Best CPU Thermal paste 2014/2015

[1etherer]

Just want to get a Recommend on a "as good or better" thermal paste than Noctua's NT-H1?

Would anyone suggest anything different?

(maybe this thread should move to mods??)

Personally, I like Artic MX-4, it's nothing that better or worse than the others except that it has an 8 yr warranty not to dry out.

You have some good stuff...

NT-H1 is good stuff. At full burn our processor only averaged 81.25C, and at our processor's idle temps (still far higher than most processors' burn temps) were just 41C.

Geek Approved?: Yes

Doesn't really matter much as long as you're using a decent TIM. I still use AS5 on all my builds.

I used to use AS5 all the time (it's good too) but I noticed if you let it sit for any length of time, it tends to separate in the tube

I've had the same tubes for the past 8 or so years. They hardly get used and they aren't separated. I have a small one and a large one.

I use AS5 and Xigmatek usually for OC stuff. For normal builds shop wise just the stock TIM of course.

Last time I bought a Xigmatek cooler (Rifle S1283...Good 'ol Core2Duo)...they were including tubes of TX-2. Used AS5 prior to that, and had several TX-2 tubes. Just opened my last one a month or so ago.

I went for the MX 4, ill see how it performs
