Best heat sink paste?

what are the gurus using?

Us gurus are using capital letters at the start of a sentence.

Personally i use Arctic Cooling MX-4, you havea wide range of options, most of them are in the same ball park area, some will pull away from the pack, but most average pastes are about equal in performance.

This could help you out.

MX4 is generally one of the best and not too expensive. Similar will be Zalman STG2 or Gelid Supreme ( not Extreme ). I'm usually using one of these 3 , depends what is available.
It's hard to find best TIM as all depends from temperature. Some are good on ambient temps, some are better while testing with LN2 or dry ice.
I also don't think that paying 3x more to get 1*C better temps is good idea.

Why Gelid Supreme (not Extreme)? Why not Extreme? I'd be interested to know about a better TIM.
