Like the title says guys. I want you guys to please recommend me a thermal paste on Newegg for my GPU. I have a GTX 560 (non Ti). I'm sure there are different rules as well compared to applying thermal paste on a CPU. This is my first time doing this so any tips would be extremely helpful to me.

Thanks man I'll most likely get the MX-4 

I would recommend Arctic Silver 5

 

I use this for all my CPUs but thought it wouldn't be the best choice. I just don't want to risk losing my card.

Yes, I have used it many times too but like I said in my reply to @LT Smith, I'm going to buy "higher quality" thermal paste just to play it safe with my card.

Arctic Silver 5 is a good quality thermal paste. I just don't recommend it since it is highly conductive, and the risk of short circuiting is present.

Gelid gc extreme, Artic Mx-4, Noctua Nt-h1 are all good.

Thanks, I already decided on the MX-4 :)

Yeah I don't want it shorting out my card. :c

Thanks for the help and I'll post the results here.
