Noctua NT-H1

Zalman Super Thermal Grease ZM-STG1 3.5g

Arctic Silver 5 (3.5g)

Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Compound Grease 30g

 

Price is irrelevant, which one should i pick? Thanks for the help everybody!

NT-H1

My laptop currently having MX-4 as the thermal compound. Doesn't seem to work well.

Based on everybody saying, I gotta try NT-H1 for once to see how good it is

As the Noctua is 3x cheaper then the MX2, with seems to be worse, Noctua is it?

Mustard or mayonnaise!!!! lol (they actually do work according to the link @MaDoHo linked)... Jokes aside, Noctua one seems to be decent (never used anything else so I cant compare) and they include it with their coolers... So I always ended up using it... of course ive done my research and etc.. that it's not complete garbage... but yea any good/top thermal paste will have around 3 celcius swing from each other... and since I'm not doing any extreme OC it doesn't matter to me
