which thermal paste to buy?

[saz]

Hi Guys,

I have just bought Corsair H50 from a fellow member here, now I need a good thermal compound to use it with the processor mentioned below in my sig. Kindly suggest me a good thermal compound.

I don't have much idea either about various brands and their specifications or about the price range. I would really like the budget to be as less as possible but don't want to compromise on quality.

Thanks!

i my opinion both ARCTIC SILVER 5 and ARCTIC MX2 are good options. Last I enquired , AS5 was available at Nehru Place (a shop on the First Floor, don't remember the name of the shop ) at Rs. 400.

You can also try lynx-india Artic Cooling ― Lynx - The Audio , Electronics And Computer Online Store In India to buy thermal compound.

Hey Guys, How good are Cooler Master thermal pastes? I went to local computer market and there most of the shopkeepers were either unaware of TIM or they offered some local paste in small boxes for 20-30 rs.

Only one shop had Cooler Master thermal paste and was asking for Rs. 200. Is it worth to buy cooler master TIM? or I should go to Nehru Place to buy Arctic Silver5/MX2/MX4 or Tuniq MX4?

Tuniq MX4 is way better than Cooler Master thermal pastes.

That must be Cooler Master HTK-002 and is overpriced... Also its electrically conductive..

If u are not open to get it online, ask for cooler master Thermal Fusion 400 ~ Rs. 450

its simply would have been waste of bandwidth
maybe Uncut one was better

Cooler Master Thermal Fusion @ Rs500. Has a large quantity and good performance.

@v.Na5h, Guess u hav misplaced the post..

@megamind: yes, I guess it was Cooler Master HTK-002. I would buy TIM from SMC Nehru Place now or might think of buying online. Thanks!

Get the Arctic MX4 if buying online.

If you can find shin-etsu pastes then even better.

So, I want to know, according to you, which one is the best??

^^Shin etsu x23...

 

[Extreme Gamer]

The best would be Indigo Extreme but thats a metal interface that will corrode and damage aluminum coolers so I cant recommend it. There is IC Diamond which literally uses diamonds in its paste but shin etsus are better. There is also another company with a tube based metal interface TIM but I forgot its name.

X23 has two common variants- 7762 and 7783D. this review compares the G751 and the two X23s. you might wanna have a look:

EDIT: Get the Prolimatech PK-1. Best paste in the market lol.
