hey guys

what thermal paste would you guys suggest for me?

any new suff out there?

and also, can you use normal thermal paste (eg: arctic silver 5) on a water cooling block? such as the cpu block?

thanks simon

arctic silver is all i ever use

tried the pre supplied paste once and found it a pain to get right

AS5 i use

mx-2 for me,easier to move around that as5,also a better conductor.

MX-2 , always 3-5c better than AS5 for me.

I'd say it was near impossible to test or do a vs because surely each spread can give totally different results for example as5 might be say 30c idle then next time you try it 28c and so on.
