For sub zero cooling which TIM?

I used to use arctic silver, ceramique or some other white ceramic-based compound.

It made no difference to load temps whatsoever.

The ambient temp., type of gas and size of the compressor are the most important things.
 
most of the top TIM's are only about 1-3.C different from each other.
personally i like mx-4 as its easy to apply.
IC Diamond 24 was a little cooler (2.C) but at over double the price i would stick with mx-4 ;)

if the OP is willing to spend loads on phase change cooling then i suspect the 2C difference will be more interesting than the £10 extra spending
 
thing is, im told mx-4 solidifies under phase? not tried it myself yet.

After doing soem research i've found OCZ freeze was the best choice pre 2009 but not found much after that.
 
Arctic Ceramique is the only Tim that works properly under phase.
It is specified to work down to -50c. All other Tim's start to turn to powder when lower than -10c, so are effectively useless with modern Phase Change.
