I've got an old promo tube of this stuff: https://www.angstronmaterials.com/shop/ang-stp-k10-graphene-thermal-paste/ that I'm about to test out. I've been running trusty old AS5 for as long as I can remember though.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Best current TIM?

Just an update, got a MASSIVE improvement in temps moving to the graphene TIM (~10c under load - idle is the same), but I'm thinking a lot of that could be my piss poor application of AS5. When I removed the water-block I noticed I had incomplete coverage, may be the culprit behind the ~ 10c difference between this graphene TIM and AS5. If I ever get some more time I'll probably do some head to head testing, this is the only time I've noticed any change when swapping between different TIMs.

Actually this is quite interesting!! Please keep us updated...
I gave the EK Indigo XS a try - kinda amazing performance. In my system it works great! A bit scary to install, and I'd say for a large well ventilated case, it's likely not worth the cost.
I also wonder if my delid job coupled with the EK waterblock may have been bending the CPU substrate.
