Go to solution Solved by Lays,

Gelid GC extreme is basically the best consumer paste on the market, I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I am searching for a new thermal paste!

It should work for both a CPU and a GPU and transfer the heat very well!

Would be neet if it doesn't dry out after some time or corroses the hardware.

I will use it with air and also water cooling components.

And of course it shouldn't be too expensive.

Please post your suggestions! :)

Ah thanks for those diagrams!

 

You know how much I will need for 2 CPUs and 1 GPU?

 

 

1 tube is more than enough.

 

I bought 1 tube like 3 months ago, used it to replace 6 GPU thermal pastes, and like 7 CPU applications.\

 

It's still like half full too!
