Thermal paste

[Ahhlong]

I recently brought a hyper 212 evo and are using the thermal paste they have provided and I am thinking about getting a artic cooling mx 4 to replace the one cooler master supply me . So you guys think this is necessary and will bring down the CPU temps?

No I don't think it's necessary, the hyper 212 thermal paste is quite great ;)

The difference between the best paste and the worst is around 3oc(not including butter and toothpaste). There isnt really that much improvement.

But ifyou check out the video about thermal paste on NCIX There's actually a difference

What temps are you getting on idle and load?

If they're good, no point in changing anything (if it ain't broke, don't fix it).

Unless you're a temperature freak going for the highest overclock without using liquid nitrogen there is only a 3c degree difference between brands. If you want to spend more money that's up to you.
