Thermal paste

DevaVictrix · 30 Mar 2020 at 00:20

Please could someone recommend a decent thermal paste for a relatively basic build. I'm guessing it won't matter what I buy but there are so many brands and types I feel like I'm about to throw a dart blindfolded!

I have an i5 6600 and a Be Quiet Dark Rock Slim cooler. FWIW, I previously had an i3 6100 and used the bundled Be Quiet compound. My temps never went over 65c and usually sat at 60c when gaming.

Thank you!

Tried, tested and hard to get wrong and still gives great results.
