so, i need some new thermal paste because i lost my tube of NT-H1 and i saw that you can get a 8g tube of MX-2 for about $8 compared to a tube of NT-H1 costing $15, so is it decent? iv looked around and it seems to be better the AC5 but worse then NT-H1, i will use it for the Toaster Project and for my new computer which will be using a full custom WC loop so is it good enough for that or should i get something else? NT-H1 is the only really good paste i can get my hands on right away, everything else would need to be shipped so ther is that cost too to think about. thanks for any help and any replies :D 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

All TIM is decent. The difference between best and worst is only a few degrees C (excluding liquid metals)

so i guess its decent enough for my purpose then, thanks
