Best paste for 5970's?

snedie · 29 Dec 2011 at 10:14

I'm putting my 5970's under water in the next week or two, just waiting on a few components now. One thing I haven't settled on on the thermal paste for the gpu cores. On my i5 I've got MX5, and I couldn't be more happier, but considering GPU's get much hotter I was unsure if there was a better paste available.

Thanks for any info.

gpu.s don't get hot under water.

just use the same paste. there is only a few degree between them anyway

So any decent brand will do?

ye.

gpu.s cool a lot better under water than a cpu.

the paste that comes with the block will do. or what you already have

no point in spending more for the sake of 1c
