I was wondering about Thermal Paste here... I've known Arctic Silver has been a good paste to use over a wide variety of other pastes but what I want to know is which one would suit me better?
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Interface Material 3.5g -- Ideal for CPU's
Arctic Silver Alumina Thermal Adhesive 7g (2 Part) -- Ideal for VDU's
Arctic Silver Ceramique Thermal compound 22g -- Ideal for CPU's
Arctic Silver Ceramique Thermal compound 2.5g -- Ideal for CPU's
This is basically so I know which to order for when my GPU Cooler comes, the GPU Cooler I have ordered is an Arctic Silencer Rev.2, should be here in a day or two. I'm gathering that the Alumina Thermal Adhesive is what I need, but would the others surpass it when it comes to me wanting to overclock my graphics card? When I get my new GPU Cooler, I'd like to know I have in some way one of the best if not *the* best thermal paste on my GPU's core so I know I can up the overclocking quite well
So I can kill two stones with one bird, I'd like to know which of the above is better for cooling the CPU with a heatsink on it? As when I get my XP-90 heatsink I'll be wanting to overclock my AMD Athlon 64 FX-55
Thanks in advance!
