guys i am having Cm Hyper 212 Evo cooler.few days before its fan stopped working and i sent it to the service center.i sent the whole heatsink including the thermal compound tube which they give with the cooler.now they have lost that tube and asking me to buy a new one.:-x(screw you Cooler Master)so i want to know which one to buy as i don't know which one i actually i get with the cooler.so is this Cm 150/- Thermal compound is good or should i buy this Artic silver 5.will i see a huge temp difference?

Artic Silver 5 is a real good one and you'll see some temp difference instantly. It is Halide based and conductivity oh great is higher. Another vfm option is CM thermal fusion. You'll get lots of amount at 450 bucks.

I used the CM thermal fusion 400 on the proccy in my signature. temps came down from 88 degress(pc shutdown) to 38 degrees idle and 60 degrees on full load for around 45 mins :D Helluva TIM that.

^^ similar experience with CM Thermal Fusion - temps reduced 12c on a Pentium D cpu ;-)

AS5 is good but it's electro conductive - so it needs to be carefully applied but TF400 is non electro conductive - so it's safer to use and the temp difference is only 2c between these at best - so TF400 is hight recommended ;-)

The one bundled with CM Hyper 212 is an unlabelled small tube of Thermal Fusion 400. Get the same.
