Help & Advice Thermal paste

[techtony]

I need your advice on thermal paste. This is first time I've had to reattach a cpu cooler. Will Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste be alright to use on my i7 6700k and corsair H100i gtx? Any recommendations for another make / type of thermal paste?

Thanks for your advice.

Yes, that should be fine.

If you're doing something crazy like phase change or something you'll want to use a different type of paste that's particularly nonconcductive, but as it is you should be pretty good with that.

If you already have the Arctic...it'll be ok. if not. I've found the Noctua NT-H1 the easiest to apply following their recommended procedure.
