Best Thermal Paste?

[grimmjow660]

I use Antec Formula 7

Snip

I'm actually a bug proponent of the credit card thin spread method myself. I still use AS because the tube has yet to run out, but I may try the Promilatech or the noctua next time.

[Sintezza]

i used Phanteks Thermal paste, it works fine

Its probably the same stuff as the Noctua NT-H1

[VortexS]

I just bought the one the guy from the store gave me, and it works fine.

Arctic MX4 is good, although I've heard some bad things about the Arctic Silver, it's apparently like superglue if you want to change out the cooler or CPU

[MasonV]

Another thing to keep in mind is the what the heck you're putting this on. While this thread would be useful say if I'm reapplying thermal paste to my brand new i7-4790k (which I don't actually have ), when it comes to my old pentium E600 which I just decided to reuse for a HTPC it don't need something fancy so just about any paste will do.

[Trik'Stari]

God I wish I had the money to get a cheap pentium anniversary edition and a z97 OC board and try out my idea of using JB weld as thermal paste. Granted it's super ultra mega uber permanent, but I think it might work well for heat transfer since it basically becomes metal when it cure's.

Pretty much, i dont know what to buy, i dont know what is and isn't reliable so any help will be appreciated, I've seen this

but im not sure if there is anything better in the price range, Thanks! :-)

Noctua NT-H1 should cost that much.

[thekeemo]

I just use what comes with cooler

[Clyne]

Arctic Silver 5 or Noctua NH-H1 

chart for the temps

[loccilucas]

HT-H1 but it doesn't really matter it barely affects temps. What cooler are you using? because the one that comes with the cooler is usually ok.

Thanks!

Arctic MX-4 is great and inexpensive. 

 

Here's a good study with benchmarks for Liquid and Air cooling.

I have the stock INTEL cooler, but i also want to replace my GPU paste as its getting a bit hot and anything will help!

[Ex0Thermic]

I recently redone my H100i with Arctic MX-4 and it knocked about 12'c of my temps.
So MX-4 gets my thumbs up 

[Daigo]

Cooler Master ThermalFusion 400 its a good choice for its price.

Arctic silver 5 is good I used it on my GTX 670 FTW

Well...I don't know what i expected

[Dicoray]

Arctic silver 5 works great, but the thermal paste that comes with your cpu cooler should work just fine unless you plan on doing massive overclocking.

12º....

 

I think you just did a lousy job the first time around.

I've had my h100i about 13 months. about 3 months ago my fans seemed to be spinning faster. So I checked over everything and even reinstalled windows but now joy. last month I ordered some mx-4 and arcticlean and my idle dropped back down to 30-35 and my max when doing ooct, prime, etc are now under 65.

so like I said mx-4 gets my thumbs up

if new paste knocked 12 of your original temps (when the other stuff was fresh) then you did something wrong. Better paste shouldn't improve temps by that much.

[alihazzi7]

after removing my h100i past that came with it, i applyed my arctic silver 5 my temps went from 38c idle to 45c idle and max 64c to max 73c what is the best past out there, ?
