Which thermal paste to use

[doomsriker]

I am replaceing my stock heat sink. Which thermal paste should I use. I don't want to break the bank, but I am willing to pay more for noticably better performance. Let me know what you guys recomend. Amazon links are appreciated. Thanks.

I believe they're all pretty much the same to within a degree or two. Arctic Cooling MX-4 seems to be a decent balance of price and quality.

I use IC diamond.. it's a bit more expensive and it only gets maybe a few degrees cooler, but IMO it's worth it, have used about 3 or 4 applications so far from 1 tube and can still get a few more out of it for sure... should last me another uear or so maybe.

 

I would put Amazon links but you didn't even say which county you're from
