Oh My Gawd, Thermal Grease EVERYWHERE!!!

[BigBiker05]

So here's a little tech question, or mostly preference.

So I bought a tube of thermal paste, my MoBo came with a tube, my heatsink came with a tube, and I already had a tube in my toolbox.

So, here's the Q., which one is best pony?

EVGA Frostbite (came with MoBo)
Dynex (will probably throw away)
Arctic Silver 5 (my guess, the one I bought)
CoolMaster Supreme (came with heatsink)

So...

Which one is the old stuff in your toolbox? If it's not the AS5 I'd use that.

I'm hardly an expert on these sort of things, but when I built my pc, I used Arctic Silver 5.

[BigBiker05]

Dynex is the old stuff, plus it is just what best buy carries so I happened to pick it up last time I needed it.

Arctic 5 is the one I bought, it seems to have the highest popularity on NewEgg. Unless anyone says otherwise I'll be using it.

[TheCarpe]

I've never had a problem with Arctic Silver.

[Clay Pigeon]

I just used the coolermaster stuff with my current build, and I'm happy with my temps. My last build used as5 with a thermalright cooler, and I wasn't happy with the temps.

AS5. Have had terrible luck with everything else.

I just use whatever crap is already on the processor.

Arctic 5 is the only one on that chart, nice find nonetheless.
(been working on my PC all night, used arctic 5)
