Opinions on Thermal Compounds
« on: April 16, 2013, 10:46:06 AM »
Hello peeps, just purchased a CPU cooler on newegg this morning, but not yet decided on purchasing (if any) separate thermal compounds.

Reviews and opinions on other tech forums are fine and all but because I may be lugging my future build back and forth between Trinidad and Canada for a few months till I settle back down somewhere I'm looking for opinions on those that perform well at home in that clime. More likely than not I will be running it in an A/C room, but I just wanna do the thorough checking thing and have it out one time.

Here's the cooler I went with:

Used Arctic Silver 5 a few years ago because it was the 'in' thing for overclocking.

Switched to this for everything i own and sold:

Used it in my current and past liquid cooling setups as well (video card and cpu), non conductive.

This one also supposed to be excellent performance as well, never used it though:

Don't have a/c either.
