Thermal Paste

[bobbagels]

Just wanted to ask which is the best Thermalpaste to use.

I used the paste that comes with the Noctua CPU cooler last time.
Now that I have to switch the MoBo soon (i hope) I just thought if there is something better I should be using.

Shin Etsu X23-7783D, by far.

I like AS5. Been using it for years now and always like the performance I get out of it.

AS5 is old now, most things i've seen zae showing tx-2 as the best choice.

IC Diamond offers the best performance, but its only by a couple of degrees. There are at least a half dozen thermal pastes available that perform within 2-3 degrees of one another.
