Best Thermal Paste

Hi, I was under the impression that Artic Silver 3 was the best around, but then a few guys on irc said there were a few better. The only one that actually got mentioned was nanotherm. Any opinions on this?

i don't think theres going to be that much of a difference, most people use arctic silver and some use shin etsu

asIII , ocz ultra II and some others

AS Cyramique. It gives you a couple more degrees over even the AS3.

I recently picked up some Shin Etsu G751 and so far it is 2C better than Arctic Silver and Ceramique after a 4 day cure in. I have applied AS3/Ceramique on this board at least 7 times and the Shin Etsu twice so I am pretty sure that variables like mis-application, block tension, etc can not account for the temp difference. The downside is Shin Etsu is extremely difficult to work with.

nanotherm PCM+ seems to be MUCH better than AS3 and ceramique, 4-7C difference from the link below. This paste or liquid is like the ShhinEtsu but will apply and clean much easier.


IF you ask me that is worth every penny.
