Best Thermal Paste?

[Izaya Orihara]

Doesn't the Coolaboratory stuff cement after a while though?

Not the new ones.

I just realized something after watching that video.... Why don't people apply heatsinks directly to CPU dies rather than onto the CPU lid?

Cause voding them warranties.

Huh, didn't know that.

MX-4 is probably the best value consumer paste there is. Especially given the fact it's non-conductive and has no cure time. So most people won't burn down their home using it.

Haha nice. I think i'm going to buy this right now - http://www.ncix.com/detail/arctic-cooling-arctic-mx-4-thermal-e2-68288-1010.htm

 

20 grams for $20 sure beats spending $6-10 on 4 gram tubes every other month!

What are you doing that requires use of thermal compound that often?  :huh:

Spreading it on toast. It's so much better than jam

 

Nah but between my hobby of fixing/building computers and general computer maintenance and repair for other people i go through a decent amount. I change the paste on every GPU and CPU i get my hands on.

Hey, 

       I was wondering what the best thermal compound be for overclocking? I was told that the Arctic Silver 5 or MX4? Are they right?

[AlwaysFSX]

Gelid GC-2?

[tek inpektor]

I use MX4 for CPU.

[Enderman]

MX-4

AS5 is pretty old, and is hotter than MX4, NH-T1, and the other top thermal compounds.

[Hirad123]

I always hear MX4 is the best but it shouldn't really affect your overclock at all, or barely anyways.

[Izaya Orihara]

Coolaboratory Liquid Pro/Ultra. 

[SovietOnion]

Gelid Extreme

Any graphs showing significant difference?

[PokémonTrainerFour]

mayo is actually a pretty ok thermal compound but i would use NT-H1, MX4, etc
