Best value Thermal paste?

mictlantecutli · Aug 20, 2013

Need a good thermal paste,Preferably the best bang for the buck. I am trying to repaste my G73Jh and i'm a bit weary about putting stock thermal paste back on(which i have lots of).

Does aftermarket thermal paste make that big a difference?

This stuff has done great cooling for me and I use it on client PCs

Here is a link to the same product but with a surface purifier if you are replacing old paste

Best of luck

The difference I believe is typically between 7-15 degrees Celsius depending on your chassis and CPU cooling which keeps me down from red lining on my laptop I (have to) use for gaming

Each product tested received the curing time recommended (see below), or approximately one hour of thermal cycling prior to testing when no cure time was specified.
(0) No Curing Time or Special Application Suggested
(4) Arctic Silver 5 Application Instructions (up to 200-hours recommended curing time)

AS5's 200 hours of thermal cycling .... not on time..... a thermal cycle is time between turning puter on and off

Best in my opinion and/or seen...
1. Prolimatech Thermal Compond
2. Tuniq TX-3
3. Artic Silver 5

If you dont want to buy any thermal compound then just use "Mustard" OR "Toothpaste" OR "Butter", it performs better than not having thermal compound! Out of these three, the mustard is the best one and toothpaste next then butter haha...

Just go with Arctic Cooling MX-4. No cure time, still works greats, widely available and affordable.

If u look for perfrmance to cost ratio this is the best

Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver Ceramique 2 Tri-Linear 2.7g Thermal Paste ($2.98 @ Outlet PC)

I ended up going with Tuniq TX-2.It's got excellent reviews by users and Journos alike.Costs only 5 bucks,and puts some 15$ pastes to shame(according to reviews)
