Hey guys

Done a quick search, but it's not flagging up much of any use with regards to this question. Basically, I'm at a loss as to which thermal compounds/pastes/greases are the best.

Arctic Silver 5 is the one I've always heard people rave about for years now, but I see that Arctic has a number of competing products, such as MX-3, Silver Matrix and Thermal Epoxy.

I'm guessing each has better application depending on what use you put it to, but I'm stumped. Can anybody give me any pointers?

Cheers.

I'd rather tint than lap, sandpaper and my CPU scares me senseless. Already had the pre-applied garbage glue to my CPU and rip it out of the locked socket...
