IC Diamond 7 or 24( really they are the same) and MainGEAR T1000 or Indigo Xtreme. EK has the exact same phase change TIM as Indigo and MainGEAR too.

A water-cooled mid-tier gaming PC.

Noctua NT-H1 is the best for me, plus it's non conductive.

I.C diamond otherwise MX-4 or MX-2

 

The first is the best, the latter two are equally good (one is more spreadable than the other) but are both non-conductive and won't scratch anything unlike the I.C diamond.
