H110 Thermal Compound

So I was looking at thermal pastes for my h110 because I had to swap it out for my stock cooler for demonstration purposes to my family. Any way I am an extreme overclocker and I keep my 3770k at 4.8 ghz and sometimes over and I was wondering which is the best thermal compound to use; arctic silver, ic diamond, etc. and are there any other advantages to using that verses other compounds besides heat transfer.

My system- I7 3770k (4.8ghz), Asus Maximus V Extreme, Corsair H110, Windows 8 Pro, Gigabyte HD 7970, Silverstone Strider Gold Evolution 1200w, Corsair H110, Corsair Vengance 2X8gb 1866 (OC2133), Samsung 840 500gb, Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB, and all housed in a NZXT Switch 810.

I personally use MX-2 from Arctic Cooling, but I also have a couple of tubes with IC Diamond. Both are great options and have their advantages and disadvantages

IC diamond, but it's not going to affect anything that much no matter what TIM you use.

Just mix your own, I did this!

I call this IC diamond green edition. Green for extra eco-friendly.

(totally not recommended.)

 

I actually don't use this stuff, I am sure it will kill you and your CPU.

How did you make that?
