What is the BEST Thermal Paste?

[iiLouiisVoii]

So I recently bought my Cryorig M9i CPU Cooler and I'm wondering which Thermal Paste would be best for it.

Should I use the Thermal Paste that comes with the CPU Cooler or should I buy my own, if so which would be the best option

[DunePilot]

Can't go wrong with MX-4. 

[Praesi]

TP´s are all more or less the same. You can use the one that came with your Cooler

[Geralt]

MX-4 for the cheap but good one.

 

But if you really want the best of the best paste without getting into liquid metals, Thermal Grizzly's Kryonaut.

You can use what is on there but it's probably a good idea to pick up a tube of something.

i think i might just go with mx-4 but my friend has a spare arctic silver thermal paste should i just use that? and save me like 8 bucks

I recommend MX-4 too.

I used to put IceFushion from CoolerMaster but MX-4 is better.

 

But remember that proper heat dissipation is much better than a low/high class thermal paste.

 

I use now MX-4 and it's just a couple degrees cooler than Ice Fushion. (From 40°C to 38° under heavy load) in my case.

Its good but be careful to not get it on of the electrical components, its highly conductive (Arctic Silver). 

[Ryoutarou97]

Toothpaste. American cheese. Anal lubricant. Unicorn blood. Childhood aspirations. MX- 4.

[96Evo]

I like my arctic silver 5 X3

 

@DunePilot, MX-4 is non-conductive

You can use that. Just be careful with that stuff tho. It's conductive.

Thermal Grizzly's Kryonaut

Yes

[Enderman]

I use MX-4, and its really good

 

the best is coolaboratory liquid ultra

its liquid metal and very dangerous too

[Geralt]

Thermal Grizzly's Kryonaut

 

Bought the Hydronaut because the Kryonaut was out of stock on Performance PCs and it actually dropped my temps on my cpu by 5C and GPU by 10C when folding and this was coming from MX-4. My mind is officially blown.

 

Time to camp until Kryonaut's restocked LOL

[iiLouiisVoii]

if its the Arctic silver 5 then yes

rip he said its ceramique 2 .. i guess ill get mx-4 then

[Dabombinable]

No, its not. Its slightly capacitive but not conductive.

Hydronaut to Kryonaut wont yield much of a difference but yeah they are good pastes.

Aye I misspoke but the idea is the same, keep it off everything but the IHS.

Eats the crap out aluminum and copper to a lesser extent but good stuff. Use this on the die if you delid one and MX-4 on the IHS. I'd never use this on the IHS personally, just my humble 2 pesos.

il just get mx-4... but the thing is everything here has like 10 dollars shipping cost here in australia and my local pc store doesnt sell it

should i just use my mates thermal paste? its the arctic silver ceramique 2

i mean i dont wanna spend like 10-20 bucks on thermal paste because ive already spent like 55 bucks on the cpu cooler (39 bucks for cooler 16 dollars shipping)

depending on how it compares to the mx-4

Yeah you can definitely use that. If you ever get unsatisfactory temps, you can always buy another tube of paste.

 

Although I still highly recommend MX-4.
