[sukhvir41]

hey 

can anyone recommend bang for the buck thermal paste, as cheap as possible

[Jeroen1322]

Just go to your local pc store and ask what their cheapest thermal paste is.

He said bang for the buck, not the ultimately cheapest

[Jeroen1322]

Cheap= Bad temps and really not worth swapping over to

I have the cheapest thermal paste that was in the store and my CPU temperature never was higher than 31*C (87 *F) but i'm cooling that thing like crazy  

[Jeroen1322]

Yeah how many rads are you throwing at it to get 31c? unless thats your idle temps

It is just air cooled but i modified my case so from the top and the left side 120mm fans fit and they run at 1600 rmp ;P

[Jeroen1322]

I'm failing to believe that sorry, What cpu,cooler,clock speeds and voltages are you running?

i have the AMD FX-6300 i believe and the CPU cooler is an Be Quiet! i believe dark power sr2 or something and i don't know the clock speeds en voltages right now because i'm at dad's house and my PC is at my mom's. but i didn't overclock it or anything.

Just use that which come with your cooler, it is best for buck. 

[Jeroen1322]

Mmmm I kinda really doubt that sorry

No problem, if you want i can send you some pictures later on in the day, (i'm going home today). 

[Jeroen1322]

If you want dude I'm not fussed either way

Haha ok, but am i right that AMD CPU's don't get as hot as Intel CPU's

[Jeroen1322]

No, in general they throw out more heat. Particularly once you OC them. 

 

But the 4 and 6 core variants are pretty easy to manage heat wise, but they stick more around the 45-50 degree ballpark with a good cooler on them.

i have the 6 core but it never hit  45 - 50 degree. well not when i checked haha

i am buying cooler master evo tx3 which comes with a thermal paste so should i go for it or buy a  new thermal paste

Use that it is good enough.

I don't see why you would want the "best bang for your buck" I mean you could get like the best out there for like $7.

I would use the one included because the one included is decent enough to cool your cpu..
