Hi, Which thermal paste do you recommend below:

Arctic Silver 5

Arctic Cooling MX-4

IC Diamond 24-Carat

Noctua NT-H1

I'm currently using MX3.

Cheers

IC Diamond

lol, i tried that and i really didn't like it, my one was very very hard to apply

@RJC cool, just noticed that its pretty old, just looking for MX4 VS AS5 review.

Really? You used the blob method or did you spread it around?

I tried spreading it mate, the paste was very hard. I take it its not meant to be like that?

It was this one:

is it worth giving it another go? don't mind paying the extra £6 over the AS5 as long as its better. I've heard it leaves nasty marks etc behind, and it can remove the info off the heatspeader?

Hmm, thanks for everyone's reply, I think i'll go with MX4.

Edit: What's the Noctua NT N1 like?

Edit2: got the noctua paste instead.
