Which thermal paste would you suggest for GPUs?
All I know is, it shouldn't be conductive, but so far from reviews I've read, they're all conductive, some just less than others?

I also read about thermal pads, do all GPUs have these, if so, will I need something special for these pads, or will a normal paste work aswell?
 
Thanks, I already ordered a tube of Xigmatek PTI-G3606, after reading a roundup on paste, but after doing some more research to this paste, it seems to be pretty poor on GPUs..

But from what I've read around, there is a big difference in effectiveness from CPU to GPU paste.

Just take the Xigmatek i thought would be among the best, scored nr. 4 overall CPU wise, while being 3rd last in GPU, 12 degrees hotter than the best. :confused:

Anyway, I will probably buy a tube of whats suggested here, MX-4 and the IC Diamond and try them all.
