Choice of thermal paste

Grimley · 26 Dec 2009 at 11:37

Bit of a dilemma folks.

I'm about to do a build (part rebuild really) & I've gone to look for a tube of my trusty Artic Silver 5. Trouble is I cant find it! :mad:

I've found 2 other thermal pastes & they are

Prolimatech thermal compound.
Zalman Thermal paste.

So which one do I use, as I cant be arsed to go out & get some more AS5 (I'd have a job finding any in my local shops period let alone today)

Want to get this build off the ground today.

Thanks.

I'd just use the either as a temporary fix until you can find somthing better

Agree with Mr-White, just use whatever you have at hand, even if you do eventually get something like as5 the difference in temps will be pretty small. + you can get your rebuild up and running.

I've decided to use the Zalman as its only a small tube.
