Noctua NH-U12P

Hey guys, quick question:

Just installing my noctua but wondering which thermal paste to use. The Noctua comes with its own tube of compound but i also have a spare tube of arctic silver 5 laying around. Any real difference between the two?

Thanks

It won't really make too much difference although I'd stick with the Noctua one. It is one of the best TIM's about.

I used AS5 on mine and it has performed superbly. Might try the noctua next time.
